    i) mass of kerosene used = 8195 x 10.8 = 88506 kg = 88.506 tonnes ii) Form the equation for complete combustion of kerosene C14H30 + 21.5O2 --> 14CO2 + 15H2O Hint: to save time, a balanced equation is not required, as it can be observed that 1 mole of C14H30 produces 14 moles of CO2 Moles of...

    A <--> B One way to think of it is that at higher temperatures, A and B both experience an increase in energies. So a larger portion of A is able to overcome the activation energy of the forward reaction to form B. At the same time, a larger portion of B is able to overcome the activation...

    This is an instance where there could be confusion between the limited "school definition" and the wider scientific definition. H-bond donor : H attached to N, O, F H-bond acceptor: highly electronegative atom with partial negative charge N, O, F In this case, we do have H-bonding. H-bond...

    Nicely done diagrams and explanation. :) I'll just like to add on that the 2nd product of the 3 compound would eventually be oxidized to HOOCCOOH and then to CO2.

    Based on my interactions with students in the academic forums, I have compiled a set of 20 calculation questions (some sample shown below) from past year papers that they often require help with. It is not surprising to find similar questions being repeated throughout the years, as such...

    Theoretically, one way would be to hydrolyze them with NaOH to form primary secondary and tertiary alcohols and then attempt to oxidize them with KMno4 1) tertiary would not be oxidized (no decolorization of KMnO4) 2) Primary would be oxidized to acid, secondary would be oxidized to ketone...

    Based on 1st equation, 1 mole of NaN3 produces 1 mole of Na and 1.5 moles of N2. Based on the 2nd equation, the 1 mole of Na produced in the 1st reaction will then produce another 0.1 mol of N2.

    Should be B. The chiral carbon is the rightmost carbon on that molecule. And when viewed individually, none of the C=C carbons are holding two identical groups. ( although this seems to be more correctly known as E/Z isomers rather than cis trans)

    The cold dilute KMnO4 adds 2 OH across the C=C bonds, the original OH on the bottom not oxidised to a ketone as it is not heated. So there will be 3 OH in the product. The hot KMnO4 cleaves the C=C bonds, you have only the bottom and 3rd from bottom rings with 6 carbons.

    You need to subtract 1 isomer in this question as its a symmetrical molecule. The cis-trans and trans- cis are identical.

    In this case, we divide equally because the question gives us the information that "a single product was obtained after oxidizing." We don't assume that we divide equally for all other questions unless the clues tells us so. As for your example of 5 carbons, there is no way to obtain a single...
