Answer to Problem 2.54QA

Solution:

(a) CH4: The number of hydrogen atoms is 4.

(b) C3H8: The number of hydrogen atoms is 8.

(c) C6H6: The number of hydrogen atoms is 6.

(d) C6H12O6: The number of hydrogen atoms is 12.

Explanation of Solution

Avogadro’s number is equal to 6.022*1023 atoms or molecules.

1 mole = 6.022*1023 molecules.

a) CH4 Here we can use Avogadro’s number as a conversion factor to calculate number of hydrogen atoms in 1 molecule of CH4.

1 molecule CH4 × 1 mole CH46.023×1023 molecule ×4 mole H1 mole CH4×6.023×1023H atoms 1 mole H= 4 atoms of hydrogen

(b)  C3H8 - Here we can use Avogadro’s number as a conversion factor to calculate number of hydrogen atoms in 1 molecule of C3H8.

1 molecule C3H8 × 1 mole C3H86.023×1023 molecule ×8 mole H1 mole C3H8×6.023×1023H atoms 1 mole H= 8 atoms of hydrogen

(c) C6H6 - Here we can use Avogadro’s number as a conversion factor to calculate number of hydrogen atoms in 1 molecule of C6H6.

1 molecule C6H6 × 1 mole C6H66.023×1023 molecule ×6 mole H1 mole C6H6×6.023×1023H atoms 1 mole H= 6 atoms of hydrogen

(d) C6H12O6 - Here we can use Avogadro’s number as a conversion factor to calculate number of hydrogen atoms in 1 molecule of C6H12O6.

1 molecule C6H12O6 × 1 mole C6H12O66.023×1023 molecule ×12 mole H1 mole C6H12O6×6.023×1023H atoms 1 mole H= 12 atoms of hydrogen

Conclusion:

The number of hydrogen atoms can be calculated by using Avogadro’s number.

Show the curved arrow mechanism and both products for the reaction between methyl iodide and propoxide. 1st attempt NV H 10: H H 1 Add the missing curved arrow notation. H + See Periodic Table
First I wanted to see if you would mind checking my graphs behind me. (They haven't been coming out right)? Second, could you help me explain if the rate of reaction is proportional to iodide and persulfate of each graph. I highlighted my answer and understanding but I'm not sure if I'm on the right track. Thank you in advance.
