A hypothetical main group element E reacts with chlorine to form an ionic compound with the formula ECl. The element is a member

of what group in the periodic table.
1A, 6A, 2A, 3A, or 7A?

It would be 1A bc then the +1 charge will cancel out chlorine’s -1 charge

The work function of a silver surface is 4.73 eV. What would happen if the silver is hit with a photon with 2.5 eV of energy?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:Nothing, the photon just bounces off the surface.

Explanation:

According to Albert Einstein, a photoelectron can only be emitted from a metal surface when the energy of the incident photon is greater than the work function of the metal.

In the scenario described in the question, the work function of the metal is greater than the energy of the photon. Hence, the photon just bounces off the metal surface without emitting any electron.

Propose a mechanism for the following reaction.

raketka [301]

First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.

Yeast converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide during a process known as anaerobic fermentation. The chemical reaction is

Korolek [52]

Answer:

102g

Explanation:

To find the mass of ethanol formed, we first need to ensure that we have a balanced chemical equation. A balanced chemical equation is where the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation (reactants and products). This is useful as only when a chemical equation is balanced, we can understand the relationship of the amount (moles) of reactant and products, or to put it simply, their relationship with one another.

In this case, the given equation is already balanced.

$\tex{C_6H_{12}O_6} \longrightarrow 2 \ C_2H_6O + 2 \ CO_2$

From the equation, the amount of ethanol produced is twice the amount of yeast present, or the same amount of carbon dioxide produced. Do note that amount refers to the number of moles here.

Mole= Mass ÷Mr

Mass= Mole ×Mr

<u>Method 1: using the </u><u>mass of glucose</u>

Mr of glucose

= 6(12) +12(1) +6(16)

= 180

Moles of glucose reacted

= 200 ÷180

= $\frac{10}{9}$ mol

Amount of ethanol formed: moles of glucose reacted= 2: 1

Amount of ethanol

= $2(\frac{10}{9} )$

= $\frac{20}{9}$ mol

Mass of ethanol

= $\frac{20}{9} \times[2(12)+6+16]$

= $\frac{20}{9}(46)$

= 102 g (3 s.f.)

<u>Method 2: using </u><u>mass of carbon dioxide</u><u> produced</u>

Mole of carbon dioxide produced

= 97.7 ÷[12 +2(16)]

= 97.7 ÷44

= $\frac{977}{440}$ mol

Moles of ethanol: moles of carbon dioxide= 1: 1

Moles of ethanol formed= $\frac{977}{440}$ mol

Mass of ethanol formed

= $\frac{977}{440} \times[2(12)+6+16]$

= 102 g (3 s.f.)

Thus, 102 g of ethanol are formed.
