Organic Chemistry deals mostly with carbon and hydrogens, also called hydrocarbons, but those groups which replace hydrogen and bonds with carbon to give a characteristic nature, unique of their own, to the hydrocarbon they are attached to, are called fu…

Characteristics Of Functional Groups

In organic chemistry, we encounter a number of special substituent groups which are attached to the hydrocarbon backbone. These groups impart certain characteristics to the molecule of which it is a part of and thus, become the highlight of that particul…

IUPAC Nomenclature

In Chemistry, IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry which suggested a systematic naming approach for the organic and inorganic compounds, as in the beginning stage of nomenclature one single chemical compound was named in man…

2010. Suppose that a 10 kg mass of iron at 20 C is dropped from a heigh of 100 meters. What is the kinetics energy of the mass just before it hits the ground, assuming no air resistance? What is its speed? What would be the final temperature of the mass if all the kinetic energy at impact is transformed into internal energy? The molar heat capacity of iron is Cpp = 25.1J mol-¹ K-1 and the gravitational acceleration constant is 9.8 m s¯² |
