Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products.

Chemistry

UNO [17]3 years ago

4 0

Explanation:

Dehydrohalogenation reactions occurs as elimination reactions through the following mechanism:

Step 1: A strong base(usually KOH) removes a slightly acidic hydrogen proton from the alkyl halide.

Step 2: The electrons from the broken hydrogen‐carbon bond are attracted toward the slightly positive carbon (carbocation) atom attached to the chlorine atom. As these electrons approach the second carbon, the halogen atom breaks free.

However, elimination will be slower in the exit of Hydrogen atom at the C2 and C3 because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group.

Elimination of the hydrogen from the methyl group is easier.

Thus, the major product will A

Which of the following is an example of a model? PV=nRT, Geographical map, I believe that aliens exist, all of the above.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: The correct answer is geographical map.

Explanation:

Model is defined as the three dimensional representation of a proposed structure in a smaller scale.

For the given options:

Option 1: PV = nRT

This is a proposed law. This law is known as ideal gas law. A law is defined as the rule which defined a correct procedure. For any gas behaving ideally, this law is used.

Option 2: Geographical map

Map is defined as the diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea which also shows physical features, roads, cities etc..

A 3-D model can be prepared for geographical map.

Option 3: I believe that aliens exist

This is a hypothetical statement. It is a smart guess by the means of set of assumptions and observations. For its validation, we need to conduct some experiments.

Hence, the correct answer is geographical map.

Sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) react to form the liquid product of sulfur trioxide (SO3). How much sulfur dioxide

taurus [48]

1) Balanced chemical equation:

2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2SO3 (l)

2) Molar ratios

2 mol SO2 : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol SO3

3) Convert 6.00 g O2 to moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles = 6.00 g / 32 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O2.

4) Use proportions with the molar ratios

=> 2 moles SO2 / 1 mol O2 = x / 0.1875 mol O2

=> x = 0.1875 mol O2 * 2 mol SO2 / 1 mol O2 = 0.375 mol SO2.

5) Convert 0.375 mol SO2 to grams

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass SO2 = 32 g/mol + 2*16 g/mol = 64 g/mol

=> mass SO2 = 0.375 mol * 64 g / mol = 24.0 g

Answer: 24.0 g of SO2 are needed to react completely with 6.00 g O2.

Which is a type of tectonic plate boundary?

UNO [17]

There are three types of tectonic plate boundary. These are divergent, convergent and transform plate boundaries. The divergent boundary is a fault where two plate move away from each other. Convergent is when two separate plates push each other. Lastly, transform plate boundary is when two plates slide past each other.

A gas was held at a constant temperature in a closed system. The initial

zaharov [31]

Answer:

1.84 atm

Explanation:

P2=V1P1/V2

Temp is irrelevant because it is constant, so all you have to do is rearrange the ideal gas law.

You can check this by knowing P and V at constant T have an inverse relationship and therefore makes this the correct answer.

- Hope that helps! Please let me know if you need further explanation.
