Answer:

The peroxide initiates the free radical reaction

Explanation:

The addition of HBr to alkene in the presence of peroxides occurs via a free radical mechanism.

The organic peroxide acts as the initiator of the free radical reaction. The organic free radical interacts with HBr to produce a bromine free radical which now interacts with the alkene and the propagation steps continue until it is terminated by the coupling of two free radicals.

The peroxide effect leads to anti-Markovnikov addition.

A block of iron has a mass of 150 g and a volume of 20 ml. What is the density of iron? *

shtirl [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 7.50 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass of iron = 150 g

volume = 20 mL

We have

$density = \frac{150}{20} = \frac{15}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as
