2. The diagram below shows steps in the exothermic chemical reaction of bromomethane with

Chemistry
1 answer:
vovangra [49]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Balanced equation

HQ⁻ + CH₃-Br ⟶ HQ-CH₃ + Br⁻

(I must use HQ because the Brainly Editor thinks the O makes a forbidden word)

2. Mechanism

HQ⁻ + CH₃-Br ⟶[HQ···CH₃···Br]⁻⟶ HQ-CH₃ + Br⁻

        A                           C                         B

The hydroxide ion attacks the back side of the carbon atom in the bromomethane (A).

At the same time as the Q-H bond starts to form, the C-Br bond starts to break.

At the half-way point, we have a high-energy intermediate (C) with partially formed C-O and C-Br bonds.

As the reaction proceeds further, the Br atom drops off to form the products — methanol and bromide ion (B).

3. Energy diagram

See the diagram below.

Except for the reaction between iron and sulfur, none of the reactions in this
Sloan [31]

he total number of each of the atoms on the left and the right are the same thus the reaction equation is balanced.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of mass?</h3>

The law of conservation of mass states that, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In view of the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants on the left-hand side must be the same as the total mass of products at the right hand side.

Thus is the total mass of the reactants and the products are not the same, it then follows that the reaction does not demonstrate the law of conservation of mass. In this case, the total number of each of the atoms on the left and the right are the same thus the reaction equation is balanced.

Sedbober [7]

Answer: 6,25 moles

Explanation: mark amount of butane x.

From equation you can calculate x in a following way:

2/x = 8/25. 8x = 50. And x = 6,25

Serjik [45]

Explanation:

12 hours ago

El ácido sulfúrico H2SO4 es uno de los compuestos que se utiliza para la producción de fertilizantes como el nitrosulfato amónico. Si disponemos de 8 mL de H2SO4 al 37 %P/P (d=1,26 g /mL), los cuales se disolvieron hasta alcanzar un volumen de solución de 400 mL, con una densidad de 1,08 g/mL. (La densidad del soluto es corresponde a 1,83 g/cm³)
