4. When benzene reacts with 1-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane (neopentyl chloride) in the presence of aluminum chloride, the major pr

oduct is 2-methyl-2-phenylbutane, not 2,2-dimethyl-1- phenylpropane (neopentylbenzene). Explain this result

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, we have a <u>Friedel-Craft reaction</u> (see figure 1). Usually in this type of reaction, the benzene ring is <u>bonded directly to the carbon that has the halide atom</u>. But in this specific case, this is not happening.

To understand why we have to remember the reaction mechanism of this reaction. As first, step the Cl-C bond attacks the AlCl_3 and we form a new bond between the alkyl halide and the AlCl_3, finally the C-Cl bond is broken and a <u>carbocation is formed</u>. In this case, we will have a primary carbocation, a very <u>unstable species</u>. Therefore we will have a <u>methyl shift</u> to obtain a tertiary carbocation.

This tertiary carbocation will react with and continues the reaction. (See figure 2)

I hope it helps!

Determine the pH at the point in the titration of 40.0 mL of 0.200 M H₂NNH₂ with 0.100 M HNO₃ after 100.0 mL of the strong acid
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

pH = 1.85

Explanation:

The reaction of H₂NNH₂ with HNO₃ is::

H₂NNH₂ + HNO₃ → H₂NNH₃⁺ + NO₃⁻

Moles of H₂NNH₂ and HNO₃ are:

H₂NNH₂: 0.0400L ₓ (0.200mol / L) = 8.00x10⁻³ moles of H₂NNH₂

HNO₃: 0.1000L ₓ (0.100mol / L) = 0.01 moles of HNO₃

As moles of HNO₃ > moles of H₂NNH₂, all H₂NNH₂ will react producing H₂NNH₃⁺, but you will have an excess of HNO₃ (Strong acid).

Moles of HNO₃ in excess are:

0.01 mol - 8.00x10⁻³ moles = 2.00x10⁻³ moles of HNO₃ = moles of H⁺

Total volume is 100.0mL + 40.0mL = 140.0mL = 0.1400L.

Thus, [H⁺] is:

[H⁺] = 2.00x10⁻³ moles / 0.1400L = 0.0143M

As pH = - log [H⁺]

<h3>pH = 1.85 </h3>

If we have equal masses of copper at 80oC and water at 20oC and we put them together, what is the final temperature?
Ket [755]

Answer:

The final temperature will be close to 20°C

Explanation:

First of all, the resulting temperature of the mix can't be higher than the hot substance's (80°C) or lower than the cold one's (20°C). So options d) and e) are imposible.

Now, due to the high heat capacity of water (4,1813 J/mol*K) it can absorb a huge amount of heat without having a great increment in its temperature. On the other hand, copper have a small heat capacity (0,385 J/mol*K)in comparison.

In conclusion, the copper will release its heat decreasing importantly its temperature and the water will absorb that heat resulting in a small increment of temperature. So the final temperature will be close to 20°C

<u>This analysis can be done because we have equal masses of both substances. </u>

Which of the following describes the characteristics of a plasma?
Scorpion4ik [409]

There are essentially 5 states of matter-

1) Solid

2) Liquid

3) Gas

4) Plasma

5) Bose-Einstein Condensate

Plasma comprises of positive and negatively charged particles that are formed in extremely high temperature conditions. A characteristic of plasma is that it is not dense enough. The ions tend to be far apart, which makes them to spread out and imparts compressibility.

Ans B)
