I'm into mixology, and lately I've been looking into experimenting with home-made tonic water, by extracting quinine (quinine salts) from cinchona barks in an acidic aqueous solution. I've read a bit about the potential dangers of quinine overdose, so I want to make sure I know how much the amoun...
I'm asked which one of the alkane has the lowest heat of combustion (note: they question says heat, not enthalpy) and according to the answers, the right one is d.
I'm trying to understand why d is the right answer but with no success.
Please help me understand the concept behind it for fu...
I searched on Wikipedia for reactivity series but it showed me Caesium as the most reactive metal. I know and have studied that reactivity increases as we go down the first group. Then shouldn’t it be Francium more reactive than Caesium than the other way around.
PS: I study in class 10 so plea...
Difficult to know for certain which field this is. According to what I can discover about it, the big bang explodes into being as white hot hydrogen gas, millions of degrees hot.
I'm okay with that my question is what colour would it fade to as it cools down? Is there a spectrum I can refer that...
I first signed up for SE with my google account. However, My google profile picture never properly transferred to SE, and I currently have a blank profile picture. Upon trying to upload my own profile picture, it appears to work until I reload the page and it says my profile picture is still set ...
We know that $\ce{H2O2}$ boils at $150.2^\circ \pu{C}$. But since $\ce{H2O2}$ is thermodynamically unstable, it gradually decomposes to $\ce{H2O + 1/2 O2}$ and this decomposition increases fairly with temperature. So, how we actually measure the boiling point of $\ce{H2O2}$?
Consider the compound $\ce{Alkyl-(4 oxocyclopent-2-ene)carboxylate (A)}$.
Now consider the operations:
$\ce{1. (A) + (i)BH3/THF (ii) H+}$
$\ce{2. (A) + H2/Pt}$
$\ce{3. (A) + H2/Pd-C}$
Products
In $1.$ ester group reduced to an alcohol.
In $2.$ double bond reduc...
So I had a question about non polar molecules that have symmetrical dipole vectors.
Let's take CO2 as an example. Each of the $\ce{C=O}$ bonds are pulling in the opposite way. My teacher says that this causes all atoms in $\ce{CO2}$ to be equally charged as there must be no net 'force'.
