    Chemistry: Post your doubts here!

    They're saying that the compound reacts with Na to give a 3+ charged ion. Only OH and CO2H react with Na to give a 1+ charged ion, so there must be 3 functional groups, either CO2H or OH. When NaOH reacts, a compound with a 1+ charge is produced by CO2H only, not OH. That means there is only ONE...

    I don't know how to explain it further. What part don't you understand? I'll explain from there. Ethyl propanoate is an ester and will get hydrolysed by NaOH. It'll give the sodium salt of the carboxylic acid and the alcohol. Find the molecular masses of those and then calculate the % by mass.

    The functional groups that react with Na are CO2H and OH, so three of any of these should be present in the compound. B and D are ruled out. NaOH will react with CO2H, so there should be 1 CO2H and 2 OH groups.

    16. This is something you have to memorise. Cl2 + cold, dilute NaOH will give a ClO- ion (oxidation state = +3) and Cl2 + hot, concentrated NaOH will give a ClO3- ion (oxidation state = +5). 20. Find the molecular masses of the products of propyl propanoate. The find the % by mass of each...

    11. They're asking why hydrazine doesn't burn SPONTANEOUSLY. Meaning, all by itself. Any reaction that isn't spontaneous is because it needs a large amount of energy for the reaction to start. 36. NaCl is a neutral salt, so the solution it gives will have a pH value of 7. MgCl2 is very slightly...

    وعليكم السلام 7 and 11: Draw ICE charts, i.e. initial moles, change in moles and equilibrium moles, for ALL the options (A, B, C and D). Then see which one has x + 2/x for its final moles. For example, 7 D: We divide the equilibrium moles by 2 because the question says that the final moles of R...
