Compounds X and Y are both C6H13Cl compounds formed in the radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane. Both X and Y undergo base-pr

omoted E2 elimination to give a mixture of alkenes.In water X and Y each react to form a mixture of substitution and elimination products; however, X reacts much faster than does Y.What is the structure of Y?

Answer:

Y is a 3-chloro-3-methylpentane.

The structure is shown in the figure attached.

Explanation:

The radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane can lead to a tertiary substituted carbon (Y) and to a secondary one (X).

The E2 elimination mechanism, as shown in the figure, will happen with a simulyaneous attack from the base and elimination of the chlorine. This means that primary and secondary substracts undergo the E2 mechanism faster than tertiary substracts.

1. When an acid reacts with a base, what compounds are formed? (1 point) a salt only water only metal oxides only a salt and wat
scoundrel [369]

Answer: 1) only a salt and water

An acid and base reacts together to undergo neutralization to form salt and water.

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

where HCl is an acid and NaOH is a base to form salt (NaCl) and water (H_2O).

Answer: 2) The formula of the hydrogen ion is often written as H^+.

All acids dissociate in water to give  H^+ ions.

Answer: 3) Arrhenius acids are substances that ionizes to yield protons in aqueous solution.

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-

Arrhenius bases are substance that ionizes to yield hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.

NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-

Answer: 4) A conjugate acid base pair  transfers hydrogen ion.

CH_3COO^-+H_2O\rightarrow CH_3COOH+H_3O^+

Here CH_3COO^- accepts a proton and thus act as a base and the corresponding CH_3COOH is its conjugate acid.

Answer: 5) Bronsted Lowry acid is a substance that donates protons.  Bronsted Lowry base is a substance that accepts protons.

NH_4^+ and NH_3

NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+

NH_3 is a acid which accepts proton and thus acts as base to form conjugate acid NH_4^+.

What would cause the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%?
Roman55 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

All of the limiting reagent gets used up causes the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is rare for a chemical reaction to occur with the right proportion of reactants that reacts together to form resultant products.During this process, one of the reactants gets used up faster resulting in the lower percent yield. Such product that gets used up faster is called limiting reagent. This limiting reagent is responsible for lowering the percentage yield in the chemical reaction.

The limiting reactant can be found easily by calculating the yield of each reactant assuming they are consumed completely. The reactant which has least yield is the limiting reactant of the reaction.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction occurring in an electrolytic cell:
Vikki [24]
The answer is (4) at the cathode, where reduction occurs. The Na+ gains one electron and become Na(l). So the reaction occurs at cathode and is reduction reaction.

7. List all of the variables that you controlled or kept the same.<br>Salt water​
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Temperature is a common type of controlled variable. If a temperature is held constant during an experiment, it is controlled. Other examples of controlled variables could be an amount of light, using the same type of glassware, constant humidity, or duration of an experiment.
