Answer:

The intermediates in this reaction are Cl and CCl₃.

Explanation:

  • To indicate the intermediate in this reaction, we should firstly define the intermediate.
  • The intermediate is the species that produced within the steps of the reaction and consumed in the later step/s and does not appear in the overall reaction (<em>neither reactants nor products</em>).
  • The mechanism of the reaction contains 3 steps:
  1. Cl₂ ↔ 2Cl
  2. Cl + CHCl₃ → HCl + CCl₃
  3. Cl + CCl₃ → CCl₄
  • The overall reaction is: Cl₂ + CHCl₃ → HCl + CCl₄
  • So, the intermediates in this reaction are Cl and CCl₃.
  • Thus, 2 moles of Cl is produced in the first step and consumed in the second and third steps.
  • 1 mole of CCl₃ is produced in the second step and consumed in the third step.

Solve and round to the correct number of significant figures: 129 ÷ 29.20
Scilla [17]

4.42

Because when you divide 129/29.20, you get a long string of numbers. 4.417808219178082...

So you round to the significant figure which in this case is 2 decimal places because 29.20 has 2 decimal places.

A gas mixture contains HBr, NO2, and C2H6 at STP. If a tiny hole is made in the container, which gas will effuse fastest? NO2 C2
Anarel [89]

Answer:

C2H6

Explanation:

Let us first consider the molar Masses of each gas

HBr - 80.91 g/mol

NO2 - 46.0055 g/mol

C2H6 - 30.07 g/mol

We must remember that the greater the molar mass of a gas the lesser its velocity and average kinetic energy.

Looking at the gases listed, C2H6 have the highest average kinetic energy at this temperature since it has the lowest molecular mass. This reasoning is directly derived from Graham's law of diffusion in gases.

Hence C2H6 will effuse fastest when a hole is made in the container. It also possess the greatest average kinetic energy because it has the lowest molecular mass.

What is the first step in the scientific method? A. form a hypothesis B. illustrate the process C. observe and ask questions D.
Tom [10]
The answer would be C) Observe and ask questions because if we do process of elimination we see that drawing conclusions is NOT the first step, forming a hypothesis and illustrating the process is part of the method, but NOT the first step.
