HBr can be added to an alkene in the presence of peroxides, R-O-O-R. What role do peroxides play in this reaction

Chemistry

Scilla [17]3 years ago

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.

For the reaction, 2Cr2+ + Cl2(g) ---> 2Cr3+ + 2Cl- Ecell (standard conditions) = 1.78V
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Eºcell = -1.78 V

Explanation:

The Eº cell is an intensive property, i.e they do not depend on the quantity of material present and the desired reaction in our problem  is exactly half the reverse of the one given, the Eºcell will then  be the negative of the first then Eºcell is -1.78 V and the redox reaction will be non-spontaneous as opposed to the first.

In humans, infections by fungi and protists are usually more difficult to treat than bacteria infections. Suggest an explanation
Basile [38]
<span>Fungal diseases are difficult to treat mainly because they are eukaryotic organisms just like us humans, and therefore have less differences for drugs to target without harming the human body as well. Most antibiotics target e.g. the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial (a prokaryote) cell wall, which is a safe target since eukaryotic cells do not have equivalent structures. Similarly many differences in metabolic pathways between humans and prokaryotes is often targeted by antibiotics, but metabolism of fungi and humans is much more uniform, and hence it is difficult to exclusively target the fungi only.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Calculate the mole fraction of kbr (molar mass 119.00 g/mol) in a solution made by dissolving 0.30 g kbr in 0.400 l of H2O (d =

The mole fraction of KBr in the solution is 0.0001

<h3>How to determine the mole of water</h3>

We'll begin by calculating the mass of the water. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Volume of water = 0.4 L = 0.4 × 1000 = 400 mL
  • Density of water = 1 g/mL
  • Mass of water =?

Density = mass / volume

1 = Mass of water / 400

Croiss multiply

Mass of water = 1 × 400

Mass of water = 400 g

Finally, we shall determine the mole of the water

  • Mass of water = 400 g
  • Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol
  • Mole of water = ?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of water = 400 / 18.02

Mole of water = 22.2 moles

<h3>How to de terminethe mole of KBr</h3>
  • Mass of KBr = 0.3 g
  • Molar mass of KBr = 119 g/mol
  • Mole of KBr = ?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of KBr = 0.3 / 119

Mole of KBr = 0.0025 mole

<h3>How to determine the mole fraction of KBr</h3>
  • Mole of KBr = 0.0025 mole
  • Mole of water = 22.2 moles
  • Total mole = 0.0025 + 22.2 = 22.2025 moles
  • Mole fraction of KBr =?

Mole fraction = mole / total mole

Mole fraction of KBr = 0.0025 / 22.2025

Mole fraction of KBr = 0.0001
