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.

The ksp of pbi2 is 1.4 x 10-8. what is the molar solubility of lead(ii iodide in a solution of 0.400 m sodium iodide?
tino4ka555 [31]
The solubility product of a substance us calculated by the product of the concentration of the dissociated ions in the solution raise to the stoichiometric coefficient of the ions. Therefore, we need the dissociation reaction. For this, it will have the reaction:

PbI2 = Pb^2+ + 2I-

We solve as follows:

Ksp = [Pb2+][I-]^2 = <span>1.4 x 10-8
</span><span>1.4 x 10-8 = x(2x)^2
</span><span>1.4 x 10-8 = 4x^3
x = 1.5x10^-3 M

The molar solubility would be </span>1.5x10^-3 M.

If the volume occupied by the gas molecules shown below were doubled, what would happen to the pressure they exert? (Assume cons
AnnZ [28]

there's no picture here but I guess the answer would be:

considering the constant temperature, if you double the volume, the pressure would be halved.

like: volume is 2, pressure is 4

if 2×2, then:4÷2
