Recall from Chapter 12.6 that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) catalyze the decomposition of ozone in the stratosphere. Infrared light is absorbed by CFCs while visible light is transmitted. Ultraviolet light can break the bonds in these molecules. Answer the following questions about CFCs. A) Draw the three-dimensional structure of trichlorofluoromethane, CC13F. B) How will CFCs interact with solar radiation in the troposphere? C) How will CFCs interact with solar radiation in the stratosphere?

Which of the following statements is false regarding aromaticity? a. the compound must be cyclic b. the compound must be fully conjugated c. the compound must be planar d.the number of electrons in the pi system must satisfy the hückel 4n+2 rule e. the compound must have a neutral charge

Why do scientists look for patterns in the world? a. patterns can explain observations. b. patterns never change, no matter what. c. patterns are easy for scientists to detect. d. patterns are all the same, through all time.

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)
