A free-radical substitution reaction is likely to be responsible for the observations. The reaction mechanism of a reaction like this can be grouped into three phases:
- Initiation; the "light" on the mixture deliver sufficient amount of energy such that the halogen molecules undergo homologous fission. It typically takes ultraviolet radiation to initiate fissions of the bonds.
- Propagation; free radicals react with molecules to produce new free radicals and molecules.
- Termination; two free radicals combine and form covalent bonds to produce stable molecules. Note that it is possible for two carbon-containing free-radicals to combine, leading to the production of trace amounts of long carbon chains in the product.

Example of solid - solid homogeneous mixture is copper metal - silver metal like coins and alloys.
Homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which one of the substances often changes in form as in a solution of sugar in water. It contains variable proportions. Solution can contain two substances, three substances or more, in a single physical state. The component of a solution that is present in greatest quantity is usually called the solvent and all other components are called solutes.
Answer:
<span>The mole concept is important in chemistry because, "</span>Atoms and molecules are very small and the mole concept allows us to count atoms and molecules by weighing macroscopic amounts of material".
Explanation:
To understand this question lets take an example of Hydrogen atom. Let suppose you need to react Hydrogen with Oxygen. You need exactly Two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom to form one water molecule.
The mass of 1 hydrogen atom is 1.76 × 10⁻²⁴ grams. How will you count the Hydrogen atoms??? How can you measure exactly for 1 Million Hydrogen Atoms???
Answer to these questions and Calculations lies in Mole. It is found that 1 Mole of Hydrogen weights exactly 1.008 gram and contains 6.022 × 10²³ atoms. Now, having this reference in hand you can calculate for any number of Hydrogen atoms.
Result:
So the Mole helps us to zoom a microscopic level to a macroscopic level. :)
Since the question is incomplete, the table has been searched in order to comply with the question.
Based on the table that I have provided, the order of increasing
depth from shallowest to deepest are the following; A,B,C,D,E. The reason that
this is the order to be chosen because the one responsible for making water
dense is the salt that is on the water and by that, the base is likely to sink
whereas the ones with less salt won’t be as thick compared those who have much
salt and will skim on its top.
