Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

M\rightarrow M^++e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

N^++e^-\rightarrow N

Overall reaction: M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

Draw the major organic product(s) of the reaction of p-bromoaniline with HNO2, HCl.
NARA [144]

Answer:

The major product from this reaction is 4-bromobenzene diazonium chloride.

Explanation:

The reaction of p-bromoaniline with HNO2 and HCl produces diazonium salt. When primary aromatic amines are nitrosated with nitrous acid in the presence of a strong acid such as HCl, diazonium salts are frequently formed. The diazonium salts are a crucial step in the production of halides and azo compounds. The necessary reaction mechanism is depicted in the illustration in the diagram below.

Two substances with empirical formula HNO are hyponitrous acid (M = 62.04 g/mol) and nitroxyl (M = 31.02 g/mol).(b) For each spe
Natalija [7]

Below is an attachment of the Lewis structure with the lowest formal charges.

The formal charge is the fictitious charge that an atom in a molecule would have if the electrons in the bonds were evenly distributed among the atoms. The nonbonding electrons on a neutral atom are subtracted from its valence electron count, which is then followed by the number of bonds that bind it to other atoms in the Lewis structure, to get the formal charge. This is another way to put it. When hyponitrous acid is oxidized in the atmosphere, nitric and nitrous acids are produced. By reducing a nitrate or nitrite by sodium amalgam in the presence of water, hyponitrite salts have been created.

Draw structures from the following names, and determine which compounds are optically active:(c) 1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane
dolphi86 [110]

The given compound 1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane is an optically active compound .

Because this compound does not have plane of symmetry (POS) and center  of symmetry (COS) i.e. does not have di-symmetry . And also forms non superimposable mirror image . the compound is optically active .

It has  chiral center.

Here , the chiral carbon is attached to the 4 distinct groups such as :  methyl , ethyl , bromine , bromomethane .

<h3>What is di-symmetry?</h3>

Di-symmetry is that which have no center of symmetry and plane of symmetry and alternate axis of symmetry .

<h3>Chiral center :</h3>

Have Sp3 hybridized center (4sigma bond ) .

4 distinct group  is attached to the chiral atom. form non -superimposable mirror image .

<h3>What is optical isomerism ?</h3>

Same molecular formula and same structural formula . also have same physical and chemical properties .

They differ in their behavior towards plane polarized light (ppl) .

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

ΔHrxn =  - 1534.3 J

Explanation:

Given the assumptions and the formula for the change in enthalpy:

ΔHrxn = m x C x ΔT,  where

               m is the mass of solution given 135.4 g

               C is the heat capacity 4.2 J/g .K  and,

               ΔT is the change in temperature

we have ,

T₁ = ( 18.1 + 273) K = 291.1 K

T₂ = ( 15.4 +273) K = 288.4 K

ΔHrxn =  135.3 g x 4.2 J/gK x ( 288.4 -291.1 ) K = - 1534.3 J

After verifying our result has the correct unit, the answer is -1534.3 Joules, and the negative sign tells us it is an endothermic reaction decreasing the final temperature.
