Answer:
Explanation:
1. Write the skeleton equation for the half-reaction
NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O
2. Balance all atoms other than H and O
2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O
3. Balance O by adding H₂O molecules to the deficient side.
2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O
4. Balance H by adding H⁺ ions to the deficient side.
2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O
5. Balance charge by adding electrons to the deficient side.
2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8e⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O
The amount of charge required to reduce 2 mol of NO₃⁻ is 8 F
Answer:
The rate determining step depends on the
Explanation:
The rate determining step depends on the mechanism of the reaction. If it proceeds by E1 reaction mechanism, it produces 1-methylcyclohexene while the E3 reaction mechanism gives 3-methylcyclohexene. The rate determining step for E1 is an intermediate that is formed when protonation of the hydroxyl group occurs to form H3O+ followed by electrophilic attack on the carbocation formed to absorb the hydrogen making the carbon atom -CH2 and forming a double bond between.
The E3 mechanism is similar only that the attack on the carbon atom is done at the -C3 instead of -C1.
