Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To determine if all organic compounds contain one or more atoms of carbon or not.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
Answer to Problem 10.7P
One or more carbon atoms are present in all the organic compound. Thus, the statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
The carbon can form strong bonds with other atoms in an organic compound. The organic compounds are chemical compounds for the living things and they have the carbon atoms. These carbon atoms form a bond that are strong and can link with four atoms of other molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
To determine if the majority of organic compounds are built from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
Answer to Problem 10.7P
The majority of all the organic compounds are formed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Thus, the statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
The carbon atom can form string bond which are stable with the other atoms of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. The carbon present in all the organic compounds form a strong stable bond with the atoms of nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.
(c)
Interpretation:
To determine if the carbon atom is abundant in earth’s crust.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
Answer to Problem 10.7P
The carbon atom is not the abundant element present in earth’s crust. Thus, the statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
The carbon is present in the atmosphere widely in the form of carbon dioxide but in the earth’s crust it is only of 0.18%.
The carbon is present in the nature only as a combined element and in the earth’s crust it is only in minimum amount when compared to silicon and oxygen.
(d)
Interpretation:
To determine if the organic compounds are soluble in water.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
Answer to Problem 10.7P
Most of the organic compounds are insoluble in water. Thus, the statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
Most of the organic compounds are insoluble in water as these compounds are non-polar on nature. The organic compounds are non-polar, and water is a polar solvent.

- In intercalation compounds, their sheets can be neutral or have a negative or positive charge, depending on the nature of the incorporated species and its structure. Is this statement correct?arrow_forwardThis thermodynamic cycle describes the formation of an ionic compound MX2 from a metal element M and nonmetal element X in their standard states. What is the lattice enthalpy of MX2 ? What is the enthalpy formation of MX2 ? Suppose both the heat of sublimation of M and the ionization enthalpy of M were smaller. Would MX2 be more stable? Or less? or impossible to tell without more information?arrow_forward7. Draw the mechanism to describe the following transformation: Note: This is a base catalyzed reaction.

QUESTION Liquid A is known to have a lower viscosity and lower surface tension than Liquid B. Use these facts to predict the result of each experiment in the table below, if you can. experiment Liquid A and Liquid B are each pumped through tubes with an inside diameter of 27.0 mm, and the pressures PA and PB needed to produce a steady flow of 2.4 mL/s are measured. 25.0 mL of Liquid A are poured into a beaker, and 25.0 mL of Liquid B are poured into an identical beaker. Stirrers in each beaker are connected to motors, and the forces FA and FB needed to stir each liquid at a constant rate are measured. predicted outcome OPA will be greater than PB OPA will be less than PB OPA will be equal to PB It's impossible to predict whether PA or PB will be greater without more information.…arrow_forward
