Acetic acid activates the bromine and makes it a better electrophile.
<h3>What is bromination?</h3>
When a substance undergoes bromination, bromine is added to the compound as a result of the chemical reaction. After bromination, the result will have different properties from the initial reactant.
<h3>Why is 15M acetic acid used as a solvent for bromination?</h3>
DCM (dichloromethane) requires more time. Acetic acid has protons that can give one of the Br (bromine) a positive charge and activate it. There is a brief loss of aromaticity that calls for high energy activation.

Answer:
Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

Answer:
Cotton is the world's most widely used natural fibre and still the undisputed "king" of the global textiles industry.
Explanation:
Place a burning splint near the opening of a test tube. If a popping noise occurs, it's probably hydrogen. Place a glowing splint in the test tube, and if it reignites, it could be oxygen. Place a burning splint into a test tube, and if it goes out, it could be carbon dioxide.
Answer:
16.9g
Explanation:Cu+2AgNO3→2Ag+Cu(NO3)2
Cu will likely have a +2 oxidation state. It is higher in the activity series than Ag, so it is a stronger reducing agent and will reduce Ag in a displacement reaction. Then you need to balance the coefficients knowing than NO3 is -1 and Ag is +1.
Then to calculate the theoretical yield you need to compare moles of the reactants:
m(Cu)=5g
M(Cu)=63.55
n(Cu)=5/63.55=0.0787
By comparing coefficients you require twice as much silver: 0.157mol
n(Ag)=0.157
M(Ag)=107.86
m(Ag)=0.157x107.86=16.9g
Hence, the theoretical yield of this reaction would be 16.9g
