The conjugation of the trans/cis product is likely diminished due to steric interactions between the cis-phenyl and the nearby vinyl hydrogen. This interaction likely causes the phenyl ring to twist out of the plane, and thus no longer to be fully conjugated with the adjacent double bond. The trans-trans isomer has no such steric interactions, and thus it is expected to be more fully conjugated. The two isomers are thus may have different light absorbing properties.

Considering all this, which product stereoisomer do you expect to have the highest lambda max value in the UV-V is spectrum- the trans/trans or the cis/trans? Briefly explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The trans/trans stereoisomer.

Explanation:

So, we are going to have two stereoisomers or arrangements for this chemical compound, that is the Cis/trans, the trans/trans.

For a compound to be seen with UV, the main or primary condition is conjugation or how conjugated the chemical specie or compound is.

Thus, the more the conjugation, the more or the higher the wavelength or lands value.

=> The Trans/trans stereoisomer will have the highest lamda value or wavelength because the energy gap in its π - π* Transitioning deceases due to the STERIC interactions, and the more the decrease in the energy gap, the more or the higher the lamda value or wavelength.

[tex]HNO_2(aq)+Ca(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+Ca(NO_2)_2(aq)[/tex]

As it is not balanced due to the two nitrites at the right, we obtain:

What is the molecular shape of a Cl2CO molecule?

C) Trigonal planar
D) Trigonal pyramidal
E) Bent

Answers

C). Trigonal planar

Example: O=CCl2, otherwise known as the early chemical warfare agent Phosgene is SP2 hybridized about the carbon atom, thus it is "trigonal planer" in molecular geometry terms. Here's a ball & stick model with oxygen (red) double bonded to the carbon atom.

The molecular shape of a Cl₂CO molecule is (E) Bent. Option E

molecular shape of a  Cl₂CO molecule

Cl₂CO, which is also called carbonyl chloride or phosgene, is a molecule made up of one carbon atom (C), two chlorine atoms (Cl), and one oxygen atom (O) attached to the carbon atom. The Lewis structure of  Cl₂CO shows that the oxygen atom has two sets of unshared electrons. This makes the molecule have a curved shape.

The reason why  Cl₂CO has a bent shape is because the lone pairs on the oxygen atom push the bonded atoms away more than the shared pairs of electrons. Because of this, the two Cl atoms move closer to each other. This causes the bond angle to be less than 180 degrees and makes the molecule have a bent shape.

“When nitrogen is liquefied, heat is released.”
Is this statement true or false?
It is false because nitrogen absorbs heat when it is liquefied.
It is false because nitrogen cannot absorb enough heat to liquefy.

The statement, that describes when nitrogen is liquefied, heat is released is "it is true because heat is released when a gas changes to a liquid."

What is heat released?

Heat is used to release energy in some chemical reactions. In other words, they radiate heat into the environment.

The energy generated when a gas condenses to a liquid is known as latent heat of condensation. Condensation is the transformation of a gas into a liquid.

When steam is cooled, it releases thermal energy and transforms into a liquid. This is known as condensation.

Use the balanced equation to answer the question.

2 C2H6(g) + 5 O2(g) delta 4 CO(g) + 6 H2O(g)

How many moles of H2O are formed from 0.60 moles of C2H6?

Answers

Answer:

1.8 moles of H20

Explanation:

The balanced equation gives you the ratio of moles.

so you then have to say the number of moles of the substance you have multiplied by the the ratio of what you are looking for to what you have.

The ratio should be written in the form of a/b (fraction)

0.90 moles of H₂O are formed from 0.60 moles of C₂H₆.

From the balanced equation, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio between C₂H₆ and H₂O is 2:6. This means that for every 2 moles of C₂H₆ reacted, 6 moles of H₂O are formed.

Given that we have 0.60 moles of C₂H₆, we can use this ratio to calculate the corresponding moles of H₂O.

(0.60 moles C₂H₆) x (6 moles H₂O / 2 moles C₂H₆) = 1.80 moles H₂O

Therefore, 0.60 moles of C₂H₆ will produce 1.80 moles of H₂O according to the stoichiometry of the balanced equation.

However, it's worth noting that the given balanced equation doesn't match the stoichiometry usually seen for the combustion of ethane (C₂H₆). The typical balanced equation for the complete combustion of ethane is:

C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂ -> 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

In this case, 0.60 moles of C₂H₆ would produce 0.90 moles of H₂O according to the stoichiometry of the balanced equation.

15.05 ml of a KOH solution neutralizes 25.6 mL of a 5.0 M H2SO4 solution. What is the concentration of the KOH solution?

Answers

Answer:

The concentration of KOH solution is 17.009 moles/litre or 17.009M .

Explanation:

Here , the given reaction is -

[tex]2KOH +H_{2}SO_{4}$\rightarrow$K_{2}SO_{4}+2H_{2}O[/tex]

 2moles of KOH requires 1mole for complete neutralisation.

Therefore ,

2 x number of moles of KOH = 1 x number of moles of [tex]H_{2}SO_{4}[/tex]

2 x (molarity of KOH x volume of KOH) = (Molarity of [tex]H_{2}SO_{4}[/tex] x volume of

[tex]H_{2}SO_{4}[/tex])

1 mole of [tex]OH^- $\rightarrow$[/tex] 1mole of [tex]H^+[/tex]

Molarity (KOH) = concentration (c)

volume (KOH) =15.05ML

Molarity ([tex]H_{2}SO_{4}[/tex] ) = 5.0 M

Volume of ( [tex]H_{2}SO_{4}[/tex] ) = 25.6ML

[tex]\frac{1\times(C \times15.05ml)}{OH^-} = \frac{(2\times 25.6 \times 5)}{H^+}[/tex]

C = [tex]\frac{0.2\times25.6\times5}{15.05}[/tex]

C= 17.009 moles/litre

Hence , the concentration of KOH solution is 17.009 M or moles/litre .

The phase changes occur when the substances undergoes transition between different states of matter. All phase changes involve either gain or release of energy. Here condensation involves a release of energy. The correct option is B.

What is condensation?

The process through which the physical state of matter changes from the gaseous phase into the liquid phase is defined as the condensation. The condensation occurs when water vapor in the air changes into liquid water when it comes in contact with a cooler surface.

During condensation molecules in the gaseous state release energy to change state to a liquid. The opposite of the condensation is the evaporation. At high pressure and low temperature any gas can condense.

Condensation is also important to the water cycle as it is responsible for the formation of clouds and maintains water balance.

Thus the correct option is B.

Explanation:

Krypton (Kr) exists naturally as a mixture of six isotopes with atomic number of 36. These six isotopes occupy different percentages of the mixture. Below is a list of the isotopes and there percentage in a given mixture

1) Krypton-78 (⁷⁸Kr) ⇒ 0.35%

2) Krypton-80 (⁸⁰Kr) ⇒ 2.25%

3) Krypton-82 (⁸²Kr) ⇒ 11.6%

4) Krypton-83 (⁸³Kr) ⇒ 11.5%

5) Krypton-84 (⁸⁴Kr) ⇒ 57%

6) Krypton-86 (⁸⁶Kr) ⇒ 17.3%

To determine the amount of ⁸³Kr present in a mixture of 200 atoms of krypton, you will multiply the it's percentage of occurrence in nature by the amount of atoms in a given mixture

11.5/100 × 200 = 23 atoms

Increasing the temperature

Partial pressure is the pressure exhibited by a single gas when present alone in a system. According to Le's principle, the partial pressure of B can be raised by increasing temperature. Thus, option C is correct.

What is Le's principle?

Le's principle states the shift in the position of the equilibrium when the reaction system is disturbed by some factors. The pressure, temperature, and concentration are the factors that affect the equilibria of the reaction mixture.

According to the ideal gas equation and Le's principle, the pressure of the system directly depends on the temperature. As the temperature of the system is raised the partial pressure of the reactant (B) will increase, and the reaction will move in the forward direction.

Therefore, the increase in the temperature increases the partial pressure of the gas.

10 / Vb = 1

Cross multiply

1 × Vb = 10

Vb = 10 mL

Titration of H₂SO₄ and NaOH

1 × Vb = 10 × 2

Vb = 20 mL
