Answer:

Reagent A: PBr₃

Reagent B: Mg in Et₂O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, your facing a problem in which a carboxylic acid is produced starting by an alcohol. More specifically, cyclopentanol must react with phosphorous tribromide in order to yield bromocyclopentane which is more likely to produce a carboxylic acid, therefore, reagent A is PBr₃.

On the other hand, by means of the production of the specified product, bromocyclopentane must react with carbon dioxide and magnesium in diethyl ether in acidic media to promote the production of the cyclopentanoic acid via the grignard reaction (substitution of the bromine by the carboxyle group), therefore, reagent B is Mg in Et₂O.

Best regards.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Noble gases are often described as being very stable. Give two points to explain what this means.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Noble Gases are very stable because...

1) Noble Gases have a full octet

2) Low chemical reactivity

Explanation:

This means that is has 8 valence electrons so it won't need any more, so it is less likely to react with other substances.

Use complete sentences to differentiate between acids and bases on the basis of their behavior when dissolved in water. Give an

forsale [732]

Bases and Acids are chemically opposite from each other,and there are multiple ways to distinguish how they react when dissolved in water. One accepted definition is that an acid is any chemical substance that, when it is dissolved in water, creates a solution with hydrogen ion activity greater than pure/neutral water. That is, it donates a proton to the solution. Any substance with a pH less than 7.0 is an acid, and includes substances such as vinegar and lemon juice. By comparison, a base is any chemical substance that, when it is dissolved in water, creates a solution in which has hydrogen ion activity less than pure/neutral water. That is, it accepts protons. Any substance with a pH greater than 7.0 is a base, and includes substances such as ammonia and baking soda.

In a calorimetry experiment, a salt is dissolved in water within an insulating container. The temperature of the solution (surro

Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat released by the solution

= 120 x 3.18 x ( 25 - 14 )

= 4197.6 J

= 4.1976 kJ

This is the heat gain by the salt

so enthalpy change = + 4.1976 kJ

because there is increase in enthalpy

It is endothermic process .

Copper(II) sulfide is formed when copper and sulfur are heated together. In this reaction,

storchak [24]

Answer:

The mass of copper(II) sulfide formed is:

= 81.24 g

Explanation:

The Balanced chemical equation for this reaction is :

$Cu(s) + S\rightarrow CuS$

given mass= 54 g

Molar mass of Cu = 63.55 g/mol

$Moles = \frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

$moles=\frac{54}{63.55}$

Moles of Cu = 0.8497 mol

Given mass = 42 g

Molar mass of S = 32.06 g/mol

$Moles = \frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

$moles=\frac{42}{32.06}$

Moles of S = 1.31 mol

Limiting Reagent : The reagent which is present in less amount and consumed in a reaction

First find the limiting reagent :

$Cu + S\rightarrow CuS$

1 mol of Cu require = 1 mol of S

0.8497 mol of Cu should require = 1 x 0.8497 mol

= 0.8497 mol of S

S present in the reaction Medium = 1.31 mol

S Required = 0.8497 mol

S is present in excess and Cu is limiting reagent

All Cu is consumed in the reaction

Amount Cu will decide the amount of CuS formed

$Cu + S\rightarrow CuS$

1 mole of Cu gives = 1 mole of Copper sulfide

0.8497 mol of Cu = 1 x 0.8497 mole of Copper sulfide

= 0.8497

Molar mass of CuS = 95.611 g/mol

$Moles = \frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

$0.8497 = \frac{given\ mass}{95.611}$

Mass of CuS = 0.8497 x 95.611

= 81.24 g
