Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

This is a reaction of alkyne hydration. We have aqueous sulfuric acid in HgSO4. This reagent is used to convert a alkyne into a ketone. The mechanism of reaction is taking place in 4 steps.

The first step is an electrophilic adition where the atom of Hydrogen that the acid provides, is added to the alkyne in the triple bond.

In this step, as Carbon 2 and Carbon 3, do not have any atom of hydrogen, the adition of this hydrogen could take place in either carbon 2 or carbon 3, that's why at the end you can have two products in equal amounts.

The second step is the adition of one molecule of water in the carbocation that appears in the previous step.

The third step, is an acid base equilibrium, where the hydrogen atom from the water that added to the heptene, is substracted (In this case by the conjugate base of the acid).

In this way, we will have an alcohol with a double bond. This is the enolic form of the molecule.

The final step is a tautomeric equilibrium, where the double bond of the C = C will pass to a double bond C = O forming a carbonile and therefore, a ketone.

If this was done in carbon 2 from step 1, you'll have the 2-heptanone. If it were on carbon 3, it will be the 3 - Heptanone.

Picture attached has the mechanism and products.

The solubility of nitrogen gas at 25 ◦C and 1 atm is 6.8×10−4 mol/L. If the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air is 0.76 atm,
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Concentration of dissolved nitrogen = 5.2 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

More the pressure of the gas, more will be its solubility.

So, for two different pressure, the relation between them is shown below as:-

\frac {P_1}{C_1}=\frac {P_2}{C_2}

Given ,  

P₁ = 1 atm

P₂ = 0.76 atm

C₁ = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L

C₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

\frac{1\ atm}{6.8\times 10^{-4}\ mol/L}=\frac{0.76\ atm}{C_2}

C_2=\frac{0.76\times 6.8\times 10^{-4}}{1}\ mol/L

<u>Concentration of dissolved nitrogen = 5.2 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L</u>

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:
12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = <u>(-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}

∴  mass of S in 2 moles of S: w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g

<em>Given reaction</em>: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

<em>In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S</em>

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ <u><em>The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:</em></u>

x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ

\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J

(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)

<u>Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>
