Complete the chemical reaction that occurs when dimethylamine (ch3)2nh reacts with water.

1 answer:

3 0

Dimethyl amine is Base. The basic character of it is due to the presence of lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom. The strength of amines is basically due to the presence of alkyl group attached to nitrogen atom. These alkyl groups donates electron to nitrogen atom hence increasing electron density on nitrogen and increasing its basic character.

When dimethylamine ( Kb = 5.9 × 10⁻⁴) is reacted with water it abstracts proton from water molecule convertion it into Hydroxide Ion (i.e ⁻OH). The reaction is as follow,

(CH₃)₂N + H₂O → (CH₃)₂N⁺H + ⁻OH

Which of the following is a balanced equation? Select one: a. A b. B c. C d. D

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.

Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O

A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag

1 Cu 1

2 Ag 2

2 N 1

3 O 3

The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation

B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2

1 C 1

4 Cl 4

2 O 2

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.

C) 2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2

2 K 2

1 H 4

1 S 1

4 O 4

The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2

4 Al 2

6 O 6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

What can occur in physical change ?

Alexandra [31]

Within a physical change, an element can change forms, such as going from solid to a liquid through melting. Color change can also occur during a physical change. Physical changes are very different from chemical changes. In a chemical change the element itself changes into something else within a reaction, such as combustion (burning).

What’s the difference between an ester and an amide

Rufina [12.5K]

In amides, the carbonyl carbon is bonded to a nitrogen. The nitrogen in an amide can be bonded either to hydrogens, to carbons, or to both. ... Another way of thinking of an ester is that it is a carbonyl bonded to an alcohol. Thioesters are similar to esters, except a sulfur is in place of the oxygen.
