Cork floats in water because the cork weighs less than the amount of water that it would have to push up to sink. This basically says that since cork is less dense than water, it floats.

Give the structure of the principal organic product formed by free-radical bromination of 2,2,4−trimethylpentane.
Fudgin [204]

the principal organic product formed by free-radical bromination of 2,2,4−trimethylpentane is 2-bromo-2,4,4-trimethylpentane.

what is free radical halogenation?

A substitution reaction in which a hydrogen atom is replaced with a halogen atom, via a free radical reaction mechanism. when this reaction is carrid out by bromine radical, it is called free radicle bromination. When bromine (Br{2}) treated with light (hν) it comes to homolytic cleavage of the Br-Br bond and give rise to bromine radicles.

free-radical bromination of 2,2,4−trimethylpentane

Bromination of an alkane includes the substitution of a bromine atom for a hydrogen atom. The following stages will be taken by 2,2,4-trimethylpentane during this reaction:

Initiation reaction:  The production of a bromine free radical requires the initiation of heat or light.

Br - Br ⇒ 2Br·

Propagation: This reaction relies heavily on hydrogen. This reaction is impossible if hydrogen is not present. Because tertiary free radicals are more stable than secondary and primary free radicals, they are favoured in this reaction.

Termination: The remaining free radical of bromide reacts with the tertiary free radical of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane to form 2-bromo-2,4,4-trimethylpentane.

the principal organic product formed by free-radical bromination of 2,2,4−trimethylpentane is 2-bromo-2,4,4-trimethylpentane.

A sample of methane gas has a volume of 10 l at a pressure of 1.5 atm and a temperature of 20 °c. what volume does the gas occup
a_sh-v [17]
We can use combined gas laws to solve for the volume of the gas
 \frac{PV}{T}
where P - pressure, V - volume , T - temperature and k - constant
\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
T1 - temperature in Kelvin - 20 °C + 273 = 293 K
T2 - 40 °C + 273 = 313 K
substituting the values 
\frac{1.5 atm*10L}{293 K} =  \frac{0.9 atm*V}{313K}
V = 17.8 L
volume of the gas is 17.8 L
