What specific electrophile does benzene attack when it undergoes nitration??

1 answer:

7 0

The reaction is as follows:
C6H6 + HNO3 + H2SO4 ------------> C6H5NO2 + H2O
(BENZENE) (NITRIC ACID)(CATALYST)
NO2(+) is the electrophile that acctacks on the benzene ring in nitration process.

When the procedure calls for making a more dilute solution of an acid, or mixing an acid with other solutions, what is the corre

stiks02 [169]

Explanation:

Whenever we need to make a dilute solution of an acid then it is necessary to add water or non-acidic component into the acid first. This is because addition of water or non-acidic component directly into the acid could be highly exothermic in nature.

As a result, the acid can splutter and can cause burning of skin and other serious damage.

So, in order to avoid such type of damage the addition of water or non-acidic component into the acid actually helps to minimize the heat generated.

Thus, we can conclude that correct order of steps for making a more dilute solution of an acid is that either add all of the water or non-acid component first, or add a significant portion, before adding the acid to the mixture.

1. a. FeS + 2HCl --> FeCl2 + H2S
b. This is a double- replacement reaction. (The elements "switch partners".)

2. a.2Na + F2 --> 2NaF
b. This is a composition/synthesis reaction. (The two reactants are combining or synthesizing to make one product.)

3. a. 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2
b. This is a decomposition reaction. (The single reactant is breaking down or "decomposing" into multiple reactants.)

4. Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to create water in a composition/synthesis reaction.

I hope these answers will help you! If you need any explanation, ask and hopefully I can get back to you. ;)

What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass (11h) that is in the nucleus? the mass of proton is 1.007276 u, and the mass of

ololo11 [35]

Hello there!

To determine the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus, we have to keep in mind that a Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron. Protons are in the nucleus while electrons are in electron shells surrounding the nucleus. The mass of the nucleus will be equal to the mass of 1 proton and we can express the fraction as follows:

$Mass Fraction= \frac{mass 1 Proton}{mass H atom} = \frac{1,007276 u}{1,007825}=0,9995$

So, the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus is 0,9995. That means that almost all the mass of this atom is at the nucleus.

Have a nice day!
