I have attached an image that shows the most stable conformation of 1,2-dibromoethane. The top image shows the line drawing of the structure and the bottom image shows the Newman project of the structure. The Newman project shows up the perspective of looking down the C1-C2 bond of the compound. From this perspective, we can see the relationship between the two bromo-substituents.

Since the bromo-substituents are the largest groups substituted on each carbon atom, these groups will want to be as far away from each other in space as possible. The result is this anti- relationship shown, where the two bromo atoms are as far away from each other as possible within the molecule to reduce the amount of steric interactions. Therefore, the anti-conformation is the most stable conformation of 1,2-dibromoethane.

Chapter 15 of your textbook discusses conjugation and various reactions of 1,3-dienes. In CHE 321, we discussed various ways to

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Dienes are alkenes that contain two carbon-carbon double bonds, so they have the same properties as these hydrocarbons.

In the attached file are the two reactions of dienes production.

Explanation:

Two ways to obtain dienes are as follows:

-Reaction of oxidative dehydrogenation of an alkane, is an exothermic process and occurs at lower temperatures, diene and water are formed, generating greater conversion at lower temperature levels.

-Dehydration of primary alcohols. The treatment of alcohols with acid at elevated temperatures produces dienes due to water loss. For example, heating ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid produces ethene by the loss of a water molecule.

What would be the pH of a solution of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.001 M?

son4ous [18]

0001 M HCl is the same as saying that 1 *10-4 moles of H+ ions have been added to solution. The -log[. 0001] =4, so the pH of the solution =4.

A student experimentally determines the density of a metal cube. The edge length of the cube is measured using calipers. The cub

IgorC [24]

Answer:

10.9%.

Explanation:

The first thing to do in order to solve this question is to Determine the value for the volume of the the cube. This can be done by taking the cube root of the length of the cube;

The volume of the cube = (length of the cube)^3 = length × length × length = 1.72 × 1.72 × 1.72 =( 1.72)^3 = 5.09cm^3.

The next thing you do is to Determine the exponential density, the can be done by using the formula below;

The exponential density = mass/ volume = 55. 786/ 5.09 = 10.96 g/cm^3.

Therefore, the percent error = (true density of the cube - exponential density of the cube)÷ true density of the cube × 100.

Hence, the percent error = 12.30 - 10.96/12.30 × 100 = 10.9%.

What kind of solution would have a Kb value much greater than 1?

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

B. a strongly basic solution

Explanation:

Kb is base dissociation constant, which indicates how completely a base dissociates into its component ions in water. The greater the Kb value, the greater the alkalinity of the solution and vice versa.

Therefore, a solution with a Kb value much greater than 1, indicates a strongly basic solution, while a solution with a Kb value less than 1, indicates a weakly basic solution.
