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.

What is conductivity? How is it measured?
horrorfan [7]

Conductivity is a measurement of the ability of an aqueous solution to transfer an electrical current.

Explanation:

To calculate the conductivity of a solution you simply multiply the concentration of each ion in solution by its molar conductivity and charge then add these values for all ions in solution.

Both 1,2−dihydronaphthalene and 1,4−dihydronaphthalene may be selectively hydrogenated to 1,2,3,4−tetrahydronaphthalene. One of
pochemuha

Answer:

1,4-dihydro = 113 kJ·mol⁻¹

1,2-dihydro = 101 kJ·mol⁻¹

Explanation:

In 1,4-dihydronaphthalene, the 2,3-double bond is isolated from the benzene ring.

In 1,2-dihydronaphthalene, the 3,4-double bond is conjugated with the benzene ring.

Thus, 1,2-dihydronaphthalene is partially stabilized by resonance interactions between the ring and the double bond (think, styrene).

1,2-Dihydronaphthalene is at a lower energy level because of this stabilization.

The heat of hydrogenation of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene is therefore less than that of the 1,4-isomer when each is hydrogenated to the common product, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene.

1. Which of the following is a correctly written thermochemical equation?
WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

1. Thermochemical equation is balance stoichiometric chemical equation written with the phases of the reactants and products in the brackets along with the enthalpy change of the reaction.

The given correct thermochemical reactions are:

Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3(s),\Delta H = 3,926 kJ&#10;

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2 (g)+4H_2O(l),\Delta H= 2,220 kJ/mol

2. Phase change affect the value of the enthalpy change of the thermochemical equation. This is because change in phase is accompanied by change in energy. For example:

H_2O(s)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{s}=51.1 kJ/mol

H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{v}=40.65 kJ/mol

In both reaction phase of water is changing with change in energy of enthalpy of reaction.

What can be said of a closed system when an exothermic reaction proceeds in an aqueous solution?
lyudmila [28]
An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that dissipates heat as the reaction proceeds. This would mean that in a closed system, when a reaction proceeds and is endothermic, the temperature of the solution  or the system would increase so as to maintain the equilibrium with the whole system.
