<h2>Answer:</h2>
6.67moles
<h2>Explanations:</h2>
Given the balanced chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen expressed as:
First, you need to calculate the moles of water produced.
Based on stochiometry, 2 moles of hydrogen produces 2 moles of water, hence the moles of hydrogen that will be needed to produce 120g of water is 6.67moles
I believe amount of valence electrons
Answer:
four electrons
Explanation:
Let us attempt to write the electronic configuration of carbon in the ground state. This electronic configuration will now be;
C- 1s2 2s2 2p2
The outermost principal energy level of carbon is the n=2 level which houses the 2s2 and 2p2, making a total of four electrons in the outermost principal energy level of an atom of carbon in the ground state.
Answer:
The base is involved in the rate determining step of an E2 reaction mechanism
Explanation:
Let us get back to the basics. Looking at an E1 reaction, the rate determining step is unimolecular, that is;
Rate = k [Carbocation] since the rate determining step is the formation of a carbonation.
For an E2 reaction however, the reaction is bimolecular hence for the rate determining step we can write;
Rate = k[alkyl halide] [base]
The implication of this is that an excess of either the alkyl halide or base will facilitate an E2 reaction.
Hence, when excess base is used, E2 reaction is favoured since the base is involved in its rate determining step. In an E1 reaction, the base is not involved in the rate determining step hence an excess of the base has no effect on an E1 reaction.
