As noted in Assignment 1.4.1., alkylation of benzene with 1-chlorobutane in the presence of AlCl3 gives both butylbenzene and (1

-methylpropyl)benzene as products. Propose a route to butylbenzene from benzene that does not also give the (1-methylpropyl)benzene side-product.

Answer:

Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃

Explanation:

The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.

BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:

2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene

butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)

Why is it impossible to ever prove that a hypothesis is true?
maria [59]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Hypothesis have to be based on previous knowledge and have to be able to be tested but the problem is most hypothesis can’t be explained so it’s impossible to prove a hypothesis correct because science uses inductive reasoning

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound XCl_{2}, it can be broken down into X^{2+} and 2Cl^{-}. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

How many milligrams of product can be produced from the complete Diels-Alder reaction of 180. mg of anthracene and 100. mg of ma
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: It will be produced 276,3 mg of product

Explanation: The reaction of anthracene (C14H10) and maleic anhydride (C4H2O3) produce a compound named 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic anhydride (C18H12O3), as described below:

C14H10 + C4H2O3 → C18H12O3

The reaction is already balanced, which means to produce 1 mol of C18H12O3 is necessary 1 mol of anthracene and 1 mol of maleic anhydride.

1 mol of C14H10 equals 178,23 g. As it is used 180 mg of that reagent, we have 0,001 mol of anthracene. With it, the reaction produces 0,001 mol of C18H12O3.

As 1 mol of C18H12O3 equals 276,3 g, the mass produced is 276,3 mg.
