Three compounds containing potassium and oxygen are compared. Analysis shows that for each 1.00 g of O, the compounds have 1.22

g, 2.44g, and 4.89 g of K, respectively. Show how these data support the law of proportion..

<span>The law of proportion states that elements combine in whole number ratios. The gram readings for K are multiples of each other, both in grams and moles.
Let us compare the ratios:
</span>2.44 grams/1.22 grams = 2
<span>4.89 grams/2.44 grams = 2</span>

<span>Therefore, Potassium always combines with Oxygen in a ratio of 2  is to 1.</span>

The reaction of benzene with (CH3)3CCH2Cl in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride produces principally which of these?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

When the carbocation is formed by the action of AlCl3 on the (CH3)3CCH2Cl, a primary carbocation is formed. The formation of the carbonation is followed by a 1,2-alkyl shift to give a tertiary carbocation which subsequently adds to the benzene ring as shown in the image attached to this answer.

Suppose a soap manufacturer starts with a triglyceride that has the fatty acid chains arachidic acid, palmitic acid and palmitic
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Sodium arachidate; Sodium palmitate and Sodium palmitate

Explanation:

Triglycerides are esters of fatty acids with glycerol. In triglycerides, three fatty acid molecules are linked by ester bonds to each of the three carbon atoms in a glycerol molecule. The fatty acids may be same or different fatty acid molecules. Hydrolysis of triglycerides yields the three fatty acid molecules and glycerol.

Saponification is the process by which a base is used to catalyst the hydrolysis of the ester bonds in glycerides. The products of this base-catalyzed hydrolysis of triglycerides are the metallic salts of the three fatty acids and glycerol. The salts of the fatty acids are known as soaps.

For a triglyceride that has the fatty acid chains arachidic acid, palmitic acid and palmitic acid attached to the three backbone carbons glycerol, the saponification of the triglyceride with NaOH will yield the sodium salts or soaps of the three fatty acids as well as glycerol.

Arachidic acid will react with NaOH to yield sodium arachidate.

The two palmitic acid molecules will each react with NaOH to yield sodium palmitate.

Choose the correct answers from the drop-down menus to complete the paragraph about how sunlight travels through the atmosphere.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: reflected, clouds, greenhouse effect.

Explanation:

  Sunlight can be absorbed, reflected , or scattered before it reaches Earth’s surface. About 30 percent of sunlight hits Earth directly, and 22 percent is filtered through clouds . Dust particles scatter short wavelengths, which causes the sky to appear blue. Earth radiates heat into the atmosphere, which traps the heat in gases, causing the greenhouse effect.

Sort these six events from the earliest to the most recent. Democritus proposes the existence of atoms- Dalton's atomic theory-
Igoryamba
These events are actually sorted right, according to the time they occurred.
1. Democritus proposes the existence of atoms - this happened in the 5th century BC
2. Dalton's atomic theory - it was first presented in 1803
3. J.J. Thomson discovers the electron - happened in 1897
4. Rutherford's gold foil experiment - somewhere between 1908 and 1913
5. Bohr model - it was introduced in 1913
6. Schrodinger's wave - the equation was published in 1925

Which elements do not strictly follow the octet rule when they appear in the Lewis structure of a molecule?
Virty [35]

Thee question is incomplete; the complete question is;

Which elements do not strictly follow the octet rule when they appear in the Lewis structure of a molecule?

Select one or more:

A: Chlorine

B: Carbon

C: Hydrogen

D: Sulfur

E: Fluorine

F: Oxygen

Answer:

chlorine

sulphur

Explanation:

The octet rule states that, for  atoms to be stable, they must have eight electrons on their outermost shells.

This rule is not strictly followed  by some elements such as sulphur and chlorine. The atoms of these elements can sometimes expand their octet by utilizing the d-orbitals found in the third principal energy level and beyond.

These leads to formation of compounds in which the central atom has more than eight electrons in its outermost shell.
