Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as octet rule. That is because octet refers to 8 valence electrons, making a element stable in its outer shell.

Answer : Option C) The Octet Rule

Explanation : Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as Octet Rule.

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb which reflects the observation, that atoms of main-group elements tends to combine in such a way that each atom gets eight electrons in its valence shell, which gives it the same electron configuration as that of a noble gas.

In short, the tendency of an atom to fill its valence shell and attain a stable state it acquires or donates the electron is called as octet rule.

Vitamin C contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When a 1.00 g was combusted, 1.4991 g of CO2 and 0.4092 g of H2O were obta

The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components

The principle of determining empirical formula

Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass

Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{12}{44}\times 1.4991=0.409~g$

Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{2.1}{18}\times 0.4092=0.0455~g$

Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :

$\tt 1-(0.409+0.0455)=0.5455~g$

mol ratio C : H : O =

$\tt \dfrac{0.409}{12}\div \dfrac{0.0455}{1}\div \dfrac{0.5455}{16}\\\\0.0341\div 0.0455\div 0.0341\rightarrow 1\div 1.33\div 1=3\div 4\div 3$

What is the Brønsted-Lowry base in this reaction: NH2−+CH3OH→NH3+CH3O−?(1 point)CH3O−cap c cap h sub 3 cap o raised to the negat

Fynjy0 [20]

In the reaction as follows: NH2- + CH3OH → NH3 + CH3O−, NH2- is the Brønsted-Lowry base.

BRØNSTED-LOWRY BASE:

According to Bronsted-Lowry definition of a base and acid, a base is substance that accepts an hydrogen ion or proton (H+) while an acid is a substance that donates a proton.

According to this reaction given as follows: NH2 + CH3OH → NH3+ CH3O-

NH2- is a reactant that accepts a hydrogen ion (H+) to become NH3+
NH3+CH3OH is a reactant that donates hydrogen ion (H+)

Since NH2- accepts a proton, this means that in the reaction as follows: NH2 + CH3OH → NH3 + CH3O−, NH2- is the Brønsted-Lowry base.

What is the product of the reaction of hydrobromic acid and 2-bromo-1-butene in the presence of acid and ether?

sergejj [24]

Answer: The major product of the reaction between Hydrobromic Acid and 2-bromo-1-butene in the presence of ether and acid is 2,2-dibromobutane.

Explanation:

The mechanism of the reaction is supported by the Markovnikov's rule which explains that in the addition reaction of alkenes by hydrogen-halogen compounds, the incoming halogen substituent goes to the more substituted Carbon. It can also be stated that incoming hydrogen atom goes to the Carbon with more Hydrogen atoms.

The only case when the reverse of Markovnikov's rule takes place is when Hydrogen peroxide is present and the addition reagent is HBr.

This case is not like that and it simply follows the Markovnikov's rule.

I'll add an attachment of the reaction to this now.
