Answer: Option C - Radical
Explanation:
A radical is a chemical specie carrying a lone electron. In the halogenation of alkanes: take Methane CH4 as the alkane, and Chlorine Cl as the halogen.
The step by step halogenation process is as follows:
CH4 + Cl2 --> CH3• + HCl + Cl•
CH3• + Cl2 --> CH3Cl + HCl
CH3Cl + Cl2 --> CH2Cl2 + HCl + Cl•
CH2Cl2 + Cl2 --> CHCl3 + HCl
CHCl3 + Cl2 --> CCl4 + HCl + Cl•
Chlorine molecule attack methane knocking off an hydrogen atom from it and forming a methyl radical (CH3•), that is subsequently attack by another chlorine molecule. This cycle repeats itself, until no hydrogen atom is available for substitution by the highly reactive chlorine radical.
Note: no cation or anion is formed in the halogenation process
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the <em>rate constant</em> has units of <em>s⁻¹</em>, you can tell that the order of the reaction is 1.
Hence, the rate law is:
![r=d[A]/dt=-k[A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3Dd%5BA%5D%2Fdt%3D-k%5BA%5D)
Solving that differential equation yields to the well known equation for the rates of a first order chemical reaction:
![[A]=[A]_0e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D%5BA%5D_0e%5E%7B-kt%7D)
You know [A]₀, k, and t, thus you can calculate [A].
![[A]=0.548M\times e^{-3.6\cdot 10^{-4}/s\times99.2s}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D0.548M%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-3.6%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-4%7D%2Fs%5Ctimes99.2s%7D)
![[A]=0.529M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D0.529M)
It is Acid Rain since animal activity and plant groth are not types of chemical weathering definetely with frost wedging being physical weathering.
Answer:
<u>D) A base.</u>
Explanation:
A base in chemistry is something that is slippery, hence it being a soap.
