Answer: AIBN is good radical initiator

Explanation:

A radical in organic chemistry refers to any specie having a single unshared electron. An initiator is any specie capable of producing radicals thus starting up a chain reaction. Azobisisobutyronitrile is a good initiator basically owing to its structure. It forms radicals by breaking up to release nitrogen gas as shown in the image attached. The two radicals formed both contain the -CN group which stabilizes the radical.

1. Here is a chemical equation: C2H2 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1) a) 2 C2H2 + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 2H2O

b) Combustion Reaction

c) Bonds will be broken on the reactant side which will require energy.

d) It agrees with the law of conservation of mass because there are the same amount of molecules of each element on both sides of the equation, meaning mass was not created nor destroyed.

2) a) 2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl

4Fe+3O₂⇒2Fe₂O₃

CO₂+2Cl₂⇒O₂+CCl₄

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

For simple equations, you can experiment with the balance of the number of atoms on the left and right

4Fe+3O₂⇒2Fe₂O₃

CO₂+2Cl₂⇒O₂+CCl₄

with variable :

aFe+bO₂⇒Fe₂O₃

Fe , left=a, right=2⇒a=2

O, left=2b, right=3⇒2b=3⇒b=3/2

the equation :

2Fe+3/2O₂⇒Fe₂O₃ x2

4Fe+3O₂⇒2Fe₂O₃

aCO₂+bCl₂⇒O₂+CCl₄

C, left=a, right=1⇒a=1

Cl, left=2b, right=4⇒b=2

O, left=2a, right=2⇒2a=2⇒a=1

the equation :

CO₂+2Cl₂⇒O₂+CCl₄

Reaction of HBr with 3-methylcyclohexene yields a mixture of four products cis-and trans-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane and cis-and

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The mechanism of this reaction including intermediates are shown in the image attached to this answer.

The reaction of HBr with 3-bromocyclohexene yields trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane as the sole product because; the proton first attacks the 3-bromocyclohexene and a brominium ion is formed. This brominium ion is a cyclic intermediate as shown in the image attached.

Attack of a bromine ion afterwards must lead to the formation of trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane as shown.
