Answer:
Conversion of 2-methyl-2-butene into a secondary alkyl halide - ROOR, HBr
Conversion of 2-methyl-2-butene into a tertiary alkyl halide - HBr
Explanation:
The addition of HBr to 2-methyl-2-butene occurs in accordance to Markovnikov rule in the absence of peroxide.
According to Markovnikov rule; ''the negative part of the addendum is attached to the carbon atom bearing the least number of hydrogen atoms.'' Following the Markovnikov rule, the tertiary alkyl halide is obtained.
In the presence of peroxide, this rule is not followed and the reaction proceeds in an anti-Markovnikov way to yield a secondary alkyl halide.

one mole of water (6.022 x 10 23 molecules) has a mass of 18.02 g. One mol of NaCl (6.02 x1023 formulas) has a mass of 58.44 g.
Explanation:
• The mole (or mol) represents a certain number of objects.
• SI def.: the amount of a substance that contains the same
number of entities as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12.
• Exactly 12 g of carbon-12 contains 6.022 x 10 23 atoms.
• One mole of H 2O molecules
contains 6.022 x 10 23 molecules.
• 1 mole contains 6.022 x 10 23 entities (Avogadro’s number)
• One mole of NaCl contains 6.022 x 10 23 NaCl formula units.
• Use the mole quantity to count formulas by weighing them.
• Mass of a mole of particles = mass of 1 particle x 6.022 x 1023
Mass of 1 H atom: 1.008 amu x 1.661 x10-24 g/amu = 1.674 x10-24 g
Mass of 1 mole of H atoms:
1.674 x10-24g/H atom x 6.022 x1023H atoms = 1.008 g
• The mass of an atom in amu is numerically the same
as the mass of one mole of atoms of the element in grams.

The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is:
__CO2(g) + __H2O(l) UV/chlorophyl−→−−−−−−−−−−−−−− __C6H12O6(s) + __O2(g)
What is the volume of oxygen gas at STP produced from 2.20 g of CO2 (44.01 g/mol)?
a. 1.12 L
b. .187 L
c. 4.32 L
d. 6.72 L
e. 1.60 L
Answer:
a. 1.12 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the photosynthesis
6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g)
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.20 g of CO₂
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.
2.20 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 0.0500 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂ produced
The molar ratio of CO₂ to O₂ is 6:6. The moles of O₂ produced are 6/6 × 0.0500 mol = 0.0500 mol
Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0500 moles of O₂ at STP
At STP, 1 mole of O₂ occupies 22.4 L.
0.0500 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.12 L

The following equilibria were attained at 823 K:
COO(s) + H2() Co(s) + H2O(g) K = 67
COO(s) + CO(8) = Co(s) + CO2(8) K = 490
Based on these equilibria, calculate the equilibrium con-
stant for
H2(g) + CO2(g) = CO(g) + H2O(g) at 823 K.
The equilibrium constant for the reaction is K = 0.137
We obtain the equilibrium constant considering the following equilibria and their constants:
COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g) K₁ = 67
COO(s) + CO(g) → Co(s) + CO₂(g) K₂ = 490
We write the first reaction in the forward direction because we need H₂(g) in the reactants side:
(1) COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g) K₁ = 67
Then, we write the second reaction in the reverse direction because we need CO₂(g) in the reactants side. Thus, the equilibrium constant for the reaction in the reverse direction is the reciprocal of the constant for the reaction in the forward direction (K₂):
(2) Co(s) + CO₂(g) → COO(s) + CO(g) K₂ = 1/490
From the addition of (1) and (2), we obtain:
COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g) K₁ = 67
+
Co(s) + CO₂(g) → COO(s) + CO(g) K₂ = 1/490
-------------------------------------------------
H₂(g) + CO₂(g) → CO(g) + H₂O(g)
Notice that Co(s) and COO(s) are removed that appear in the same amount at both sides of the chemical equation.
Now, the equilibrium constant K for the reaction that is the sum of other two reactions is calculated as the product of the equilibrium constants, as follows:
K = K₁ x K₂ = 67 x 1/490 = 67/490 = 0.137

Based on the following observations decide the order of reactivity for hydrogen, magnesium, and copper. Hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium but did not react with copper. magnesium reacted with copper sulfate. Write your answers in the blanks. For magnesium write magnesium for hydrochloric acid write hydrogen and for copper sulfate write copper.
Answer:
Mg> H> Cu
Explanation:
We can see from the question that hydrochloric acid reacted with magnesium as follows;
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Copper does not react with HCl which means that copper is less reactive than hydrogen hence it can not displace hydrogen from a dilute acid solution.
The order of reactivity of the elements then is ; Mg> H> Cu
Which gas has the highest diffusing rate between nitrogen , oxygen , hydrogen and chlorine
Answer:
hydrogen
Explanation:
The gas with the least molecular weight effuses the fastest (Graham's Law). Hence, H gas has a higher rate of diffusion compared to N, O, and Cl.
So, Cl is the slowest when it comes to the rate of diffusion, because it has the highest molecular weight.

An aqueous solution contains 0.374 M ammonia (NH3). How many mL of 0.276 M nitric acid would have to be added to 125 mL of this solution in order to prepare a buffer with a pH of 8.970.
Answer:
111.95mL of HNO3 are needed to prepare the buffer
Explanation:
We can solve this equation using H-H equation for bases:
pOH = pKb + log [HA+] / [A]
Where pOH is the pOH of the solution
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 8.970 = 5.03
pKb is the pKb of NH3 = 4.74
[HA+] could be taken as moles of NH4+
[A] as moles of NH3
The NH3 reacts with nitric acid, HNO3, as follows:
NH3 + HNO3 → NH4+ + NO3-
That means the moles of HNO3 added = X = Moles of NH4+ produced
And moles of NH3 are initial moles NH3 - X
Initial moles of NH3 are:
0.125L * (0.374mol/L) = 0.04675 moles NH3
Replacing in H-H equation:
pOH = pKb + log [HA+] / [A]
5.03 = 4.74 + log [X] / [0.04675-X]
0.29 = log [X] / [0.04675-X]
1.95 = [X] / [0.04675-X]
0.0912 - 1.95X = X
0.0912 = 2.95X
X = 0.0309 moles
We need to add 0.0309 moles of HNO3. From a solution that is 0.276M:
0.0309 moles of HNO3 * (1L / 0.276moles) = 0.11195L of HNO3 are needed
In mL:
111.95mL of HNO3 are needed to prepare the buffer

The half life for the radioactive decay of carbon- to nitrogen- is years. Suppose nuclear chemical analysis shows that there is of nitrogen- for every of carbon- in a certain sample of rock. Calculate the age of the rock. Round your answer to significant digits. g
Answer:
Age of rock = 6.12 × 10³ years
Note: The question is incomplete.A similar but complete question is given below.
The half-life for the radioactive decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is 5.73 x 10^3 years. Suppose nuclear chemical analysis shows that there is 0.523mmol of nitrogen-14 for every 1.000 mmol of carbon-14 in a certain sample of rock.
Calculate the age of the rock. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the atoms in the atomic nucleus of a material to disintegrate.
The half-life for the radioactive decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is given as 5.73 x 10³ years. This means that given 1 mole of carbon-14 is present initially, after one half-life, 0.5 moles of carbon-14 would remain.
Number of millimoles of carbon-14 remaining = 1 - 0.523 = 0.477 mmol
Number of half-lives that the carbon-14 has undergone is determined as follows:
Amount remaining = (1/2)ⁿ
where nnis number of half-lives
0.5 mmol = one half-life
0.5 = (1/2)¹
O.477 = (1/2)ⁿ = (0.5)ⁿ
㏒₀.₅(0.477) = n
n = ㏒(0.477)/㏒(0.5)
n = 1.067938829
Age of the rock = number of half-lives × half-life
Age of rock = 1.067938829 × 5.73 × 10³ years
Age of rock = 6.12 × 10³ years

Each 5-ml teaspoon of Extra Strength Maalox Plus contains 450 mg of magnesium hydroxide and 500 mg of aluminum hydroxide. How many moles of hydronium ions H3O are neutralized by 1 teaspoon of antacid product?
Answer:
0.0347 moles of hydronium ions
Explanation:
The equation of the neutralization reaction between hydroxide and hydronium ions is given below:
H₃O+ (aq) + OH- (aq) ----> 2 H₂O (l)
From the equation above, 1 mole of hydroxide ions will neutralize one mole hydronium ions.
The moles of hydroxide ions present in 1 teaspoon or 5 mL of antacid product is calculated as follows:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Molar mass of Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂ = 58 g/mol
Molar mass of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)₃ = 78 g/mol
Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 450 g = 0.45 g
Mass of aluminium hydroxide = 500 mg = 0.5 g
Moles of magnesium hydroxide = (0.45/58) moles
Moles of aluminium hydroxide = (0.5/78) moles
Equation of the ionization of magnesium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide is given below:
Mg(OH)₂ (aq) ----> Mg²+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
Al(OH)₃ (aq) ---> Al³+ (aq) + 3 OH- (aq)
Number of moles of hydroxide ions present in (0.45/58) moles of magnesium hydroxide = 2 × (0.45/58) moles = 0.0155 moles
Number of moles of hydroxide ions present in (0.5/78) moles of aluminium hydroxide = 3 × (0.5/78) moles = 0.0192 moles
Total moles of hydroxide ions = 0.0155 + 0.0192 = 0.0347 moles hydroxide ions
Therefore, 0.0347 moles of hydroxide ions will neutralize 0.0347 moles of hydronium ions.

It has come to other cell biologists' attention recently that some cells are too small to contain all of the organelles inside of them. They decide that it's best to get rid of an organelle, but they're not sure which one. In the first process of this decision, they need to know "which organelle is the most important?"
Your job, as the head cell biologist, is to decide which organelle the cell cannot live without.
Write a research paper (intro, body, and conclusion) on which organelle is the most important and why.
If 1 mol of ferric oxide reacts with 3 moles of carbon monoxide to yield 2 mols of iron and 3 mols of carbon dioxide, how much CO will be needed to completely react with 50.26 g of ferric oxide?
Answer:
26.4g
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation as stated in this question is given as follows:
Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2
According to this balanced equation, 3 moles of carbon monoxide (CO) will react with 1 mole of Ferric oxide (Fe2O3).
We need to change 50.26 g of ferric oxide to moles by using the formula;
mole = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 56(2) + 16(3)
= 112 + 48
= 160g/mol
mole = 50.26/160
mole = 0.314mol of Fe2O3
If 3 moles of carbon monoxide (CO) will react with 1 mole of Ferric oxide (Fe2O3).
Hence, 0.314 mol of Fe2O3 will completely react with (0.314 × 3) mol of CO
0.314 × 3 = 0.94 mol of CO
molar mass of CO = 12 + 16 = 28g/mol
mole = mass/molar mass
mass = mole × M.M
mass = 0.94 × 28
mass = 26.4g of CO

A nuclease enzyme breaks the covalent bond originally connecting the phosphate to the 5' carbon in a nucleic acid. After allowing this enzyme to completely digest the nucleic acid down to monomers, you perform tests to determine where the phosphate is attached to each monomer. Where do you expect to find this phosphate
Answer:
The phosphate will remain attached to the 5' carbon of the deoxy or the ribose sugar in the nucleic acid monomers.
Explanation:
The structure of nucleic acid polymers is built up from monomers of nucleotides.
A nucleotide consists of a sugar backbone which is either a ribose or deoxyribose sugar, a nitogenous base which is either a purine or pyrimidine, and a phosphate group. The nitrogenous base is attached to the carbon number 1 or C-1 of the sugar backbone by a covalent bond. The phosphate group on the other hand is covalently attached to the carbon number 5 or 5' carbon of the sugar backbone.
When polymers of nucleic acids are formed, the phosphate at the 5' carbon of the sugar backbone is covalently linked in a phosphodiester bond to the 3' carbon of the sugar backbone in another nucleotide molecule, thus extending the strands of the nucleic acid molecule.
Nucleases are enzymes that break down the phosphodiseter bonds in nucleic acids resulting in nucleotide monomers. After complete digestion ofmthe nucleic acid polymer by nucleases, the phosphate will remain attached to the 5' carbon of the deoxy or the ribose sugar in the nucleic acid monomers.

To solve this question we need to find the moles of solute in 100g of solution and the volume using its density as follows:
a. Moles ethanol -Molar mass: 46.07g/mol-:
25g ethanol * (1mol/46.07g) = 0.54265 moles ethanol
kg solvent:
100g solution - 25g solute = 75g solvent * (1kg / 1000g) = 0.075kg
Molality:
0.54265 moles ethanol / 0.075kg = 7.24m
b. Liters solution:
100g solution * (1mL / 0.950g) = 105.3mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.1053L
Molarity:

A 25.0 mL sample of 0.150 M hypochlorous acid is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. What is the pH at the equivalence point? The Kaof hypochlorous acid is 3.0x10^-8.
a) 10.20
b) 7.00
c) 6.48
d) 7.52
e) 14.52
Answer:
pH = 10.20
Explanation:
The HClO reacts with NaOH as follows:
HClO + NaOH → H2O + NaClO
Where HClO and NaOH react in a 1:1 reaction.
As the concentration of both reactions is the same and the reaction is 1:1, to reach equivalence point are required the same 25.0mL.
And the NaClO produced decreases its concentration in 2 because the volume is doubled.
The concentration of NaClO is: 0.150M / 2 = 0.075M
The equilibrium of NaClO is:
NaClO(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ HClO(aq) + OH-(aq)
Where Kb of reaction is 1.0x10⁻¹⁴ / Ka =
1.0x10⁻¹⁴ / 3.0x10⁻⁸ = 3.33x10⁻⁷ = [HClO] [OH-] / [NaClO]
[NaClO] = 0.075M
As both HClO and OH- comes from the same equilibrium,
[HClO] = [OH-] = X
Where X is the reactoin coordinate
Replacing:
3.33x10⁻⁷ = [X] [X] / [0.075M]
2.5x10⁻⁸ = X²
X = 1.58x10⁻⁴M = [OH-]
pOH = -log [OH-]
pOH = 3.80
pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 10.20According to an informal 1992 survey, the drinking water in about one-third of the homes in Chicago had lead levels of about 10 ppb. Dr. Koether lived in Chicago from 1996 to 1998. Assuming she drank 1.4 L of water a day, calculate the total amount of lead in mg (using one decimal place) that she was exposed to over the two years if she lived in a home that had such high levels of lead.
Answer:
10.2 mg
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the total amount of water she drank
1 year has 365 days and she lived in Chicago for 2 years = 2 × 365 days = 730 days.
If she drank 1.4 L of water per day, the total amount of water she drank is:
730 day × 1.4 L/day = 1022 L
Step 2: Calculate the amount of Pb in 1022 L of water
The concentration of Pb is 10 ppb (10 μg/L).
1022 L × 10 μg/L = 10220 μg
Step 3: Convert 10220 μg to milligrams
We will use the conversion factor 1 mg = 1000 μg.
10220 μg × 1 mg/1000 μg = 10.2 mg
