Answer:

Primary alcohol.

Explanation:

Jones reagent is mixture of chromium trioxide (CrO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) dissolved in a mixture of acetone and water. Alternatively, potassium dichromate (K2CrO7) can be used in place of chromium trioxide because of its carcinogenic nature.

This oxidation reaction is an organic reaction for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes then carboxylic acid and secondary alcohols to ketones.

Lucas reagent is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride (ZnCl) in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The reaction involves substitution reaction in which the chloride replaces a hydroxyl group.

A positive test is indicated by a change in appearance of the solution, from clear and colourless to fog-like, which shows the formation of a chloroalkane. Accurate results for this test are observed in tertiary alcohols, as they form alkyl halides the fastest due to the stability of their intermediate tertiary carbocation.

Therefore, an alcohol in which there was a positive Jones test and a negative Lucas test indicates the presence of primary alcohol.

This is because:

A primary alcohol would test positive to Jones test but in Lucas test, the substitution reaction is the slowest as compared to the secondary and tertiary alcohols.

1° alcohols < 2° alcohols < 3° alcohols

So a primary alcohol will give a negative result to Lucas reagent.

Consider the following reaction:
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

1. a) 0,18

2. e) The reaction proceeds to the left, forming more BrCl(g).

Explanation:

1. In a gas reaction as:

2SO₂(g) +O₂(g) ⇄ 2SO₃(g)

it is possible to convert kp to kc using:

kp = kc (RT)^Δn

Where kp is gas equilibrium constant, kc is equilibrium constant (13), R is gas constant (0,082atmL/molK), T is temperature (900K), and Δn is number of moles of gas products - number of moles of gas reactants (That is 2 - (2+1) = -1). Replacing:

kp = 13×(0,082atmL/molK×900K)^-1

<em>kp = 0,18</em>

<em></em>

2. Based on Le Chatelier's principle, the change in temperature, pressure, volume, or concentration of a system will result in predictable and opposing changes in the system. For the reaction:

2 BrCl(g) ⇄ Br₂(g) + Cl₂(g).

The addition of 0,050M of each compound cause <em>the reaction proceeds to the left, forming more BrCl(g)</em> because based on the reaction, you need two moles of BrCl per mole of Br₂(g) and Cl₂(g) to keep the system in the same. But you are adding the same proportion of moles of each compound.

I hope it helps!

Convert each of the potentials. The silver–silver chloride and calomel reference electrodes are saturated with KCl,KCl, resultin
joja [24]

Answer:

the potential with respect to a silver–silver chloride electrode is 0.715

Explanation:

the potential to a silver chloride electrode can be derived from  the question above by saying that

the potential with respect to a silver–silver chloride electrode? = 0.9120v  -  0.197 V

= 0.715

therefore, the potential with respect to a silver–silver chloride electrode is 0.715
