Question
Chapter 2, Problem 115CWP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The molecular formula for the given compounds has to be stated
Concept introduction:
The chemical formula of compounds is determined by using the following rules,
- The symbol for the first element present in the name is written first.
- The prefix assigned to the first element determines the atoms of the first element. If no prefix is present, only one atom of the element is present.
- The symbol for the second element is written.
- The prefix assigned to the second element determines the atoms of the second element. If no prefix is present, only one atom of the element is present.
- The two symbols are written together.

- Of the following choices, which is the best reason that most materials DON'T spontaneously combust even though our atmosphere is about 21% oxygen? Group of answer choices The reduction of O2 in the gas phase (O2 + e− → O2−) is spontaneous. The reduction of O2 in acid solution (O2 + H+ + e− → HO2(aq)) is spontaneous. O2 is not a reactant in combustion. The O2 bond dissociation energy is 494 kJ/mol, leading to a high activation energy for combustion.arrow_forwardplease answer in the scope of the SCH4U course, I am having a hard time understanding, may you show all steps please and thank you! can you also put the final answers in the table so its understandablearrow_forwardPlan the synthesis of the following compound using the starting material provided and any other reagents needed as long as carbon based reagents have 3 carbons or less.
