The C2-C3 single bond in butane freely rotates at room temperature, see equation (1) below. In contrast, the C2-C3 single bond i

n the butenyl cation, equation (2), has a high energy barrier for rotation and does not rotate at room temperature. Use structures to explain why the C2-C3 rotational barrier in butenyl cation is so high.

Answer: Rotation occurs at single bonds that are sigma bonds. Rotational barrier is the amount of  activation energy required to covert rotamer to another by rotation that occurs around the sigma bond(C-C single bond). Due to the presence of steric hindrance that is the nonbonding interaction effects the reactivity of ions and molecules, activation energy increases. So the rotational barrier in butenyl cation is high.

What is the maximum mass of aluminum chloride that could be obtained from 6 mol of barium chloride?
kodGreya [7K]
You have to find the stoichiometric ratio between AlCl₃ and BaCl₂. The common element between them is Cl. So, the ratio of Cl in BaCl₂ to AlCl₃ is 2/3. The molar mass of AlCl₃ is 133.34 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of AlCl₃ = (6 mol BaCl₂)(2 mol Cl/1 mol BaCl₂)(1 mol AlCl₃/3 mol Cl)(133.34 g/mol) = 533.36 g AlCl₃

Oksanka [162]
<h2>Answer : Option B) The hematite particles rearrange to form a new substance.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

Hematite particles when gets rearranged to form a new substance,  is an example of a chemical change.

As a chemical changes is usually a change where a substance undergoes a chemical change and forms a new substance; which cannot be easily reversed into reactants by any simple physical methods.

In this example the hematite ore forms a new substance by an irreversible chemical change.
