Answer:

Mo(CO)5 is the intermediate in this reaction mechanism.

Explanation:

The reaction mechanism describes the sequence of elementary reactions that must occur to go from reactants to products. Reaction intermediates are formed in one step and then consumed in a later step of the reaction mechanism.

In this reaction mechanism, Mo(CO)5 is the product of 1st reaction and then it is used as a reactant in 2nd reaction. So, Mo(CO)5 is the reaction intermediates.

The overall balanced equation would be,

Mo(CO)6 + P(CH3) ↔ CO + Mo(CO)5 +  P(CH3)3

Predict whether each of the following substances would be more soluble in water (polar solvent) or in a hydrocarbon such as hept
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Vegetable oil will dissolve in heptane

Isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water

Potassium Bromide will dissolve in water

Explanation:

In chemistry, like dissolves like. This implies that polar substances will dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar substances will dissolve in nonpolar solvents. This is so because, dissolution of a solute in a solvent involves adequate intermolecular interaction between solute and solvent which isn't possible between a polar and a nonpolar substance.

Can A magnet can be changed by hitting it hard or exposing it to heat.
Ainat [17]
Well, a magnet could DEFINITELY change if it gets exposed to heat, because you could melt the metal and change its shape.
If you hit it hard though, it wouldn't make much of a difference because the magnet is metal, so you'll probably just chip it or leave a dent.
Hope this helps ;)

Which of the following are characteristics of ionic
Margarita [4]

Answer:

  • have high melting and boiling points
  • are hard
  • are good conductors of electricity when  dissolved in water

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed between a metal and non-metal with a significant electronegativity difference. The metals transfers their electrons to the non-metals and the electrostatic attraction of the ions brings about the bonding that forms the compound.

Ionic compounds are diverse in nature and form.

Here are some of their properties:

  • They are usually hard solids with a high melting point or liquids with high boiling points
  • They are soluble in water and non-soluble in non-polar solvents
  • They are able to conduct electricity in molten form.
  • They undergo very fast reaction in aqueous solutions.

What changes would occur at a molecular level if a liquid is placed in cool conditions?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Movement of particles in a substance is responsible for change in state of the substance or matter.

This means that more is the motion of particles more will be their kinetic energy.  

Also, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.  

                     K.E = \frac{3}{2}kT  

So, less is the temperature of an object or substance less will be be the motion of its particles. Therefore, molecules will come closer to each other and state of substance will change from liquid to solid.

Thus, we can conclude that the motion of the molecules would decrease at a molecular level if a liquid is placed in cool conditions.
