Answer:

2-iodo-2-methylpentane > 2-bromo-2-methylpentane > 2-chloro-2-methylpentane > 2-chloro-2-methylpentane

Explanation:

In this case, the<u> Sn1 reaction</u> would form a <u>carbocation</u>. So, the molecule that can generate a <u>very stable carbocation</u> will be more reactive.  We have to remember that <u>tertiary carbocations</u> are the more stable ones. With this in mind, 3-chloropentane would be the <u>least reactive</u> molecules of all.

Then to decide which one is more reactive between the other ones, we have to check the <u>leaving group</u>. In this case, all the atoms are <u>halogens</u>, so if we have a <u>larger atom</u> the leaving group would leave <u>more easily</u>.

With his in mind the larger atom would be I, then Br and finally Cl, therefore the 2-iodo-2-methylpentane would be the <u>more reactive one.</u>

A copper ore containing 4.3 wt% water, 10.3 wt% CuSO, and 85.3 wt% rock is fed to a staged counter current extractor at a rate o
Serga [27]

Answer:

6 stages

Explanation:

Given:

Copper ore contains:

4.3 wt% water

10.3 wt% CuSO₄

85.3 wt% rock

Feed rate = 11.7 tons per hour

solution produced is to be 10 wt% copper sulfate

90 wt% water

Now,

The CuSO₄ supplied through the feed = 10.3 wt% CuSO₄ × Feed rate

= 0.103 × 11.7

= 1.2051 tons per hour

also,

At each stage 2 tons of solution is collected

therefore,

The CuSO₄ collected in each stage

= weight of solution × 10 wt% copper sulfate

= 2 tons per hour × 0.1

= 0.2 tons per hour

also,

98% of the CuSO₄ is to be recovered

thus,

the amount of CuSO₄ to be recovered

= 0.98 × CuSO₄ supplied through the feed

= 0.98 × 1.2051 tons per hour

= 1.180998

Therefore,

The number of stages required = \frac{\textup{amount of CuSO₄ to be recovered }}{\textup{CuSO₄ collected in each stage }}

= \frac{\textup{1.180998}}{\textup{0.2}}

= 5.90499 ≈ 6 stages

elixir [45]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of  approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5  billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238   h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235   h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T =   ?    N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h   where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem

Acetylene (c2h2) undergoes combustion in excess oxygen to generate gaseous carbon dioxide and water. given δh°f[co2(g)] = –393.5
Brums [2.3K]
Answer is: 13181,7 kJ of energy <span>is released when 10.5 moles of acetylene is burned.
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: C₂H₂ + 5/2O₂ → 2CO₂ + H₂O.
<span>ΔHrxn = sum of ΔHf (products of reaction) - sum of ΔHf (reactants).</span><span>
Or ΔHrxn = ∑ΔHf (products of reaction) - ∑ΔHf (reactants).
ΔHrxn - enthalpy change of chemical reaction.
<span>ΔHf - enthalpy of formation of reactants or products.
</span></span>ΔHrxn = (2·(-393,5) + (-241,8)) - 226,6 · kJ/mol.
ΔHrxn = -1255,4 kJ/mol.
Make proportion: 1 mol (C₂H₂) : -1255,4 kJ = 10,5 mol(C₂H₂) : Q.
Q = 13181,7 kJ.

Why do larger gases such as Neon produce more color bands (line spectra) than smaller gases like Hydrogen?
LekaFEV [45]
Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.
