The reason why iodine sublimes

1 answer:

7 0

The intermolecular forces for Iodine are much lower than the energy needed to free it from its crystal lattice. Once Iodine has enough energy to break out of the lattice, it also has enough energy to separate from its neighbors. And so, it sublimes.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the amount of time it takes for a quantity of that isotope to decay to one half of its

Sedaia [141]

Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.

a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:

$t_{\frac{1}{2}} =$ $\frac{ln 2}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{0.693}{k}$

Where k is the decay constant

b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:

$Decay constant (k) = \frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$k = \frac{0.693}{5230 years}$

$k = 1.325 * 10^{-4} yr^{-1}$

c) Finding the age of the sample :

35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.

The first order rate equation is,

$[A] = [A_{0}]e^{-kt}$

$\frac{[A]}{[A_{0}]} = e^{-kt}$

$\frac{35}{100} = e^{-(1.325 *10^{-4})t}$

$ln(0.35) = -(1.325 *10^{-4})(t)$

t = 7923 years

Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.

Comparing the 2-bromobutane + methoxide and 2-bromobutane + t-butoxide reactions, choose the statements that BEST describe the d

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

an increase in 1-butene was observed when t-butoxide was used

Explanation:

When a base reacts with an alkyl halide, an elimination product is formed. This reaction is an E2 reaction.

Here we are to compare the reaction of two different bases with one substrate; 2-bromobutane. Both reactions occur by the E2 mechanism but follow different transition states due to the size of the base.

The Saytzeff product, 2-butene, is obtained when the methoxide is used while the non Saytzeff product, 1-butene, is obtained when t-butoxide is used.

The Saytzeff rule is reliable in predicting the major products of simple elimination reactions of alkyl halides given the fact that a small/strong bases is used for the elimination reaction. Therefore hydroxide, methoxide and ethoxide bases give similar results for the same alkyl halide substrate. Bulky bases such as tert-butoxide tend to yield a higher percentage of the non Saytzeff product and this is usually attributed to steric hindrance.

In a compound, such as CH3OH, how determine which is the central atom?

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Choose the least electronegative atom other than H.

Explanation:

A Lewis structure consists of terminal atoms and one or more central atoms.

H can be only a terminal atom because it can form only one bond.

So the central atom must be either C or O.

The central atom is the less electronegative atom: C.

So, start the Lewis structure with a central C atom.

Then attach an O atom to get C-O.

Finally, attach the H atoms.

The condensed formula often gives you a clue where they go.

The formula CH₃OH implies that there are 3 H atoms on C and one on O.

The connectivity of the atoms is then as in the diagram below.
