Chemistry Questions and Answers

An alkene is produced when dehydration of alcohol is performed. Alcohol dehydration is an example of an elimination reaction which is quite the opposite of substitution reaction and addition reaction.

The products of the dehydration of a primary alkanol are water and an alk-1-ene (1-alkene).

Butanol gives a mixture of but-1-ene and but-2-ene when dehydrated.

In the majority of power plants, sulfur appears due to coal burning which is used to generate electricity.

The enthalpy change of neutralisation involving weak acids are smaller in magnitude compared to that between strong acids and strong bases. This is because weak acids/bases are partially dissociated, which means not all hydrogen ions are free to react with hydroxide ions.

 For strong acids and bases, the enthalpy of neutralisation values are always closely similar with the values -57 and -58 KJ/mol. We know that strong acids completely ionize in water. In case of weak acids, only partial dissociation of its ions occurs.

Charles' law is a special case of the ideal gas law in which the pressure of a gas is constant.

Charles's law defines the direct relationship between temperature and volume.

GIVEN DATA: V\(_1\) = 29.5cm\(^3\),  V\(_2\) = ? ,  T\(_1\) = 0ºc or 273k,  T\(_2\) = 15ºc or 288k

\(\frac{V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{V_2}{T_2}\)

V\(_2\) = \(\frac{V_1 x T_2}{T_1}\) → \(\frac{29.5 x 288}{273}\)

V\(_2\) = 31.1cm\(^3\)

NaH is a saline (salt-like) hydride, composed of Na+ and H− ions
