Diethyl ether (DTH) and Tetrahydrofuran (THF).

Clarification:

  • Grignard reactions react with water, resulting in the formation of alkanes. The presence of water leads to rapid decomposition of the reagent.
Therefore, solvents like anhydrous diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran (THF), as well as poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol (PTMG), are used in experimental procedures to limit the exposure of Grignard reagents to air and moisture.
These solvents are chosen because the oxygen they contain stabilizes the magnesium reagent.
THF is a stable compound.

A 0.652-g sample of a pure strontium halide reacts with excess sulfuric acid. the solid strontium sulfate formed is separated, d
lorasvet [2668]

Answer:

The original halide's formula is SrCl₂.

Explanation:

  • The chemistry reaction's balanced equation is:

SrX₂ + H₂SO₄ → SrSO₄ + 2 HX, where X indicates the halide.

  • Based on the equation's stoichiometry, 1.0 mole of strontium halide yields 1.0 mole of SrSO₄.
  • The moles of SrSO₄ (n = mass/molar mass) = (0.755 g) / (183.68 g/mole) = 4.11 x 10⁻³ mole.
  • The moles of SrX can thus be calculated as 4.11 x 10⁻³ moles based on stoichiometry from the balanced equation.
  • n = mass / molar mass, thus n =  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles and mass = 0.652 g.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ is calculated using mass / n = (0.652) / (4.11 x 10⁻³ moles) = 158.62 g/mole.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ (158.62 g/mole) = Atomic mass of Sr (87.62 g/mole) + (2 x Atomic mass of halide X).
  • Calculating the atomic mass of halide X, we find = (158.62 g/mole) - (87.62 g/mole) / 2 = 71 / 2  g/mole = 35.5 g/mole.
  • This identifies the atomic mass of Cl.
  • Consequently, the original halide's formula is SrCl₂.

Suppose that a certain fortunate person has a net worth of $77.0 billion ($). If her stock has a good year and gains $3.20 billi
VMariaS [2860]

Answer:

The revised net worth rounded to three significant figures is $80.2 billion.

The donation to charity amounts to $100,250,000.

Explanation:

Initial net worth is $77.0 billion.

Stock gains are $3.20 billion.

Calculating new net worth: $77.0 billion + $3.20 billion = $80.20 billion.

Hence, new net worth to three significant figures is $80.2 billion.

One-eighth of a percent is calculated as (1/8 x 1) / 100 = 0.00125.

The charitable contribution amounts to 0.00125 X $80.2 billion = $100,250,000.

Alternatively, $80,200,000,000 divided by 100 results in $802,000,000.

castortr0y [2906]
The balloon's volume is 128 ml when the gas temperature rises to 320.0 K. Explanation: Given the following: T1 (initial temperature) = 300K, V1 (initial volume) = 120ml, T2 (final temperature) = 320 K, V2 (final volume) =?. Pressure is kept constant during this process. From the equation: Given that the pressure stays constant, we have: V2 = Putting the values into this formula yields: V2 = 128 ml, which indicates the volume of the gas when the temperature increases from 300 K to 320 K.

For each reaction, identify the element that gets reduced and the element that gets oxidized. 2AgCl+Zn⟶2Ag+ZnCl2 Identify the el
KiRa [2853]

Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation state corresponds to the charge of each atomic ion. An increase indicates oxidation of the element while a decrease reflects reduction of the element.

2AgCl+Zn⟶2Ag+ZnCl2

Zinc undergoes oxidation, while Ag experiences reduction.

Ag⁺ changes to Ag (oxidation state decreases), thus Ag is reduced.

Zn alters to Zn⁺² (oxidation state increases), hence Zn is oxidized.

4NH₃+3O₂⟶2N₂+6H₂O

The oxidation state of nitrogen in ammonia is -3

whereas it is zero in elemental nitrogen.

An increase in the oxidation state indicates nitrogen is oxidized.

The oxidation state of oxygen is zero when in molecular oxygen and -2 when in water. Therefore, the oxidation state decreases, indicating oxidation is reduced.

Fe₂O₃+2Al⟶Al₂O₃+2Fe

The oxidation state of Fe in Fe₂O₃ is +3, switching to zero in Fe, so iron is reduced.

Aluminum's oxidation state is zero in Al, rising to +3 in Al₂O₃, indicating it is oxidized.

A sample of oxygen gas was found to effuse at a rate equal to two times that of an unknown gas. what is the molar mass (in g/mol
Anarel [2728]
<span>128 g/mol Applying Graham's law of effusion, we can utilize the formula: r1/r2 = sqrt(m2/m1) where r1 = effusion rate of gas 1 r2 = effusion rate of gas 2 m1 = molar mass of gas 1 m2 = molar mass of gas 2 Given that the atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999, the molar mass of O2 = 2 * 15.999 = 31.998. We can now insert the known values into Graham's equation to find m2. r1/r2 = sqrt(m2/m1) 2/1 = sqrt(m2/31.998) 4/1 = m2/31.998 Thus, we find m2 to be 127.992. Rounding to three significant figures yields 128 g/mol</span>
