Answer: E. It decreases the value of Eact.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and more molecules convert to products.

The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.

Answer:

c) both

Explanation:

hey, could you check the question once because I suppose it's 2-hexyne when there's a triple bond and 2-hexene when there's a double bond between Carbon atoms. As of the question asked, it's c) both but it's 2-hexene due to presence of double bond between Carbon atoms.

do tell me as well. have a good day :-))

stbank, Question 075 Get help answering Molecular Drawing questions. Compound A, C6H12 reacts with HBr/ROOR to give compound B,

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case we want to know the structures of A (C6H12), B (C6H13Br) and C (C6H14).

A and C reacts with two differents reagents and conditions, however both of them gives the same product.

Let's analyze each reaction.

First, C6H12 has the general formula of an alkene or cycloalkane. However, when we look at the reagents, which are HBr in ROOR, and the final product, we can see that this is an adition reaction where the H and Br were added to a molecule, therefore we can conclude that the initial reactant is an alkene. Now, what happens next? A is reacting with HBr. In general terms when we have an adition of a molecule to a reactant like HBr (Adding electrophyle and nucleophyle) this kind of reactions follows the markonikov's rule that states that the hydrogen will go to the carbon with more hydrogens, and the nucleophyle will go to the carbon with less hydrogen (Atom that can be stabilized with charge). But in this case, we have something else and is the use of the ROOR, this is a peroxide so, instead of follow the markonikov rule, it will do the opposite, the hydrogen to the more substituted carbon and the bromine to the carbon with more hydrogens. This is called the antimarkonikov rule. Picture attached show the possible structure for A. The alkene would have to be the 1-hexene.

Now in the second case we have C, reacting with bromine in light to give also B. C has the formula C6H14 which is the formula for an alkane and once again we are having an adition reaction. In this case, conditions are given to do an adition reaction in an alkane. bromine in presence of light promoves the adition of the bromine to the molecule of alkane. In this case it can go to the carbon with more hydrogen or less hydrogens, but it will prefer the carbon with more hydrogens. In this case would be the terminal hydrogens of the molecules. In this case, it will form product B again. the alkane here would be the hexane. See picture for structures.

Which transition in the hydrogen atom produces emitted light with the longest wavelength?

monitta

Answer:

Red light has the longest wavelength

Explanation:

Red light is emitted when a high energy state electron drops from high energy level 3 to low energy level 2. Red light has the longest wavelength and lowest energy. It is a know fact that the shorter the drop within energy levels, the lesser the energy.
