Answer:

<u>Polymerization process(Addition)</u>

Explanation:

<u>Polymerization </u>: The process in which small units called monomers combine to produce large mass compound is called polymerization reaction.These large masses are also called macromolecules.

The formation of polymers can occur by addition or condensation process .

<u><em>Addition</em></u> : In addition reaction small units add to previous units

<em><u>Condensation</u></em> : In condensation , a small molecule like water , carbon dioxide get eliminated when the unit attach to previous unit.

Some natural polymers are Proteins , carbohydrates , lipids , cellulose.

Polythene = addition polymerisation also known as Chain growth polymerisation.

$nCH_{2}=CH_{2}\rightarrow (-CH_{2}CH_{2}-)_{n}$

This occur in three steps:

1. Chain Initiation : The start of the reaction occurs with the radical. These are generated from some organic peroxide and have general representation:

$R^{.}$

2 . Chain Growth = When the small units goes on adding to the previous units , Chain length increases and this is called chain growth.

3. Chain Termination = The chain continues to grow more and more until not forced to stop. This termination of chain growth is called chain termination

Phosphorous trichloride (PCl3) is produced

vladimir1956 [14]

The percentage yield obtained from the given reaction above is 74.8%

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

P₄ + 6Cl₂ → 4PCl₃

Molar mass of P₄ = 31 × 4 = 124 g/mol

Mass of P₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 124 = 124 g

Molar mass of PCl₃ = 31 + (35.5×3) = 137.5 g/mol

Mass of PCl₃ from the balanced equation = 4 × 137.5 = 550 g

<h3>SUMMARY</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

124 g of P₄ reacted to produce 550 g of PCl₃

<h3>How to determine the theoretical yield </h3>

From the balanced equation above,

124 g of P₄ reacted to produce 550 g of PCl₃

Therefore,

79.12 g of P₄ will react to produce = (79.12 × 550) / 124 = 350.9 g of PCl₃

<h3>How to determine the percentage yield </h3>

Actual yield of PCl₃ = 262.6 g
Theoretical yield of PCl₃ = 350.9 g

Percentage yield =?

Percentage yield = (Actual /Theoretical) × 100

Percentage yield = (262.6 / 350.9) × 100

Percentage yield = 74.8%

Consider a disubstituted aromatic compound. The parent name is benzene and there is a chloro and bromo substituent. Disubstitute

Marina86 [1]

Answer:The correct names for the structure are:

--> 1. 1-bromo-3-chlorobenzene.

--> 3. meta-bromochlorobenzene.

--> 6. m-bromochlorobenzene.

Explanation:

Benzene is the simplest member of the aromatic hydrocarbons. It has a ring structure consisting of six carbon and six hydrogen atoms. This equally means that a benzene can have up to six substituents. One of the chemical properties is that benzene and other members of its series undergo substitution reaction whereby one or more of its six hydrogen atoms is replaced by monoatomic reagents.

Disubstituted benzene consists of two substituents which are described based on either numerical locants or specific words for the three possible forms.

The numerical locant method are used the same naming substitutes of other hydrocarbons. From the question, the numerical locant method was derived through using the following steps:

--> the functional group is benzene

--> there are two substituents which includes bromine( written as bromo) and chlorine ( written as chloro)

--> while placing the number, it's done alphabetically ('1-bromo' comes before '3-chloro') in a clockwise manner. This is to give chorine the lowest locant number.

The second naming method for a disubstituted benzene is the the ortho-, meta-, para- (or their singel letter equivalent) nomenclature method. This is only used for benzene structures.

--> ortho or O : this is used when the substituents are close to each other in the benzene ring.

--> meta or (m) : This is used when the substituents are separated by one carbon in the benzene ring.

--> para or (p): This is used when the substituents are across each other in the benzene ring

From the question, the bromine substituent is separated from the chlorine by one carbon atom, therefore it's meta-bromochlorobenzene or m-bromochlorobenzene.

CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 mc023-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2 reacts with excess NaNO3 to pro

MatroZZZ [7]

The stoichiometric ratio of CuCl2 to NaCl is 1 is to 2. The stoichiometric ratio of 31.0 g CuCl2 is 26.95 grams of NaCl by converting the amount of CuCl2 to mole and multiplying by 0.5 and molar mass of NaCl.This amount is equal to 78.65% yield.
