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 volume of a sample of ammonia gas (NH3) if it contains 0.23 moles?​
LekaFEV [45]

The volume of a sample of ammonia gas : 5.152 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.23 moles of ammonia

Required

The volume of a sample

Solution

Assumed on STP

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters / mol.

So for 0.23 moles :

= 0.23 x 22.4 L

= 5.152 L

Las Vegas, Nevada is in a desert. How does its rapid population growth affect the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Many areas of the United States experience explosive population growth. <u>The more people that reside someplace, the more demand there is for water there.</u> Often these urban-growth <u>expansions are unplanned and place extraordinary stress on the water supply system, mainly on the groundwater.</u> <u>The stress often depletes groundwater supply, thereby causing wells to dry up.</u> Then water must be brought from somewhere else to support the local population.

Such situations have occurred all over the United States. For example, increased population growth in the southwestern United States has significantly lowered the water table 50 to 200 feet (depending on the area) since the 1940s. Managing urban growth, efforts to reduce water demand, conservation of the resource, and attempts to increase the water supply all address the problem of exceeding water resource limits.

<u>Human activities affect groundwater quality.</u>

<u>Here are some sources </u>and possible solutions to groundwater pollution:

<u>Agriculture</u>—Reduce usage of pesticides and fertilizers.

<u>Landfills</u>—Monitor for leakage and repair linings.

<u>Underground storage tanks</u>—Remove damaged and unused tanks.

<u>Household wastes</u>—Properly dispose of household hazardous waste.

<u>Septic tank leaks</u>—Properly maintain and repair tanks.

This came from the K12 learning course read this and the answer will be there. I underlined the important parts for the answer.
