s the purpose of the CaCl2 drying tube? What chemical reaction is it preventing (please supply a mechanism).

Chemistry
1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A drying tube prevents moisture from contaminating the reactants. The drying tube contains CaCl2 a hygroscopic material whose function is to absorb the moisture so that it does not react with the Grignard reagent. Without the desiccating action of CaCl2, moisture will enter the reaction chamber,contaminating the reactants.

If water reacts with the Grignard reagent, an alkane is formed. The mechanism of this reaction is shown in the image attached. R here represents the alkyl moiety of the Grignard reagent.

An archer pulls her bowstring back 0.370 m by exerting a force that increases uniformly from zero to 264 N. (a) What is the equi
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

713.51 N/m

Explanation:

Hook's Law: This law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension in an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force.

From hook's law,

F = ke ...........................Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the bowstring, e = Extension/compression of the bowstring, k = Spring constant of the bow.

Make k the subject of the equation,

k = F/e ............................ Equation 2

Given: F = 264 N, e = 0.37 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 264/0.37

k = 713.51 N/m

Hence the spring constant of the bow  = 713.51 N/m

Consider a 1260-kg automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 km/h. If the position of the car is known to w
-BARSIC- [3]
The expected speed is v = 85.5 km/h
 v = 85.5 km/h = (85.5 km/h)*(0.2778 (m/s)/(km/h)) = 23.75 m/s

If there is an uncertainty of 2 meters in measuring the position, then within a 1-second time interval:
The lower measurement for the speed is v₁ = 21.75 m/s,
The upper measurement for the speed is v₂ = 25.75 m/s.
The range of variation is
Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 4 m/s

The uncertainty in measuring the speed is
Δv/v = 4/23.75 = 0.1684 = 16.84%

Answer: 16.8%

The lewis dot notation for two atoms is shown. What is represented by this notation? K loses one portion to CI, K gains one port
telo118 [61]

Answer:

K loses one electron to CI

Explanation:

The lewis electron dot notation shows only the chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots to represent the valence electrons.

  We have atom of K with one valence electrons

   Cl with 7 valence electrons

For an electrostatic attraction to occur, both particles must be charged. To do this, one of the species must lose an electron, and the other gains it.

This will make both species attain a stable octet;

   Hence, K will lose 1 electron and Cl will gain the electrons.

True or False <br> Hypoxia results from higher oxygen levels.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure reduces the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore leading to Hypoxia. Higher altitues contribute.
