Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Acidified potassium dichromate solution is used to test for the presence of a primary or secondary alcohol.

b) The orange color of the potassium dichromate solution is reduced to green when it reacts with an alcohol.

c) The oxidation of a primary alcohol produces a carboxylic acid.

d) The oxidation of a secondary alcohol produces a ketone.

e) The dichromate test does not work for tertiary alcohols because they cannot be further oxidized. Methylpropan-2-ol is a tertiary alcohol with the chemical structure:

CH3

|

CH3—C—OH

|

CH3

Since there are no hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group, it cannot be oxidized.

a) A simple test for the presence of a carboxylic acid group is the addition of sodium hydrogencarbonate solution to the compound. The reagent reacts with the carboxylic acid to produce carbon dioxide gas.

Reagent: Sodium hydrogencarbonate solution

Observation: Effervescence (bubbling) due to the release of carbon dioxide gas.

b) To confirm that the gas produced in the hydrogencarbonate test is carbon dioxide, it can be tested with limewater. Carbon dioxide turns limewater milky/cloudy due to the formation of calcium carbonate.

c) The hydrogencarbonate test is not conclusive proof that a carboxylic acid group is present in a completely unknown compound because some other functional groups such as phenols and alcohols can also react with the reagent and produce carbon dioxide. Therefore, additional tests such as the dichromate test or Tollens' test may be needed to confirm the presence of a carboxylic acid group.

Identify the color absorbed by a solution that appears the color given.
Blue=
Red=
Orange=
Green=

Answers

Blue = orange/yellow light (wavelengths around 450-500 nm) is absorbed by the solution that appears blue.

Red = green light (wavelengths around 550-600 nm) is absorbed by the solution that appears red.

Orange = blue light (wavelengths around 450-500 nm) is absorbed by the solution that appears orange.

Green = red light (wavelengths around 650-700 nm) is absorbed by the solution that appears green.

Give a short note on absorption.

Color absorption takes place because substances selectively absorb certain wavelengths of visible light, while transmitting or reflecting others. The color that we perceive is the result of the wavelengths of light that are not absorbed, but rather transmitted or reflected, and detected by our eyes. This phenomenon is commonly used in colorimetric analysis and can provide important information about the electronic structure and composition of a substance.

Hence, the answer is,

Blue = orange/yellow light

Red = green light

Orange = blue light

Green = red light

As an electron moves from a high potential to a low potential, its electrical potential energy.

Answers

As an electron moves from a high potential to a low potential, its electrical potential energy increases.

Electric potential energy:

Electric potential energy is the energy that is needed to move a charge against an electric field. We need more energy to move a charge further in the electric field, but also more energy to move it through a stronger electric field.

The direction of electric fields is from the region of high potential to low potential and electrons or any negatively charged particle will move against the field or lower potential to a higher potential.

Therefore when an electron moves from higher to lower potential electrical potential energy increases.

Explanation:

How many 4d electrons would be predicted in the ground state for the following elements?a. zirconiumb. cadmiumc. iridiumd. iron

Answers

In order to answer the question first we must write the atomic number of each element:

Zirconium (Zr): 40

Cadmium (Cd): 48

Iridium (Ir): 77

Iron (Fe): 26

Then, we have to complete the distribution of electrons in each orbital for each atom:

The first 4 levels have the following distribution:

Level1: 1s

Number of electrones: 2

Level 2: 2s, 2p

Number of electrones 8 (2 in the s orbital and 6 in the p orbitals).

Level3: 3s, 3p, 3d

Number of electrones 18 (2 in the s orbital, 6 in the p orbital and 10 in the d orbitals)

Level 4: 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f

Number of electrones 32 (2 in the s orbital, 6 in the p orbitals, 10 in the d orbitals and 14 in the f orbitals)

The order in which the orbitlas are completed depends on the energy of each level. For example the 4s orbitals will be completed before the 3d orbitals because their energy is lower.

The order is as follows:

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p...

Now, knowing the atomic number we can answer the question:

For Zirconium (total 40 electrones):

\(1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^6,4s^2,3d^{10},4p^6,5s^2,4d^2\)

2 electrones are predicted in the 4d orbital

For Cadmium (total 48 electrones):

\(1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^6,4s^2,3d^{10},4p^6,5s^2,4d^{10}^{}\)

10 electrones are predicted in the 4d orbital

For iridium, as it has an atomic number higher than Cadmium we can predict tha it also complets the 4d orbital, then it has also 10 electrones in it.

For iron (total 26 electrones)

\(1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^64s^2,3d^6\)

Iron has no electrones in the 4d orbitals

A balloon in the lab upstairs has 0.18 moles of an ideal gas in it, at a temperature of 27

degrees Celsius. If the atmospheric pressure today is 102,300 Pa, what must be its volume? Two

possible gas constants to choose from are (choose wisely unless you like converting units):

R= 8.314 J K−1 mol−1 R= 0.082 L atm K−1 mol−1

Answers

Using the ideal gas law equation PV = nRT, with n = 0.18 mol, R = 8.314 J K^(-1) mol^(-1), T = 300.15 K, and P = 102,300 Pa, the volume of the balloon can be calculated.

To find the volume of the balloon, we can use the ideal gas law equation PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

Step 1: Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin.

Given that the temperature is 27 degrees Celsius, we need to add 273.15 to convert it to Kelvin.

T = 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15 K

Step 2: Determine the gas constant to use.

We are given two options for the gas constant: R = 8.314 J K^(-1) mol^(-1) or R = 0.082 L atm K^(-1) mol^(-1). Choose the appropriate gas constant based on the desired units for the volume.

Step 3: Substitute the values into the ideal gas law equation.

Using the selected gas constant, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the volume:

V = (nRT) / P

Substitute the given values:

V = (0.18 mol * R * 300.15 K) / 102,300 Pa

Step 4: Calculate the volume.

Evaluate the expression to find the volume of the balloon in the desired units, whether it be in cubic meters (m³) using the first gas constant or in liters (L) using the second gas constant.

b because chemical potential energy is the amount of energy something has inside and can release out. so if it releases more heat it had more energy inside to give.

think of it like a student who had loads of potential when they do an exam they should release that and the result will be a good grade for example

The fact that coal releases more heat than charcoal means that the chemical potential energy is lower in charcoal than in coal.

When the substance is burnt in oxygen, the chemical potential energy stored in the substance is converted into heat energy. The substance that has the most chemical potential energy releases the most energy when burnt.

Explanation:

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm³, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long fiber. (a) If a sample of gold, with a mass of 8.489 g, is pressed into a leaf of 5.966 μm thickness, what is the area of the leaf? (b) If, instead, the gold is drawn out into a cylindrical fiber of radius 2.500 μm, what is the length of the fiber?

Answers

(a) When the density of gold is 19.32 g/\(cm^{3}\) than area of the gold leaf is approximately 0.4386 cm².

(b) The length of the gold fiber is given by h = 0.4386 cm³ / (π * (2.500 × 10⁻⁴ cm)²).

To solve these problems, we can use the formula for the volume of a shape and the given density of gold.

(a) To find the area of the leaf, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular shape: V = A * h, where V is the volume, A is the area, and h is the thickness.

Given the mass of gold (m = 8.489 g) and density (ρ = 19.32 g/cm³), we can find the volume: V = m / ρ.

Substituting the values, we have V = 8.489 g / 19.32 g/cm³ = 0.4386 cm³.

Since the leaf is pressed into a thin shape, we can assume it has a rectangular shape, and the volume is approximately equal to the area: A ≈ V = 0.4386 cm².

(b) To find the length of the fiber, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylindrical shape: V = π * r² * h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the length.

Given the mass of gold (m = 8.489 g) and density (ρ = 19.32 g/cm³), we can find the volume: V = m / ρ.

Substituting the values, we have V = 8.489 g / 19.32 g/cm³ = 0.4386 cm³.

The volume of a cylinder is also equal to the product of the cross-sectional area (π * r²) and the length (h), so we have: π * r² * h = 0.4386 cm³.

Substituting the radius (r = 2.500 μm = 2.500 × 10⁻⁴ cm), we can solve for the length: h = 0.4386 cm³ / (π * (2.500 × 10⁻⁴ cm)²).

To summarize:

(a) The area of the gold leaf is approximately 0.4386 cm².

(b) The length of the gold fiber is given by h = 0.4386 cm³ / (π * (2.500 × 10⁻⁴ cm)²).

what happens if the spots are made too large when preparing a tlc plate for development?

Answers

If the spots on a TLC plate are made too large when preparing it for development, there are a few potential consequences.

First, the resolution of the separation may be compromised, as the larger spots will not allow for as much separation between different components in the sample. Second, the spots may merge together as they migrate up the plate during development, making it difficult or impossible to distinguish between different components.

Finally, the larger spots may saturate the stationary phase on the TLC plate, which can lead to poor retention and separation. It is important to carefully control the size of spots when preparing a TLC plate to ensure accurate and effective separation of components in the sample.
