How does a ketone react with PCl5?,

Chemistry
1 answer:
Reptile [31]4 years ago
7 0

When ketone is reacted with phosphorous pentachloride, chlorination takes place at the carbonyl carbon with substitution of the oxygen atom to give a geminal dichloride (with 2 Cl atoms on same carbon) according to the following equation: 

so we can say that acetone is converted into 2,2-dichloropropane by action of PCl₅

In two or more complete sentences, explain the difference between heat and temperature.
mina [271]

Answer:

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy. It is heat that will increase or decrease the temperature. If we add heat, the temperature will become higher. If we remove heat the temperature will become lower. Higher temperatures mean that the molecules are moving, vibrating and rotating with more energy. If we take two objects which have the same temperature and bring them into contact, there will be no overall transfer of energy between them because the average energies of the particles in each object are the same. But if the temperature of one object is higher than that of the other object, there will be a transfer of energy from the hotter to the colder object until both objects reach the same temperature.

Temperature is not energy, but a measure of it. Heat is energy.

The addition of phosphate to a chemical compound is called A. glycolysis. B. oxidation. C. reduction. D. phosphorylation.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Phosphorylation can be simply defined as the addition of a phosphate group to an organic and inorganic molecule. This process helps in regulating the processes that occur in the cells. It leads to the growth and development of cells and this process is efficiently carried out with the help of enzymes like kinase. It also plays an important role in transferring the signals within the cells, synthesis, and functioning of proteins within the cells, and storing as well as releasing of energy.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The change in internal energy for the combustion of 1.0 mol of octane at a pressure of 1.0 atm is -5084.1 kj . f the change in e
TEA [102]

<u>Given:</u>

Change in internal energy = ΔU = -5084.1 kJ

Change in enthalpy = ΔH = -5074.3 kJ

<u>To determine:</u>

The work done, W

<u>Explanation:</u>

Based on the first law of thermodynamics,

ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

the work done by a gas is given as:

W = -PΔV

Therefore:

ΔH = ΔU - W

W = ΔU-ΔH = -5084.1 -(-5074.3) = -9.8 kJ

Ans: Work done is -9.8 kJ

16. Explain why antifreeze is used in vehicle radiators. Use your knowledge of the properties of
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Antifreeze is whats used to keep your engine cool without freezing.

Explanation:

it keeps the engine from overheating.

It also prevents corrosion.

Here is a quote from google "Antifreeze works because the freezing and boiling points of liquids are “colligative” properties. This means they depend on the concentrations of “solutes,” or dissolved substances, in the solution. A pure solution freezes because the lower temperatures cause the molecules to slow down"

That quote is from "The Science Behind Antifreeze"

If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments.

Which one of the following compounds will be least soluble in water?
algol [13]

Water is a polar solvent. Since, 'Like dissolves like' a polar compound will be most soluble in water whereas a non-polar compound will be the least soluble.

The increasing order of polarity for the given organic compounds is:-

CH3OCH3 < CH3NH2 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH

Ether is the least polar and hence least soluble in water.
