Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:Correct molecular formula of barium oxide should be given.
Concept introduction:In the molecular formula, the exact number and type of constituent atoms are shown. Type of constituent atoms is represented by their atomic symbols and the number of each constituent atom is represented by the right subscript of its atomic symbol. The number of each constituent in a molecule depends on its valency. The valency of an element is calculated from its electronic configuration, that is how many electrons it can lose or gain to attain a stable electronic configuration.

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
