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.

In one step in the synthesis of the insecticide Sevin, naphthol reacts with phosgene as shown.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C₁₀H₈O + COCl₂  → C₁₁H₇O₂Cl + HCl

A. How many kilograms of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl form from 2.5×10*2 kg of naphthol?

Given data:

Mass of naphthol = 2.5 ×10² kg ( 250×1000 = 250000 g)

Mass of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of naphthol = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of naphthol = 250000 g/ 144.17 g/mol

Number of moles of naphthol = 1734.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of naphthol with C₁₁H₇O₂Cl.

                     C₁₀H₈O       :         C₁₁H₇O₂Cl

                        1               :                1

                       1734.1         :             1734.1

Mass of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1734.1 mol × 206.5 g/mol

Mass = 358091.65 g

Gram to kilogram:

1 kg×358091.65 g/ 1000 g  = 358.1 kg

B. If 100. g of naphthol and 100. g of phosgene react, what is the theoretical yield of C11H7O2Cl?

Given data:

Mass of naphthol = 100 g

Mass of COCl₂ = 100 g

Theoretical yield of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of naphthol:

Number of moles of naphthol = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of naphthol = 100 g/ 144.17 g/mol

Number of moles of naphthol = 0.694 mol

Number of moles of phosgene:

Number of moles  = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles =  100 g/ 99 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.0 mol

Now we will compare the moles of naphthol and phosgene with C₁₁H₇O₂Cl.

                     C₁₀H₈O        :         C₁₁H₇O₂Cl

                        1                :                1

                       0.694        :              0.694

                    COCl₂          :             C₁₁H₇O₂Cl

                        1                :                1

                       1.0              :              1.0

The number of moles of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl produced by C₁₀H₈O are less so it will limiting reactant and limit the yield of  C₁₁H₇O₂Cl.

Mass of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  0.694 mol × 206.5 g/mol

Mass = 143.3 g

Theoretical yield  =  143.3 g

C. If the actual yield of C11H7O2Cl in part b is 118 g, what is the percent yield?

Given data:

Actual yield of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl = 118 g

Theoretical yield = 143.3 g

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Formula :

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Percent yield = 118 g/ 143.3 g × 100

Percent yield = 0.82 × 100

Percent yield = 82%

Which best describes the particles in a gas when the temperature rises from 23 °C to 46 °C?
mariarad [96]
I think the correct answer is b. Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy so when temperarure rises so will the average kinetic energy. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

The arrangement of elements based on their properties
Thepotemich [5.8K]
<span>The arrangement of the periodic table leads us to visualize certain trends among the atoms. The vertical columns ( basically their groups) of the periodic table and they are arranged such that all its elements have the same number of valence electrons. And all the elements within a certain group thus share similar properties and that's about it.</span>
