Answer:

PhCH2CH2COOH

Explanation:

This is a reaction of PhCH2CH2Br with KCN in the presence of H3O^+. The reaction first leads to the formation of PhCH2CH2CN.

We must recall that part of the properties of nitriles is that they can be converted to carboxylic acids in the presence of H3O^+. This is a common synthetic route for carboxylic acids.

Therefore, when the PhCH2CH2CN is now further reacted with H3O^+, the carboxylic acid PhCH2CH2COOH is formed as the major organic product of the reaction, hence the answer given above.

If the wavelength of purple light is 400 x 10^-9 m, what is the frequency?

FromTheMoon [43]

The frequency : a) 7.5 x 10¹⁴ /s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Radiation energy is absorbed by photons

The energy in one photon can be formulated as

$\large{\boxed{\bold{E\:=\:h\:.\:f}}}$

Where

h = Planck's constant (6,626.10⁻³⁴ Js)

f = Frequency of electromagnetic waves (/s or Hz)

f = c / λ

c = speed of light

= 3.10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength

The wavelength(λ) of purple light is 400 x 10⁻⁹ m, so the frequency :

$\tt f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3.10^8~m/s}{4.10^{-7}m}\\\\f=\boxed{\bold{7.5.10^{14}}/s}$

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials. Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are described as "thermal treatment". Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas and heat.

Calculate the enthalpy for the following reaction. During the reaction, the temperature changes from 42.5 C to 37 C. The specifi

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$q = 0.810$ Kj/mol

Its an endothermic reaction

Explanation:

Enthalpy can be evaluated by using following formula -

$q = m * c* \delta T$

where

q is the enthalpy or change in internal energy

m is the mass in kg

c is the specific heat

and $\delta T$ is the change in temperature

Mass of HCl is equal to $36.46$ g/mol

Mass of HCl is equal to $0.03646$ Kg/mol

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get-

$q = 0.03646 * 4.04 * (42.5 - 37)\\q = 0.03646 * 4.04 * 5.5 \\$

$q = 0.810$ Kj/mol

Enthalpy is positive thus it is an endothermic reaction

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen gas according to the following equation: 2H2O2(aq)  2H2O(l) + O2(g) If 31

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

141.89 dm^3

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2H2O2(aq) --------->2H2O(l) + O2(g)

Now , we are told that the mass of hydrogen peroxide decomposed was 315g. Number of moles of hydrogen peroxide in 315g of the substance is given by;

Number of moles= mass/molar mass

Molar mass of hydrogen peroxide= 34.0147 g/mol

Number of moles= 315g/34.0147 g/mol = 9.26 moles of hydrogen hydrogen peroxide.

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of hydrogen peroxide yields 1 mole of oxygen

9.26 moles of hydrogen peroxide yields 9.26 ×1/2 = 4.63 moles of oxygen

From the ideal gas equation;

Volume of the gas V= the unknown

Pressure of the gas P= 0.792 atm

Temperature of the gas= 23°C +273 = 296 K

Number of moles of oxygen = 4.63 moles of oxygen

R= 0.082atmdm^3K-1mol-1

Hence, from PV=nRT

V= nRT/P

V= 4.63 × 0.082 × 296/0.792 = 141.89 dm^3
