Be sure to answer all parts. Part 1 out of 2 how many electrophilic centers are present in acetyl chloride (ch3cocl)?
1 answer:
<h3>Answer:</h3>
There is One electrophilic center in acetyl chloride.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>Electrophile is defined as any specie which is electron deficient and is in need of electrons to complete its electron density or octet. The main two types of electrophiles are those species which either contain positive charge (i.e. NO₂⁺, Cl⁺, Br⁺ e.t.c) or partial positive charge like that contained by the sp² hybridized carbon of acetyl chloride shown below in attached picture.
In acetyl chloride the partial positive charge on sp² hybridized carbon is generated due to its direct bonding to highly electronegative elements *with partial negative charge) like oxygen and chlorine, which tend to pull the electron density from carbon atom making it electron deficient and a good electrophile for incoming nucleophile as a center of attack.

Answer: Moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, .
Explanation:
Given: Mass of methane = 146.6 g
As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of methane (molar mass = 16.04 g/mol) are calculated as follows.
The given reaction equation is as follows.
This shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gives 1 mole of methane. Hence, moles of hydrogen required to form 9.14 moles of methane is as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, .
