<h3>What are decomposition reactions?</h3>

Decomposition reactions are type of reactions in which a compound is broken down into two or more products.

When a soluble substance or a compound is dissolved in water it forms an aqueous solution.
When this happens the soluble compound such as ionic compounds ionizes to form ions.
This is an example of decomposition reaction, since the ionic compound decomposes it ions making it.
For example, sodium sulfide is an ionic compound that ionizes in water to form sodium and sulfide ions.

That is;

Na₂S(s) → 2Na⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq)

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?

zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>

In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

What is the overall energy transformation in a coal-fired power plant?.

polet [3.4K]

Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.

Hope this helps.

Which statement best describes the amount of catalyst that remains at the end of a reaction?

Ivenika [448]

I believe the correct answer is C. The amount of catalyst is the same at the end as at the beginning of the reaction. Catalysts can't be consumed by the reaction thus is not D.

Answer:

A & E

Explanation:

Salt water is a hypertonic solution, meaning it extracts water from whatever is placed in it. When a carrot loses water, it will most likely shrivel up and become limp.
