(a)
Interpretation: Formula of binary compound carbon dioxide is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The element which is relatively more electropositive of the two elements is written first followed by the element with a negative oxidation state. Prefixes such as di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. are used in cases where nonmetals form more than one binary compound.

Answer to Problem 27A
The formula of the compound is CO2.
Explanation of Solution
Carbon is more electropositive than oxygen. So it is written first in the formula. Also, one atom of carbon combines with two oxygen atoms as a result of which formula becomes CO2.

Concept Introduction: The element which is relatively more electropositive of the two elements is written first followed by the element with a negative oxidation state. Prefixes such as di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. are used in cases where nonmetals form more than one binary compound.
(b)
Answer to Problem 27A
The formula of the compound is SO2.
Explanation of Solution
Sulfur is more electropositive than oxygen. So it is written first in the formula. Also, one atom of sulfur combines with two oxygen atoms as a result of which formula becomes SO2.
(c)
Interpretation: Formula of binary compound dinitrogen tetrachloride is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The element which is relatively more electropositive of the two elements is written first followed by the element with a negative oxidation state. Prefixes such as di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. are used in cases where nonmetals form more than one binary compound.
(c)
Answer to Problem 27A
The formula of the compound is N2Cl4.
Explanation of Solution
Nitrogen is more electropositive than oxygen. So it is written first in the formula. Also, two atoms of nitrogen combine with four chlorine atoms as a result of which formula becomes N2Cl4.
(d)
Interpretation: Formula of binary compound carbon tetraiodide is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The element which is relatively more electropositive of the two elements is written first followed by the element with a negative oxidation state. Prefixes such as di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. are used in cases where nonmetals form more than one binary compound.
(d)
Answer to Problem 27A
The formula of the compound is CI4.
Explanation of Solution
Carbon is more electropositive than oxygen. So it is written first in the formula. Also, one atom of carbon combines with four iodine atoms as a result of which formula becomes CI4.
(e)
Interpretation: Formula of binary compound phosphorus pentafluoride is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The element which is relatively more electropositive of the two elements is written first followed by the element with a negative oxidation state. Prefixes such as di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. are used in cases where nonmetals form more than one binary compound.
(e)
Answer to Problem 27A
The formula of the compound is PF5.
Explanation of Solution
Phosphorus is more electropositive than fluorine. So it is written first in the formula. Also, one atom of phosphorus combines with five fluorine atoms as a result of which formula becomes PF5.
(f)
Interpretation: Formula of binary compound diphosphorus pentaoxide is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The element which is relatively more electropositive of the two elements is written first followed by the element with a negative oxidation state. Prefixes such as di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. are used in cases where nonmetals form more than one binary compound.
(f)
Answer to Problem 27A
The formula of the compound is P2O5.
Explanation of Solution
Phosphorus is more electropositive than oxygen. So it is written first in the formula. Also, two atoms of phosphorus combine with five oxygen atoms as a result of which formula becomes P2O5.

- 5. A solution of sucrose is fermented in a vessel until the evolution of CO2 ceases. Then, the product solution is analyzed and found to contain, 45% ethanol; 5% acetic acid; and 15% glycerin by weight. If the original charge is 500 kg, evaluate; e. The ratio of sucrose to water in the original charge (wt/wt). f. Moles of CO2 evolved. g. Maximum possible amount of ethanol that could be formed. h. Conversion efficiency. i. Per cent excess of excess reactant.

- Hi!! Please provide a solution that is handwritten. Ensure all figures, reaction mechanisms (with arrows and lone pairs please!!), and structures are clearly drawn to illustrate the synthesis of the product as per the standards of a third year organic chemistry course. ****the solution must include all steps, mechanisms, and intermediate structures as required. Please hand-draw the mechanisms and structures to support your explanation. Don’t give me AI-generated diagrams or text-based explanations, no wordy explanations on how to draw the structures I need help with the exact mechanism hand drawn by you!!! I am reposting this—ensure all parts of the question are straightforward and clear or please let another expert handle it thanks!!arrow_forwardHi!! Please provide a solution that is handwritten.

- Which carbocation is more stable?arrow_forwardAre the products of the given reaction correct? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?arrow_forward
