Question 48 Strigol is an important plant hormone that is released by crops such as rice and sugarcane. Unfortunately for these plants, strigol also activates the germination of any nearby witchweed seeds, resulting in the destruction of the crops by the parasitic weed. Strigol has nineteen carbon atoms. Determine the HDI of strigol, as well as its molecular formula. Strigol has four rings and five double bonds, for a total hydrogen deficiency index of . If saturated, a compound with 19 carbon atoms would have hydrogen atoms, but an HDI of means that hydrogen atoms are missing. So there must be hydrogen atoms in the formula. Inspection of the structure also reveals oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula of strigol must be C H O .

7. using your knowledge of colligative properties explain whether sodium chloride or calcium chloride would be a more effective substance to melt the ice on a slick sidewalk. use 3 – 4 sentences in your explanation. 8. when a 2.5 mol of sugar (c12h22o11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 celsius degree. if 2.5 mol of aluminum nitrate is added to the same amount of water, by how much will the boiling point be changed? show all calculations leading to your answer or use 3 – 4 sentences to explain your answer. 9. if 5.40 kcal of heat is added to 1.00 kg of water at 100⁰c, how much steam at 100⁰c is produced? show all calculations leading to an answer. 10. the freezing of water at 0⁰c can be represented as follows: h2o (l) ↔ h2o(s) the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3. the density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3. in 3 – 4 sentences explain why applying pressure causes ice to melt.

For the reaction shown, calculate how many moles of no2 form when each of the following completely reacts. 2n2o5(g)→4no2(g)+o2(g) part a 1.0 mol n2o5 express your answer using two significant figures. nothing mol m o l request answer part b 5.4 mol n2o5 express your answer using two significant figures.
