Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

A sample of oxygen gas occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm. If temperature is held constant, what will be the volume
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: The volume of the oxygen gas at a pressure of 2.50 atm will be 1.44 L

At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts, then

PV = c

Thus, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, and if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

It is not necessary to know the exact value of the constant c to be able to use this law since for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, it is satisfied that,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and P₂ as well as V₁ and V₂ correspond to pressures and volumes for two different states of the gas in question.

In this case the first oxygen gas state corresponds to P₁ = 1.00 atm and V₁ = 3.60 L while the second state would be P₂ = 2.50 atm and V₂ = y. Substituting in the previous equation,

1.00 atm x 3.60 L = 2.50 atm x y

We cleared y to find V₂,

V₂ = y = \frac{1.00 atm x 3.60 L}{2.50 atm} = 1.44 L

Then, <u>the volume of the oxygen gas at a pressure of 2.50 atm will be 1.44 L</u>

Answer:

  1. Elimination
  2. Elimination
  3. Zaitsev
  4. Zaitsev
  5. Carbocation

Explanation:

  • The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
  • The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
  • The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION

Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents  from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism

Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds
