Answer:

<u>Formation of soil:</u>

The soil formation basically results from the weathering of rocks.

Explanation:

<u>Weathering of rocks and the formation of soil:</u>

The soil is mainly formed from different nutrients, and minerals. As different living organisms lives inside the soil. Weathering of rocks leads to deposition  of nutrients, minerals, and water molecules inside the different layers. The process takes place when the different molecules are carried from one point to the another on the surface of the planet, this results in the creation of different layers of soil over time.

Which of the following statements about benzene is true? Multiple Choice
fenix001 [56]

Answer: option a and d

Explanation:

Option A- Benzene undergoes substitution reaction

Example : benzene reacts with chlorine to form chlorobenzene, in the presence of Iron

(iii) chloride as a catalyst

C6H6 + Cl2 ---> C6H5Cl + HCl

Option D- Benzene also undergoes addition reaction

Example: benzene reacts with hydrogen , in the presence of nickel as a catalyst to form

cyclohexane

C6H6 + 3H2 ---> C6H12

Reasons why Option B isn't the answer

Although benzeme has degree of unsaturation but it's not five degree of unsaturation.

Benzene has 6 carbon atoms and 4 degrees of unsaturation (1 ring and 3 double

bonds).

If you work backwards and double the degrees of unsaturation you have 8 degrees of

unsaturation instead of 5.

Option C - Benzene isn't a saturated hydrocarbon

When light is shown on a mixture of chlorine and chloromethane, carbon tetrachloride is one of the components of the final react
velikii [3]

A free-radical substitution reaction is likely to be responsible for the observations. The reaction mechanism of a reaction like this can be grouped into three phases:

  • Initiation; the "light" on the mixture deliver sufficient amount of energy such that the halogen molecules undergo homologous fission. It typically takes ultraviolet radiation to initiate fissions of the bonds.  
  • Propagation; free radicals react with molecules to produce new free radicals and molecules.
  • Termination; two free radicals combine and form covalent bonds to produce stable molecules. Note that it is possible for two carbon-containing free-radicals to combine, leading to the production of trace amounts of long carbon chains in the product.

Initiation

\text{Cl}-\text{Cl} \stackrel{\text{UV}}{\to} \text{Cl}\bullet + \bullet\text{Cl}

where the big black dot indicates unpaired electrons attached to the atom.

Propagation

\text{CH}_3\text{Cl}+ \text{Cl}\bullet \to \bullet\text{CH}_2\text{Cl} + \text{HCl}

\bullet\text{CH}_2\text{Cl} + \text{Cl}_2 \to \text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 + \text{Cl}\bullet

\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 + \text{Cl}\bullet \to \bullet\text{CHCl}_2 + \text{HCl}

\bullet\text{CHCl}_2+ \text{Cl}_2 \to \text{CHCl}_3 + \bullet \text{Cl}

\text{CHCl}_3 + \text{Cl}\bullet \to \bullet\text{CCl}_3 + \text{HCl}

\bullet\text{CCl}_3 + \text{Cl}_2 \to \text{CCl}_4 + \text{Cl}\bullet

Termination

\text{Cl}\bullet + \bullet\text{Cl} \to \text{Cl}-\text{Cl}
