Answer:

The correct answer is;

b involves removing and refining waxy hydrocarbons called kerogen

Explanation:

Shale oil deposits are present in the United States in the Green River formation in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado and in the Devonian Oil  shales in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana.

Shale oil has boosted crude oil production since 2014 and the United states  is presently one of the world's largest producers crude-oil.

Kerogen, found in oil shale is treated to produce shale oil with about 6.05 trillion barrels of oil in place globally.

The most common cooling mechanism for cloud formation is ________.
KatRina [158]
The answer is "Rising and expanding air or atmosphere cooling".
To form a cloud the air must be cooled to the temperature of dew point. when there is expansion of air, it cools to the dew point and thus the formation of cloud happens. This process is very common and used for the formation of clouds.

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer:</u> Pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

  • <u>For a:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For b:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

  • <u>For c:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For d:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For e:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For f:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Draw the alkene formed when 1-heptyne is treated with hbr in the presence of peroxide.
Nimfa-mama [501]
<h2>Heptene formed is -</h2><h2>CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH=CHBr</h2>

Explanation:

The two possibilities when the peroxide is not present

  • CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-C≡CH +HBr → CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CBr=CH_{2}

  • CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CBr=CH_2 + HBr →CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CBr_2-CH_3

In presence peroxide,

CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-C≡CH+ HBr →CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH=CHBr

  • When peroxides are present in the reaction mixture, hydrogen bromide adds to the triple bond of heptane with regioselectivity.
  • This reaction is opposite to that of Markovnikov's rule which says that when asymmetrical alkene reacts with a protic acid HX, then the hydrogen of an acid is attached to the carbon with more in number of hydrogen substituents, and the halide (X) group is attached to the carbon with more in number of substituents of alkyl.
  • One mole of HBr adds to one mole of 1-heptane.
  • The structure of heptene formed is -

CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH=CHBr

When a piece of solid phosphorus is added to a flask containing chlorine gas, heat is evolved?
Sav [38]
White phosphorus burns spontaneously in chlorine to produce a mixture of two chlorides, phosphorus (ii) chloride and phosphorus(v) chloride and heat is evolved. Phosphorus (iii) chloride is a colorless fuming liquid: 
P4 + 6Cl2 = 4PCl3
Phosphorus (v) chloride is an off-white solid
P4 +10Cl2 = 4PCl5
