It's because the Law of Conservation of Mass WILL NOT be followed if, from SO2 and water, sulfuric acid is formed. Making a balanced chemical reaction is not possible, no matter what you do. To obtain or make sulfuric acid, SO2 still needs to be oxidized further to SO3.

Consider a disubstituted aromatic compound. The parent name is benzene and there is a chloro and bromo substituent. Disubstitute

Marina86 [1]

Answer:The correct names for the structure are:

--> 1. 1-bromo-3-chlorobenzene.

--> 3. meta-bromochlorobenzene.

--> 6. m-bromochlorobenzene.

Explanation:

Benzene is the simplest member of the aromatic hydrocarbons. It has a ring structure consisting of six carbon and six hydrogen atoms. This equally means that a benzene can have up to six substituents. One of the chemical properties is that benzene and other members of its series undergo substitution reaction whereby one or more of its six hydrogen atoms is replaced by monoatomic reagents.

Disubstituted benzene consists of two substituents which are described based on either numerical locants or specific words for the three possible forms.

The numerical locant method are used the same naming substitutes of other hydrocarbons. From the question, the numerical locant method was derived through using the following steps:

--> the functional group is benzene

--> there are two substituents which includes bromine( written as bromo) and chlorine ( written as chloro)

--> while placing the number, it's done alphabetically ('1-bromo' comes before '3-chloro') in a clockwise manner. This is to give chorine the lowest locant number.

The second naming method for a disubstituted benzene is the the ortho-, meta-, para- (or their singel letter equivalent) nomenclature method. This is only used for benzene structures.

--> ortho or O : this is used when the substituents are close to each other in the benzene ring.

--> meta or (m) : This is used when the substituents are separated by one carbon in the benzene ring.

--> para or (p): This is used when the substituents are across each other in the benzene ring

From the question, the bromine substituent is separated from the chlorine by one carbon atom, therefore it's meta-bromochlorobenzene or m-bromochlorobenzene.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In science, we like to develop explanations that we can use to predict the outcome of events and phenomena. Try to develop an explanation that tells how much NaOH needs to be added to a beaker of HCl to cause the color to change. Your explanation can be something like: The color change will occur when [some amount] of NaOH is added because the color change occurs when [some condition]. The goal for your explanation is that it describes the outcome of this example, but can also be used to predict the outcome of other examples of this phenomenon. Here's an example explanation: The color of the solution will change when 40 ml of NaOH is added to a beaker of HCl because the color always changes when 40ml of base is added. Although this explanation works for this example, it probably won't work in examples where the flask contains a different amount of HCl, such as 30ml. Try to make an explanation that accurately predicts the outcome of other versions of this phenomenon.

Solution :

Consider the equation of the reaction between NaOH and $HCl$

NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl(aq) + $H_2O (l)$

The above equation tells us that $1 \text{mole}$ of $NaOH$ reacts with $1 \text{mole}$ of $HCl$ .

So at the equivalence point, the moles of NaOH added = moles of $HCl$ present.

If the volume of the $HCl$ taken = $V_1$ mL and the conc. of $HCl$ = $M_1$ mole/L

The volume of NaOH added up to the color change = $V_2 \text{ and conc of NaOH = M}_2$ mole/L

Moles of $HCl$ taken = $V_1 \ mL \times M_1 \ mol/100 \ mL = V_2M_2 \times 10^{-3}$ moles.

The color change will occur when the moles of NaOH added is equal to the moles of $HCl$ taken.

Thus when $V_1 M_1 \times 10^{-3} = V_2M_2 \times 10^{-3}$

or when $V_1M_1 = V_2M_2$

or $V_2=\frac{V_1M_1}{M_2}$ mL of NaOH added, we observe the color change.

Where $V_1, M_1$ are the volume and molarity of the $HCl$ taken.

$M_2$ is the molarity of NaOH added.

When both the NaOH and $HCl$ are of the same concentrations, i.e. if $M_1=M_2$ , then $V_2=V_1$

Or the 40 mL of $HCl$ will need 40 mL of NaOH for a color change and

30 mL of $HCl$ would need 30 mL of NaOH for the color change (provided the concentration $M_1=M_2$ )

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t

Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.
