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.

Answer:
Δ S = 93.8 J/mol-K
Explanation:
Given,
Boiling point of chloroform = 61.7 °C
= 273 + 61.7 = 334.7 K.
Enthalapy of vapourization = 31.4 kJ/mol.
Using Gibbs free energy equation
Δ G = Δ H - T (ΔS)
at equilibrium (when the liquid is boiling), Δ G = 0
so, 0 = ΔH - T (Δ S)
T (Δ S) = Δ H
and ΔS = ΔH / T
Δ S = (31400 J/mol.) / 334.7 K
Δ S = 93.8 J/mol-K
Answer:Acids taste sour, react with metals, react with carbonates, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, do not react with carbonates and turn red litmus paper blue.
Explanation:
- Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)
- Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas.
- Increases the H+ concentration in water.
Answer:
The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).
The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.
The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.
The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.
The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
