AlCl3 is lewis acid. Explain how?

Chemistry
1 answer:
professor190 [17]3 years ago
3 0

 For AlCl3  to be a Lewis acid, it would have to react in such a way that it accepted a lone pair from some other atom or molecule from a Lewis base.AlCl3  has an electron-deficient aluminum atom. It has only six electrons in its valence shell. It readily accepts electrons from other atoms, in an attempt to get a full valence shell of eight electrons.

Neopentyl alcohol, (ch3)3cch2oh, cannot be dehydrated to an alkene without rearrangement. what is the chief product of dehydrati
emmainna [20.7K]

Dehydration is removal of water.

In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.

In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].

The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.

The process or mechanism can be understood as:


so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene

Can Someone help me please…
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

1.Ecologists often estimate the size and density of. populations using quadrats and the mark-recapture method.

2. The two key components of ecosystem stability are resilience and resistance.

3.The availability of abiotic factors (such as water, oxygen, and space) and biotic factors (such as food) affect population

4. When the climate is changing in the colder direction it effects the planet in the opposite way than it does when it is changing in the warmer direction. Ad nauseam the contemporary, it’ll keep getting hotter and at a greater rate so the ecosystem is going to die.

What is metal made out of?
maxonik [38]

Explanation:

Scientifically speaking, metals are naturally occurring chemical elements that are typically hard, lustrous, and good conductors of both heat and electricity. Examples include iron, gold, silver, copper, zinc, nickel, etc., but also elements we don't normally think of as metals.

2. A magnifying glass is an example of a _______ lens.
NISA [10]
<span>The answer to question 2 is C. A magnifying glass is an example of a plano-convex lens, where one side of the lens is flat and the other is a convex curve. The answer to question 3 is either B or C. A converging lens is curved on both sides and so the rays of light coming out of it converge at a point, which is known as the focal point. When the object is inside the focal point, the image is real and inverted. If it is inside the focal point, the image is virtual and upright. Therefore the image in this question will be upright. The focal length is the distance between the image that is being magnified and the centre of the magnifying lens. A real image can only be formed when the object is further away from the lens than the focal length. Therefore, in this question, the image is virtual, as the object is closer to the lens than the focal length. The answer to question 4 is D because the index of refraction cannot be less than 1. The answer to question 5 is D because only concave mirrors can produce real images; other types produce virtual images. For question 6, the answer is D. In the rainbow, each of the colours refracts at a slightly different angle; red has the smallest refractive index and violet the largest. Of the options, orange is closest to red. For question 12, A is the answer. A higher operating temperature is not a reason fluorescent lamps are better than incandescent lamps because they have a lower operating temperature. Question 15: all of these are characteristics of different electromagetic waves. For question 18, B is true - special care must be taken when low illuminance is required to reduce glare. The answer to question 19 is B - a compound microscope makes use of two lenses. For question 20, the answer is 5 meters away. The illuminance (E) is equal to light intensity (I) divided by the square distance from the light source (d). Therefore, 4 = 100/d squared. To switch this around, d squared is equal to 100/4 = 25. Then find the square root of 25, which is 5.</span>
