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.

Which statement below is true?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

a) At a given temperature, C₂H₆ has a higher vapor pressure than C₄H₁₀.

Explanation:

<em>Which statement below is true? </em>

<em>a) At a given temperature, C₂H₆ has a higher vapor pressure than C₄H₁₀.  </em>TRUE. C₂H₆ has a lower molar mass than C₄H₁₀ and a higher vapor pressure at most temperatures.

<em>b) The strongest intermolecular attractive forces present in liquid CCl₄ are dipole-dipole forces.</em>  FALSE. CCl₄ is nonpolar, so the strongest intermolecular forces are dispersion forces.

<em>c) HCl has a higher boiling point than LiCl.</em>  FALSE. LiCl (ionic compound) has a higher boiling point than HCl (covalent compound).

<em>d) H₂O has a greater polarizability than H₂Se.</em>  FALSE. Se has a larger atomic radius than O which is why H₂Se has a greater polarizability than H₂O.

<em>e) In general, the stronger the intermolecular attractive forces, the lower the ∆Hºvap.</em> FALSE. In general, the stronger the intermolecular attractive forces, the higher the ∆Hºvap.
