Answer:

heavier gases - sank to the surface

lighter gases - escaped into space

oxygen - produced through photosynthesis

carbon dioxide - released by volcanoes

Explanation:

Since the formation of the atmosphere on Earth, there has been constant changes in it, gradually leading to the atmosphere that we have nowadays. In the distant past, the atmosphere was much different, and it took lot of time for it to become what it is. The volcanoes with their activity contributed to constant release of carbon dioxide, resulting in the greenhouse effect. The organisms that are able to perform photosynthesis started to release lot of oxygen into the atmosphere, thus setting up better living conditions. The gravity of our planet contributed to the vertical distribution of the gasses, with the heavier being lower, and the lighter ones being further up or released into space.

During bromination using NBS, the addition product is not observed because the rate of addition is _______than the rate of the c
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

slower

Explanation:

NBS is used in place of Br2 during bromination because the use of Br2 tends to result in the formation of a large concentration of the addition product.  This is because, the Br2 interacts with the double bond to yield only the dibromide (addition product).

The usefulness of NBS lies in the fact that it provides a lower concentration of Br2, and such that the rate addition is slower than the chain propagation steps. Only the monobromination product is observed

The low concentration of Br2 allows the free-radical reaction to out-compete the alkene addition reaction.

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop
Art [367]

Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

What is the conjugate acid of clo3 −? 1. hclo3 2. clo3 − does not contain oh−, so it is not a base and thus cannot have a conjug
Alla [95]
Answer is: 1. HClO₃; (chloric acid).
Balance chemical reaction (dissociation):
ClO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HClO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
According to  Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺).
The chlorate anion (ClO₃⁻) is Bronsted base and it can accept proton and become conjugate acid HClO₃..
