Answer:

See below.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethers react with HI at high temperature to produce an alky halide and an alcohol.

R-OR' + HI ⟶ R-I + H-OR'

<em>Benzylic ethers</em> react by an Sₙ1 mechanism by forming the stable benzyl cation.

  1. PhCH₂-OR + HI ⟶ PhCH₂-O⁺(H)R + I⁻    Protonation of the ether
  2. PhCH₂-O⁺(H)R  ⟶ PhCH₂⁺ + HOR          Sₙ1 ionization of oxonium ion
  3. PhCH₂⁺ + I⁻       ⟶ PhCH₂-I                     Nucleophilic attack by I⁻  

If there is excess HI, the alcohol formed in Step 2 is also converted to an alkyl iodide:

ROH +HI ⟶ R-I + H-OH

Thus, benzyl ethyl ether reacts to form benzyl iodide (a) and ethanol (b).

The ethanol reacts with excess HI in an Sₙ2 reaction to form ethyl iodide (c).

Answer:

0.0745 mole of hydrogen gas

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of H₂SO₄ = 0.0745 moles

Number of moles of Li = 1.5107 moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of H₂ produced = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to work from the known specie to the unknown one.

The known specie in this expression is the sulfuric acid,  H₂SO₄. We can compare its number of moles with that of the unknown using a balanced chemical equation.

   Balanced chemical equation:

                    2Li   +     H₂SO₄   →   Li₂SO₄   +   H₂

 From the balanced equation;

     

Before proceeding, we need to obtain the limiting reagent. This is the reagent whose given proportion is in short supply. It determines the extent of the reaction.

           2 mole of Li reacted with 1 mole of  H₂SO₄

          1.5107 mole of lithium will react with \frac{1.5107}{2}  = 0.7554mole of H₂SO₄

But we were given 0.0745 moles,

This suggests that the limiting reagent is the sulfuric acid because it is in short supply;

   

   since 1 mole of sulfuric acid produced 1 mole of hydrogen gas;

    0.0745 mole of sulfuric acid will produce 0.0745 mole of hydrogen gas

At 500K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2O4D2NO2 is 1.5 x 10^3. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction: 6
Veronika [31]

Answer:

K = 2.96x10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

Based on the initial reaction:

N2O4 ⇄ 2NO2; K = 1.5x10³

Using Hess's law, we can multiply this reaction changing K:

3 times this reaction:

3N2O4 ⇄ 6NO2; K = (1.5x10³)³ =3.375x10⁹

The inverse reaction has a K of:

6NO2 ⇄ 3N2O4 K = 1/3.375x10⁹;

<h3>K = 2.96x10⁻¹⁰</h3>

A reaction will most likely occur if the colliding particles have the proper
fenix001 [56]
Answer: a rection will most likely occur if the colliding partilces have the proper orientation and energy.


The reactions occur becasue the molecules collide.


But not all the collisions result in a reaction.


The collisions have to meet some requirements.


Two of the basic requirements is that the collision has enough energy to overcome the activation energy and that the molecules collide in the riight way.


When two molecules react it is necessary that one element of one of the molecules interact when a specific element or group in the other molecule. That is the orientation must be the right one.


Collisions that to not have the proper orientation or enough energy will not cause reaction (changes in the bonds of the molecules).
