potassium flouride is an ionic compound and ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid form instead it conducts electricity in molten state.Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid state because their ions are fixed while in molten form the ions are free

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

Which gas will effuse at the rate closest At a particular pressure and temperature, nitrogen gas effuses at the rate of 79mLs. U
Contact [7]

Answer : The rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

or,

(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}       ..........(1)

where,

R_1 = rate of effusion of nitrogen gas = 79mL/s

R_2 = rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas = ?

M_1 = molar mass of nitrogen gas  = 28 g/mole

M_2 = molar mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 64 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

(\frac{79mL/s}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{64g/mole}{28g/mole}}

R_2=52mL/s

Therefore, the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.

Which is true according to the law of conservation of energy?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: E)  In a closed system, the total energy always remains constant.

Explanation: For every system, the law of conservation of energy is applicable which states that the energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

A closed system is one which can exchange energy with the surroundings but not mass. Thus if a system absorbs energy, the equivalent amount of energy is lost by surroundings, thus the total energy remains constant.

If a system loses energy, an equivalent amount of energy is gained by surroundings, thus the total energy remains constant.

Say you have a rock composed entirely of potassium-40. After two half-lives of potassium-40, what fraction of the rock is still
Assoli18 [71]

<u>Answer:</u> The fraction of the rock that is still composed of potassium-40 is 0.25

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the fraction of the rock that is still composed of K-40, we use the formula:

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant

n = number of half lives = 2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{a}{a_o}=\frac{1}{2^2}\\\\\frac{a}{a_o}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Hence, the fraction of the rock that is still composed of potassium-40 is 0.25
