<u>Answer: </u>

Reaction C

<u>Explanation: </u>

For reaction A) we have the production of alcohol by the action of the water that attacks the tertiary carbocation produced by the leaving of Br. In the last step we will have the proton transfer (figure 1).

For B) the proton transfer step is given in the double bond formation due to the attack of the hydroxle group (figure 2).

In C we have an Sn2 reaction. Therefore, the reaction takes place in only one step without the opportunity of a proton transfer step (figure 3).

Finally for D we have an elimination reaction in which the tert-butoxide molecule will remove hydrogen (proton transfer step) from the carbocation to produce an alkene (figure 4).

Vinil7 [7]
Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth. Over millions of years, much of this water is recycled between the inner Earth, the oceans and rivers, and the atmosphere. This cycling process means that freshwater is constantly made available to Earth's surface where we all live. Our planet is also very efficient at keeping this water. Water, as a vapor in our atmosphere, could potentially escape into space from Earth. But the water doesn't escape because certain regions of the atmosphere are extremely cold. (At an altitude of 15 kilometers, for example, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius!) At this frigid temperature, water forms solid crystals that fall back to Earth's surface.
Many people live faraway from freshwater sources. They need to carry their water home.
While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it's important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. In fact, half of the world's freshwater can be found in only six countries. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water.
Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle. Stuff we put down the drain ends up in someone or something else's water. We can help protect the quality of our planet's freshwater by using it more wisely.

How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight = 58 Da) would you have to dissolve in 50ml to make a 2M stock solution? Answer:
Lerok [7]

Answer:

5.8 g

Explanation:

Molecular weight in Daltons is equivalent to the molecular weight in grams per mole.

The amount of NaCl required is calculated as follows:

(2 mol/L)(50 mL)(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.1 mol

This amount is converted to grams using the molar mass (58 g/mol).

(0.1 mol)(58 g/mol) = 5.8 g

I need help with the first question
gregori [183]
Zn⁰ ----> Zn⁺²   +   2e⁻ -  oxidation
Hg⁺² + 2e⁻ ----> Hg⁰ - reduction

Zn loses 2 moles of electrons , and Hg gains 2 mole of electrons.
So, number of moles of electrons gained and lost during reaction is equal.

Which of the following atoms has the greatest atomic radius? Oxygen (o) fluorine (F) Chlorine (CL) Carbon (C)
Andrei [34K]

Periodic Trend:

The Atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period

Group Trend:

The atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group. As atomic number increases down a group, there is a increase in the positive nuclear charge, however the co-occurring increase in the number of orbitals wins out, increasing the atomic radius down a group in the periodic table

Answer :

The Atom with the greatest atomic radius is chlorine. Fluorine can be ruled out because it is in the same period as oxygen and further to the right down the period. Chlorine has the largest atomic size because it is farthest down the group of any of the above elements listed.
