Answer: $65.4^0C$

Explanation:

Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:

$K=\frac{3RT}{2}$

R= gas constant

T= temperature in kelvin

From above, it is visible that kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the system. So, if temperature is more, average kinetic energy of the system is more and vice-versa.

a. $18^0C=18+273=291K$

b. $20.4^0C=20.4+273=293.4K$

c. $36.2^0C=36.2+273=309.2K$

d. $65.4^0C=65.4+273=338.4K$

Thus substance at $65.4^0C$ will have greatest kinetic energy.

Which compounds are lewis acids? select all that apply. (ch3ch2)2hc+ cl3c− ch3nh2 bbr3?

alexandr402 [8]

The Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors due to the availability of vacant orbitals they accept electrons from the donor compounds.

$(CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+}$ is a Lewis acid due to the unfilled valence shell on carbon atom (possessing positive charge) it accepts electron readily.
$CCl_{3}^{-}$ is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of negative charge which represents that there are electrons available for donation.
$CH_3NH_2$ is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of lone pair on nitrogen which is easily donated to the acceptors.
$BBr_3$ is a Lewis acid due to the availability of vacant p-orbital on boron atom.

Hence, $(CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+}$ and $BBr_3$ are Lewis acids.

What is a common reason for observing an increased chemical shift of a c-h proton

stira [4]

Deshielding due to an electronegative element close by is the common reason for observing increased chemical shift of a c-h proton

<h3>What is a chemical shift? </h3>

The resonance frequency of a proton in relation to a standard compound is represented by chemical shift. Chemical shift, which is measured in ppm and is represented by the sign (δ), (parts per million).The chemical shift in a proton NMR spectrum provides details about the targeted proton's chemical surroundings. The structure of the investigated substance, especially electronegative components or effects, has a significant impact on the chemical shift value. Electronegative elements' ability to remove electron density from the proton, which raises the chemical shift value, is one explanation for this. The proton is more exposed to the magnetic field that is being applied externally as a result of this process, which is referred to as de-shielding.
