How does the energy of the activated complex compare with the energies of reactants and products? select one:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Free_Kalibri [48]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • Option d. i<u><em>t is higher than the energy of both reactants and products</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Activated complex</em>, also known as transition state, is the intermediate structure formed in the course of a chemical reaction.

The activated complex is very unstable and of short life: it is at the peak of the potential chemical diagram, and can transform either into the reactants (backward) or the products (forward).

The activation energy of the reaction is the energy needed to reach the activated complex, then both reactants and products are lower in potential chemical energy than the activated complex, which is what explains why the activated complex can transform into one or another, reactants or products.

Which statement about surface tension is FALSE?
Georgia [21]

Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension

The Lucas test has _______ results based on the type of alcohol present because the reaction involves a _________, which is ____
Olin [163]

Answer:

1) positive

2) carbocation

3) most stable

4) faster

Explanation:

A common test for the presence of alcohols can be achieved using the Lucas reagent. Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride.

The reaction of Lucas reagent reacts with alcohols leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride. Since the reaction proceeds via a carbocation mechanism, tertiary alcohols give an immediate reaction. Once a tertiary alcohol is mixed with Lucas reagent, the solution turns cloudy almost immediately indicating an instant positive reaction.

Secondary alcohols may turn cloudy within five minutes of mixing the solutions. Primary alcohols do not significantly react with Lucas reagent obviously because they do not form stable carbocations.

Therefore we can use the Lucas reagent to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.
