Why does the dehydration of an alcohol more often use concentrated sulfuric acid, H 2 S O 4 HX2SOX4, as the acid catalyst rather than dilute hydrochloric acid, H C l HCl

The alkali metals (group 1) consist of lithium (3), sodium (11), potassium (19), rubidium (37), cesium (55), and francium (87). they are soft, metallic solids with low densities and low melting points. based on the data shown in figure 1, how many valence electrons do alkali metals share?

Which radioisotope is used to date fossils? a. oxygen-16 b. carbon-14 c. uranium-238 d. carbon-12

Imagine if during the cathode ray experiment, the size of the particles of the ray was the same as the size of the atom forming the cathode. which other model or scientific observation would have also been supported? 1. this would support dalton's postulates that proposed the atoms are indivisible because no small particles are involved. 2. this would support bohr's prediction about electrons moving in orbits having specific energy. 3. this would support bohr's prediction about electrons being randomly scattered around the nucleus in the atom. 4. this would support dalton's postulates that proposed that atoms combine in fixed whole number ratios to form compounds.
