Why is KNO3 and CCL4 not miscible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

KNO3 is potassium nitrate. It is an IONIC compound which dissolved in water.

CCl4 is tetrachloromethane, it is a COVALENT compound, which is misxible in organic solvents.

Is CCL4 hydrocarbon and organic componud?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes!!! Because it contains CARBOB . All organic chemistry is based on carbon compounds.

CCl4 is 'Tetrachloromethan' ( archaically 'Crbon tetrachloride).

It is methane (CH4) with the four hydrogens substituted with chlorine.

How do you draw the isomers of C5H11OH?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can have the alcohol functional group (-OH) on the end of the chain or or it can be on any carbon in the chain .

e.g.

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ( pentan-1-ol)

CH3CH2CH2CH(OH)CH3 ( pentan-2-ol)

CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2CH3 ( pentan-3-ol)

What is the first member of the alkene family?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ethene means it has two carbon atoms in it.but we know,alkene must contain double bond at least for once somewhere in the carbon chain.But hydrogen atoms dont form double bonds.so methene can't be the 1st member bcoz it can't formdouble bonds as there is no other carbon and only hydrogn atoms.so,ethene is the 1st member where it can form one carbon carbon doble bond with the two carbon atoms present.and there is no such thing as methene,i suppose.....

Is methane organic or inorgaic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

DEFINITELY Organic. because it contains carbon(C) as CH4 .

Remember in chemistry

#1 ; ORGANIC is the chemistry of CARBON compounds

#2 ; INORGANIC is the chemistry of all other non-carbon containing compounds.

#3 ; PHYSICAL the chemistry of energy , calculations, stoichiometry, reaction equations.

What are the exceptions for classifying organic compounds?

User Avatar

Asked by Bluebabies123

the exceptions of organic compounds are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, and thyocyanates, which are considered inorganic.

Is carbohydrate aromatic or aliphatic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All the carbohydrates are aliphatic compounds.

In a molecule of methane carbon (having four valence electrons) binds to four hydrogen atoms. How many lone pairs of electrons will be represented in the Lewis structure of methane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NONE!!! Each bonding electron in carbon is paired with the bonding electron in each of the four hydrogens. So there are no lone pairs.

Why sodium metal cannotbe used for drying alcohols?

Is cyclohexane and alkane or alkene?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cyclohexane is a six-carbon cyclic compound with the formula C6H12. In its planar representation, it looks like a regular hexagon, but in its 3D representation, it takes on either a chair or boat conformation. It has many uses in organic and analytical chemistry.

What causes a grain silo explosion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Too much grain dust.

A spark in grain dust will create a 'flash'. There by an explosion.

In coal mines, miners referred to 'fire damp' . This is a mixture of very fine coal dust particles, methane and oxygen. A spark across it would cause a big explosion.

Miners tested for 'fire damp' using canaries (birds). Canaries are very sensative to atmospheric changes. In a coal mine if 'fire damp' is prersent the canary would possibly faint and fall off its perch, until restored to clean oxygen(air).

Have you ever seen the 'custard tin' explosion. The very fine particles of custard powder, could be ignited and blow the lid off the tin.

What is the IUPAC name of CH3-CH--CH-CHO?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

'But-2-enal'

Reason

#1 it has the aldehyde functional group at the end of the chain (R- CHO)

#2 it has a double carbon-carbon bond on carbon no. 2. Hence the '-en al ' in the spelling as it is an alkene too!!!!!

What is propyl methanoate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Propyl methanoate forms, when propan-1-ol is refluxed with methanoic acid (formic acid). Methanoic acid is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis, and can be found in the venom of bee stings. The chemical equation for this reaction is as follows: CH3CH2CH2OH + HCOOH --> CH3CH2CH2-O-HCO CH3CH2CH2 = propyl group -O-HCO = methanoate group
