<span>During cooling, the kinetic energy of the molecules falls, be</span>cause, when cooling a substace, the particles (molecules) slow down.


The kinetic energy is related to the speed, such that the lower speed the lower kinetic energy.


Particles can translate and vibrate, in the case of gases and liquids, and only vibrate (in the case of solids).


As a substance is cooled the particles get closer and the motion (translation and vibration), slows down. You can see by the equation of the kinetic energy (KE):


KE = [1/2]mass×(speed)² that as the speed is lower the KE will also be lower.


Additionally, when the cooling does not drive a change of phase (gas to liquid, liquid to solid, or solid to gas), it drives a decrease on temperature. In this case you should know that the temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy: the lower the temperature, the lower the kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy if an energy in motion. Molecules in a substance has varying kinetic energies because they move at different speeds. During cooling heat is released to the environment.  Thus, when heat is being released, the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.

Which isomer of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster when refluxed with potassium tert-butoxide?Draw the structure of t
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The reaction of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane with  potassium tert-butoxide is an elimination reaction that occurs by E2 mechanism.

The E2 reaction proceeds faster when the hydrogens are in an antiperiplanar position at an angle of 180 degrees.

This is only attainable in the trans isomer of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane. Hence trans 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster with potassium tert-butoxide

Consider the following chemical reaction: CO (g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g) At equilibrium in a particular experiment, the concentratio
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of CH₃OH is 0.28 M

Explanation:

For the reaction: CO (g) + 2H₂(g) ↔ CH₃OH(g)

The equilibrium constant (Keq) is given for the following expresion:

Keq= \frac{(CH3OH)}{(CO) x (H2)^{2}} =14.5

Where (CH3OH), (CO) and (H2) are the molar concentrations of each product or reactant.

We have:

(CH3OH)= ?

(CO)= 0.15 M

(H2)= 0.36 M

So, we only have to replace the concentrations in the equilibrium constant expression to obtain the missing concentration we need:

14.5= \frac{(CH_{3}OH) }{(0.15 M) x (0.36 M) ^{2} }

14.5 x (0.15 M) x (0.36)^{2} = (CH₃OH)

0.2818 M = (CH₃OH)
