When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.

Part 1: Name the type of chemical reaction that occurs when calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3).
liberstina [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> Neutralization reaction

<u>For 2: </u>Zinc is more reactive than lead and less reactive than calcium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For (1):</u>

When a base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water molecule, it is known as a neutralization reaction. The general equation follows:

HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and nitric acid follows:

Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)

  • <u>For (2):</u>

A single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The general chemical equation follows:

A+BX\rightarrow AX+B

where,

Metal A is more reactive than metal B

The reactivity of metals is judged by the reactivity series where a metal lying above in the series is more reactive than the metal lying below it.

From the reactivity series below,

Zinc lies above in the series than lead thus is more reactive and will easily replace lead from its aqueous solution.

While zinc lies below in the series than calcium thus is less reactive and will not easily replace calcium from its aqueous solution.

Zn(s)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)+Pb(s)

Zn(s)+CaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

Answer:

Missing component

Cl₂

H₂O

Explanation:

Reaction given:

? + 2NaBr → 2NaCl+Br

Mg+? → MgO+H2

missing component = ?

Solution:

Reaction 1

             ? + 2NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br

if we look at the reactants and products there is one element is in product side but not shown in the reactant side.

In products there are following atoms

Na (Sodium)

Cl (Chlorine)

Br (Bromine)

In Reactant there are following atoms

Na (Sodium)

Br (Bromine)

So only Chlorine is missing in the reactant side.

if we put chlorine in the reactant then this reaction will be complete

        Cl + 2 NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br

So chlorine react with water and give sodium chloride and bromine molecule, this is a single displacement reaction and chlorine replace bromine in the above reaction

Now balance the equation

          Cl₂ + 2 NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br₂

So, the missing component is

  • Cl₂

____________

Reaction 2

                Mg + ? ---------→ MgO + H₂

if we look at the reactants and products there are two element in product side but not shown in the reactant side.

In products there are following atoms

Mg (Magnesium)

O (Oxygen)

H (Hydrogen)

In Reactant there is only one following atom

Mg (Magnesium)

So Oxygen and Hydrogen is missing in the reactant side.

if we put water molecule (H₂O) in the reactant then this reaction will be complete

          Mg + H₂O ---------→ MgO + H₂

in this reaction magnesium (Mg) react with water (H₂O) and give magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas.

So, the missing component is

  • H₂O

35000 kJ/ 0.250 s <br><br> kJ is kilojoules
mario62 [17]
The unit 'kJ' or kilojoules is a unit of measurement for energy. It is equivalent to the SI units kg·m²/s². When energy is divided with time, that unit is now in terms of work, which energy per unit time. The parameter kJ/s is equivalent to kW or kilowatts.

Work = 35,000 kJ/0.250 s = <em>140,000 kW</em>
