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.

In a chemical reaction, exactly 2 mol of substance A react to produce exactly 3 mol of substance B. 2 A ⟶ 3 B How many molecules

Harman [31]

Answer:

There will be produced 1.71 moles of B which contain 1.03×10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

The example reaction is:

2A → 3B

2 moles of A produce 3 moles of B

If we have the mass of A, we convert it to moles and then, we make the rule of three: 29.2 g / 25.6g/mol = 1.14 moles

Therefore 2 moles of A produce 3 moles of B

1.14 moles of A will produce (1.14 . 3) / 2 = 1.71 moles of B are produced

Now we can determine, the number of molecules

1 mol has NA molecules (6.02×10²³)

1.71 moles have (1.71 . NA) = 1.03×10²⁴ molecules

sweet-ann [11.9K]

An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal carbonyl group (C = O). This functional group, consisting of a carbon atom bound to a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom via double bond (the general formula: CHO) is called the aldehyde group. In a reaction of the addition of alcohol to the carbonyl group, it forms hemiacetals.
On the picture attached it is shown the reaction of alcohol addition to the carbonyl group with the major organic product <span>formed in the reaction.</span>

How many moles of Calcium Oxide are needed to produce 4 moles of Calcium Hydroxide?

Tpy6a [65]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

CaO: 1 mole
H₂O: 1 mole
Ca(OH)₂: 1 mole

<h3>Moles of CaO required</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by stoichiometric reaction 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ is produced by 1 mole of CaO, 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are produced by how many moles of CaO?

$moles of CaO=\frac{2 moles of Ca(OH)_{2}x1 mol of CaO }{1 mole of Ca(OH)_{2}}$

moles of CaO= 2 moles

Finally, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.
