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>

Which of these solutions has the highest freezing point?
ANEK [815]

Answer: 1.0 M molecular sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁).


Explanation:


1) The depression of the freezing point of a solvent when you add a solute is a colligative property.


2) Colligative properties are those physical properties of solutions that depends on the number of solute particles dissolved into the solution.


3) The relation between the number of solute particles and the depresson of the freezing point is proportional: the greater the number of solute particles the greater the freezing point depression.


4) You need to find the solution with the highest freezing point, this is the solution in which the freezing point decreased the least.


5) Then, that is the solution with least number of solute particles.


6) Since all the given solutions have the same molarity (1.0 M), you only have to deal with the possible ionization of the different solutes.


7) NaCl, CaBr₂, AlBr₃, and KCl are ionic compounds, so each unit of them will ionize into two, three, four, and two ions, respectively, while sucrose, being a covalent compound does not dissociate.


Then, 1.0 M solution of sucrose will have less solute particles than the others, and will exhitibit the lowest freezing point depression, meaning that it will have the highest freezing point of the given solutions.

Type the correct answer in the box.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

<em>a= In scientific notation</em>

6.96×10⁵ Km

<em>b =In  expanded notation</em>

0.00019 mm

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius of sun = 696000 Km

size of bacterial cell = 1.9 ×10⁻⁴ mm

Radius of sun in scientific notation = ?

Size of bacterial cell in expanded notation = ?

Solution:

Radius of sun:

696000 Km

<em>In scientific notation</em>

6.96×10⁵ Km

Size of bacterial cell:

1.9 ×10⁻⁴ mm

<em>In  expanded notation</em>

1.9/ 10000 = 0.00019 mm
