After recrystallization, the final weight of biphenyl is found to be 0.02 g. Assume that all steps were carried out correctly, n

o spillages occurred, and the student lost minimal solid on the glassware or in transfers. Why is the recovery so low?

Explanation:

From the source, The student recrystallized biphenyl by using benzene. Biphenyl is non polar and so is benzene. Biphenyl is very soluble in benzene at low as well as high temperature. Thus, it do not recrystallize as like dissolves like and gives a very poor yield.

The good recovery of the product is dependent on compound having high solubility at the high temperatures and having low solubility at the low temperatures.

After a reaction, a new compound contains 0.73 g Mg and 0.28 g N. What is the empirical formula of this compound?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Mg₃N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a chemical compound is defined as the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound. Using molecular mass of Mg (24,305g/mol) and mass of nitrogen (14,006g/mol), moles of each element are:

0,73g × (1mol / 24,305g) = 0,03 moles of Mg

0,28g × (1mol / 14,006g) = 0,02 moles of N

Dividing each value in 0,01 to obtain natural numbers:

0,03 moles of Mg / 0,01 = 3

0,02 moles of N / 0,01 = 2.

Thus, empirical formula is: <em>Mg₃N₂</em>

Identify the most and the least acidic compound in each of the following sets.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Our answer options for this question are:

a. 2-chlorobutanoic acid:_______ 2-chlorobutanoic acid:_______ 3-chlorobutanoic acid:______.

b. 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid:______ p-nitrobenzoic acid:______ p-bromobenzoic acid:_______.

c. p-cyanobenzoic acid:________ benzoic acid:_______ p-aminobenzoic acid:______

We have to check each set of molecules

<u>a. 2-chlorobutanoic acid,</u> <u>3-chlorobutanoic acid</u>

<u />

In this case, the difference between these molecules is the position of "Cl". If the chlorine atom is closer to the acid group, we will have a higher inductive effect. So, the bond O-H would be weaker and we will have more acidity. So, the molecule with more acidity is <u>2-chlorobutanoic acid</u> and the less acidic would be <u>3-chlorobutanoic acid.</u>

<u />

<u>b. 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid,</u> <u>p-nitrobenzoic acid,</u> <u>p-bromobenzoic acid</u>

<u />

In this case, we have several structural differences. In all the structure, we have deactivating groups (Br and NO_2). If we have a deactivating group the acidity will increase. In the case of "Br", we have a weak deactivating, so, this will be the less acidic one (<u>p-bromobenzoic acid)</u>

in <u>2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid</u> we have two deactivating groups, therefore, this would be the most acid compound.

<u>c. p-cyanobenzoic acid</u>, <u>benzoic acid</u>, <u>p-aminobenzoic acid</u>

On these molecules, we have several structural differences. In <u>p-cyanobenzoic acid</u> we have a deactivating group, therefore in this molecule we will have more acidity. In the <u>p-aminobenzoic acid,</u> we have an activating group, so, this would be the less acidic compound.

One hour of bicycle racing can require 500-900 kcal of energy, depending on the speed of the race, the terrain, and the weight o
diamong [38]

Answer:

0.467 kilograms of protein or carbohydrates

Explanation:

First, there is a need to understand that <em>1 kJ = 0.239 kCal</em>

Hence, 17 kJ = 17 x 0.239 = 4.063 kCal

The race requires 650.0 kCal/hr and has to last for 175 minutes.

175 minutes = 175/60 = 2.917 hrs

The total kCal requires for the race = 650 x 2.917 = 1,895.833 kCal

1 g of protein or carbohydrate food produces 17.0 kJ or 4.063 kCal of energy. Hence, the total g of protein or carbohydrate that will produce 1,895.833 kCal of energy would be;

                    1,895.833/4.063 = 466.609 g

<em>1 g = 0.001 kg</em>

466.609 g = 466.609 x 0.001 = 0.467 kg

<em>Hence, </em><em>0.467 </em><em>kilograms of proteins or carbohydrates must be consumed.</em>

The unsaturated hydrocarbon butadiene (C4H6) dimerizes to 4-vinylcyclohexene (C8H12). When data collected in studies of the kine
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene folows second order kinetics and its rate law will be given by :

R=k[C_4H_6]^2

Explanation:

2C_4H_6\rightarrow C_8H_{12}

The rate of the reaction ;

R=k[C_4H_6]^x

As given in the question , that graph of time verses \frac{1}{[C_4H_6]} was linear but plots of [C_4H_6] or \ln[C_4H_6]  was curved.

Generally:

Graph of time verses [concentration] for zero order reaction is linear with negative slope.

Graph of time verses \ln [concentration] for secon order reaction is linear with negative slope.

Graph of time verses \frac{1}{[concentration]} for secon order reaction is linear with positive slope.

So, the dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene folows second order kinetics and its rate law will be given by :

R=k[C_4H_6]^2

A 157-mL sample of gas is collected over water at 22°C and 753 torr. What is the volume of the dry gas at STP? (The vapor pressu
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Volume at STP = 0.1401 L

Explanation:

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 20 torr

Total vapor pressure = 753 torr

Vapor pressure of gas = Total vapor pressure - Vapor pressure of water = 753 torr - 20 torr = 733 torr

Using

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 733 torr

V = Volume of the gas = 157 mL= 0.157 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 22^oC=[22+273]K=295K

R = Gas constant = 62.3637\text{ L.torr}mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

733 torr\times 0.157L=n\times 62.3637\text{L.torr}mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 295K\\\\n=\frac{733\times 0.157}{62.3637\times 295}=0.006255mol

At STP, one mole of the gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L

So, 0.006255 mole of the gas occupies a volume of 22.4*0.006255 L

<u>Volume at STP = 0.1401 L</u>
