Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

Friedel–Craft reaction is a reaction involves the attachment of substituents to the benzene ring.

Mechanism of the reaction of methylbenzene with 1-chlorodecane in the presence of ether and aluminum chloride :

Step -1 : Generation of stable carbocation.

Aluminium chloride acts as Lewis acid which removes the chloride ion from the alkyl halide forming carbocation. The primary carbocation thus formed gets rearranged to secondary primary carbocation which is more stable due to hyperconjugation.

Step-2: Attack of the ring to the carbocation

The pi electrons of the ring behave as a nucleophile and attacks the carbocation. Since, the group attached on the benzene is methyl (+R effect) , the attack is from the ortho and the para positions. Para product is more stable due to less steric hinderance.

The product formed is shown in mechanism does not mention in any of the options.

So, None of these is the answer

Answer:

c. 1-methyl-4-decylbenzene

Explanation:

Hello,

On the attached document you will find the major product for the stated chemical reaction even thought the listed product are possible, nonetheless, by cause of the steric hindrance, the most probable and abundant product is the shown one, 1-methyl-4-decylbenzene, as it has more space for the decyl to become part of the ring. Such reaction is a typical Friedel-Crafts alkylation of an aromatic compound whereas aluminium chloride is used as the catalyst to attach the alkyl chloride to the aromatic ring.

Best regards.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Latent heat of fusion of the substance is 6.49\times 10^{4}J/kg

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion denotes amount of energy (heat) per unit mass required to melt a solid material at constant temperature and pressure i.e. at it's melting point

Here amount of heat required = 1.20\times 10^{6}J

Mass of unknown substance being melted = 18.5 kg

So, latent heat of fusion of the substance = (required heat energy to melt)/(mass of the unknown substance) = \frac{1.20\times 10^{6}}{18.5}J/kg=6.49\times 10^{4}J/kg

So, latent heat of fusion of the substance is 6.49\times 10^{4}J/kg

geniusboy [140]
The terms that apply to this silver necklace are:
pure chemical substance
element

The necklace consists purely of silver, making it a pure chemical substance; moreover, silver itself is an element, not a compound. Therefore, the term element is also fitting for the necklace.

Who is Scavenger and how does it work ​
kolezko [41]
Scavengers are animals that consume dead organisms that have died from causes other than predation. While scavenging generally refers to carnivores feeding on carrion, it is also a herbivorous feeding behavior. Scavengers play an important role in the ecosystem by consuming dead animal and plant material.
