(a)
Interpretation: The electron dot structures for ethanol, ethylamine, acetonitrile, and acrylonitrile have to be drawn, molecular geometry around the central atom in these molecules should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lewis dot structure: For a given molecule, the bonding concerning the atoms and also the lone pairs can be shown by a diagram.
In this structure a single bond is represented by one dot pair and double bond is represented by two dot pairs and so on.
VSEPR Theory [Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory]:
Geometry of the molecules can be predicted using VSEPR Theory. It is based on the number of electron pairs around the central atom of the molecule. Depending upon the bond pairs and lone pairs, geometries can be classified as linear, bent, pyramidal, and trigonal planar, tetrahedral, and octahedral and so on.

Concept introduction:
- For
chemical reaction balanced chemical reaction equation written in accordance with the Law of conservation of mass. - Law of conservation of mass states that for a reaction total mass of the reactant and product must be equal.
- Stoichiometric factor is a relationship between reactant and product which is obtained from the balanced chemical equation for a particular reaction.

- Chlorodifluoromethane (CHF2Cl) was widely used in the compression/cooling circuits of refrigeration or air-conditioning systems. Since the discovery that such compounds (HCFCs and CFC's) released into the atmosphere were a major cause of depletion of stratospheric ozone, newer refrigeration systems make use of certain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are degraded in the lower atmosphere, instead. Often, mixtures of such compounds are used. Suppose a sample of refrigerant gas consisting of a simple mixture of the gases pentafluoroethane (C2HF5) and 111-trifluoroethane (C2H3F3) has a density of 2.39 g/L at 23 °C and 0.593 atm. 1. Calculate the average molecular mass for this sample. 2. Calculate the volume percentage of C2H3F3 in the sample.arrow_forwardChlorodifluoromethane (CHF2Cl) was widely used in the compression/cooling circuits of refrigeration or air-conditioning systems.

- A coffee-cup (constant pressure) calorimeter is used to carry out the following reaction in 63.5 mL water (where X is a hypothetical metal): X + 2 HCl → XCl2 + H2 In this process, the water temperature rose from 25.0 °C to 34.1 °C. If 0.00618 mol of "X" was consumed during the reaction, what is ΔrH of this reaction in kJ mol-1 with respect to "X"?

- 1)The production of authentic tequila is restricted to the blue agave and a defined geographical area in west-central Mexico. Two basic categories of tequila can be distinguished: “100% agave” and “mixed” tequila. High-quality “100% agave” tequila uses pure agave juice for fermentation and Mexican law states that these authentic tequilas must be bottled in Mexico. A mixed tequila is manufactured by adding up to 49% (w/v) of sugar from sugar cane for fermentation. The low-quality tequila is usually shipped in bulk containers for diluting and bottling in the importing countries. Due to frequent fraud in the labeled quality of tequila, there is a need to verify the authenticity of a tequila using chemical analysis. Figure 1 shows an ion chromatogram for an authentic 100% agave tequila and a commercial mixed tequila. The difference in anion content is due to the different sources of water used in final dilution and bottling steps. a) In reversed-phase liquid chromatography, a…arrow_forwardDodecane C12H26 is burned at constant pressure with 150% excess air. What is the air-fuel for this process.arrow_forwardIn the laboratory, a student was tasked to prepare a stock solution of HCl for titration. The available analytical grade HCl solution in the stock room was labelled 35% w/v HCl. The student proceeded to prepare the stock solution by mixing 10mL of the HCl solution with 490mL of analytical grade water. Then, the solution was further diluted by adding 5mL, since the total volume of the solution did not reach the 500mL etched mark on the volumetric flask. To prepare the titrant, the student mixed 10mL of the stock solution, then added 40mL of analytical grade water. The titrant was subsequently used to determine the concentration of two titrand. *Use the table as a reference 1.

The ash formed was extracted with acid and the acid extract was heated with BaCl2 solution and a precipitate of BaSO4 was obtained. The precipitate was filtered, dried and weighed. The weight of precipitate was found to be 0.01 g.
