Explanation:
Dehydrohalogenation reactions occurs as elimination reactions through the following mechanism:
Step 1: A strong base(usually KOH) removes a slightly acidic hydrogen proton from the alkyl halide.
Step 2: The electrons from the broken hydrogen‐carbon bond are attracted toward the slightly positive carbon (carbocation) atom attached to the chlorine atom. As these electrons approach the second carbon, the halogen atom breaks free.
However, elimination will be slower in the exit of Hydrogen atom at the C2 and C3 because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group.
Elimination of the hydrogen from the methyl group is easier.
Thus, the major product will A
Use the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
so, T = PV / nR
n=0.5
V= 120 dm^3 = 120 L (1 dm^3 = 1 L)
R = 1/12
P = 15,000 Pa = 0.147 atm (1 pa = 9.86 10^{-6} )
Put the values:
T = PV / nR
T = (0.147) (120) / (0.5) (1/12)
T= 426 K
B) Equal to the number of protons
<span>So to make it clear let's break the equation down species by species and assess the number of each species on bothe sides of the equation:
2C</span>₈H₈ + 25O₂ → 8CO₂ + 18H₂<span>O
LHS: C - 16 RHS: C - 8
H - 16 H - 36
O - 50 O - 34
Thus based on that it is evident that the equation is not quite balanced. This therefore means a "</span><span>No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal."
</span>The actual balance equation would be C₈H₈ + 10O₂ → 8CO₂ + 4H₂O
