Answer:

1,070.41 grams of DDT will be formed .Explanation:

1) 2 C_6H_5Cl + C_2HOCl_3\rightarrow C_{14}H_9Cl_5 + H_2O

Moles of chlorobenzene = \frac{1197 g}{112.5 g/mol}=10.64 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of chloro benzene reacts with 1 mole of chloral . Then 10.64 moles of chloro benzene will react with :

\frac{1}{2}\times 10.64 mol=5.32 mole of chloral

2) Moles of chloral = \frac{456 g}{147.5 g/mol}=3.0915 mol

According to reaction, 1 moles of chloral reacts with 2 mole of chlorobenzene . Then 3.0915 moles of chloral will react with :

\frac{2}{1}\times 3.0915 mol=6.1830 mol of chloro benzene

As we can see that chloral is in limiting amount and chloro benzene is in excessive amount. So, amount of DDT will depend upon amount of chloral.

According to reaction, 1 mole chloral gives 1 mole DDT.Then 3.0195 moles of chloral will give :

\frac{1}{1}\times 3.0195 mol=3.0195 mol

Mass of 3.0195 moles of DTT :

3.0195 mol × 354.5 g/mol = 1,070.41 g

1,070.41 grams of DDT will be formed .

Which elements are the most reactive and why?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Fluorine is identified as the most reactive nonmetal and the most electro-negative element in the periodic table, making it the strongest oxidizing agent. Caesium is the most reactive metal in the periodic table, so much that working with this metal often ends in explosions!

Hydrogen is a very reactive gas, and the alkali metals are even more reactive. In fact, they are the most reactive metals and, along with the elements in group 17, are the most reactive of all elements.

Hope that helps.

What class of organic product results when 1-heptyne is reacted with disiamylborane followed by treatment with basic hydrogen pe
yuradex [85]

Answer:

aldehyde

Explanation:

Aldehydes are a large class of reactive organic compounds (R-CHO) having a carbonyl functional group attached to one hydrocarbon radical and a hydrogen atom.

So, when terminal alkynes, for example, 1-heptyne react on Hydroboration oxidation(i.e. disiamylborane followed by treatment with basic hydrogen peroxide), the formation of aldehyde occurs.

the reaction a(g) ⇌ b(g) has an equilibrium constant that is less than one. what can you conclude about ∆g° for the reaction?
-Dominant- [34]

For this reaction: ΔG⁰>0.

Balanced chemical reaction A(g) ⇌ (g)

ΔG° indicates that all reactants and products are in their standard states.

ΔG° = R·T·lnK.

ΔG° is Gibbs free energy

T is the temperature on the Kelvin scale

R is the ideal gas constant

The equilibrium constant (K) is the ratio of the partial pressures or the concentrations of products to reactants.

Gibbs free energy (G) determines if reaction will proceed spontaneously, nonspontaneously or in equilibrium processes.

If K < 1, than ΔG° > 0.

Reactants (in this example A) are favored over products (in this example B) at equilibrium.
