When researchers cool a gas, which of the following has occurred? Select all that apply.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer is: Velocity and spacing of particles is reduced and Volume of substance decreases relative to temperature decrease.

Charles' Law (The Temperature-Volume Law) - the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂.

When temperature goes down, the volume also goes down.

Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion, it is a physical vector quantity. Less enegry (lower temperature), lower the velocity.

P-fluoroanisole reacts with sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid. Draw the major product of this substitution reaction; if applicab

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: (Structure attached).

Explanation:

This type of reaction is an aromatic electrophilic substitution. The overall reaction is the replacement of a proton (H +) with an electrophile (E +) in the aromatic ring.

The aromatic ring in p-fluoroanisole has two sustituents, an halogen and a methoxy group, which are ortho-para directing substituents.

Aryl sulfonic acids are easily synthesized by an electrophilic substitution reaction aromatic using sulfur trioxide as an electrophile (very reactive).

The reaction occurs in three steps:

The attack on the electrophile forms the sigma complex.
The loss of a proton regenerates an aromatic ring.
The sulfonate group can be protonated in the presence of a strong acid (H₂SO₄).

Normally, a mixture of ortho-para substituted products would be obtained. However, since both para positions are occupied, only the ortho substituted product is obtained here.
