i. The given compound X is 2-methyl pent-2-ene. When it is reacted with ozone it forms an ozonide in the first step. In the second step the reduce to forms acetone and propanal.

ii. The structural formula of Y is CH_3-CO-CH_3 and Z is CH_3-CH_2-CHO.

iii. Alkenes, upon catalytic hydrogenation, form alkanes. This will occur in the presence of Nickel as the catalyst.

iv. The process of ozonolysis is useful in the field of pharmaceutics.

v. The test of unsaturation can be performed by passing a compound through Bromine water.

<h3>What is ozonolysis?</h3>

Ozonolysis is a reaction used in organic chemistry to determine the position of a carbon-carbon double bond in unsaturated compounds.

i. The given alkene X, that is subject to ozonolysis would be 2-methyl-2-pentene. Upon exposure to ozone, an ozonide is initially formed, after which it is broken down into 2 products - acetone and propanal, both with the molecular formula C₃H₆O.

The given compound X is 2-methyl pent-2-ene. When it is reacted with ozone it forms an ozonide in the first step. In the second step the reduce to forms acetone and propanal.

ii. The formulas of Y is CH_3-CO-CH_3 and Z is CH_3-CH_2-CHO. They are functional isomers as they have the same molecular formula but different functional groups - ketone and aldehyde.

iii. When alkenes undergo catalytic hydrogenation, they form alkanes, X will form 2 methyl petane on reaction with hydrogen gas in presence of Ni.

iv. The ozonolysis is used for the industrial-scale synthesis of pharmaceuticals.

v. The unsaturation of compound X can be proved by the bromine water test. As on reaction with it, the brown colour of bromine water becomes colourless due to the formation of dibromo alkane.

An exponent of "2" means that if we double the concentration of the reactant the rate doubles as well Exponents in rate laws are
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

- False.

- False.

- True.

- True.

Explanation:

Hello, for each statement we state:

- An exponent of "2" means that if we double the concentration of the reactant the rate doubles as well.

FALSE because considering a rate law like:

-r=kC^2

The exponent of "2" powers the concentration to the second power, not doubles the rate law, thus, if C is 3, for k=1, r will be -9. On the other hand if the rate is like:

-r=kC

The rate will be -3, that is why the rate is not doubled when the "2" in concentration is present.

- Exponents in rate laws are based on the coefficients from the balanced equation.

FALSE because for nonelemental chemical reactions, the exponents do not match with each species' stoichiometric coefficients in the rate law.

- The rate constant, k, takes into account the effect of activation energy and temperature on the reaction.

TRUE, since the Arrhenius equation allows us to prove the effect of the activation energy and the temperature:

k=Aexp(-\frac{Ea}{RT})

- Differential rate laws allow us to compare concentration and time.

TRUE as they are given like:

\frac{1}{\nu _A} \frac{dC_A}{dt} =\frac{1}{\nu _B} \frac{dC_B}{dt} =...

Best regards.

What is the pH of 15 mL of .2 M HCl
fenix001 [56]
Easy peasy! All we need to do is plug this formula into our calculator:

-log(M)

So, we'd plug in -log(.2), which is 0.7 :)

Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [Cl2]. If the rate of Cl2 loss is 4.44 × 1
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

8.88 x 10⁻² M/s

Explanation:

The rate  of reaction for:

                    NO(g) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒  2NOCl(g)

is rate = -ΔNO/Δt = -ΔCl2/Δt = 1/2 ΔNOCl/Δt

so  ΔNOCl/Δt = 2 ΔCl2/Δt  = 2  x 4.44 × 10⁻²  M/s = 8.88 x 10⁻² M/s

In general given a reaction

                            aA + bB ⇒ cC + dD

rate = -1/a ΔA/Δt = -1/b ΔB/Δt = 1/c ΔC/Δt = 1/d ΔD/Δt

Which of the following substances has the highest melting point?
Aleksandr [31]

Nonane (b) has the highest melting point.

-----------------------------

A caveat: I'm assuming that we're dealing with the straight-chain isomers of these alkanes (specifically pentane and nonane). The straight-chain isomer of pentane (<em>n</em>-pentane, CH3-[CH2]3-CH3) has a melting point of -129.8 °C; the straight-chain isomer of nonane (<em>n-</em>nonane, CH3-[CH2]7-CH3) has a melting point of -53.5 °C. The pattern holds as you go down (or up): The more carbon atoms, the higher the melting point. So, in decreasing order of melting points here, you'd have the following: nonane > pentane > butane > ethane.

However, one structural isomer of pentane, neopentane, has a melting point of -16.4 °C, which is <em>higher </em>that the melting point of <em>n</em>-nonane despite neopentane having the same molecular formula as its straight-chain isomer. Of course, you're not to blame for coming up with this question; this is just some extra info to keep in mind.
