Answer:

1) positive

2) carbocation

3) most stable

4) faster

Explanation:

A common test for the presence of alcohols can be achieved using the Lucas reagent. Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride.

The reaction of Lucas reagent reacts with alcohols leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride. Since the reaction proceeds via a carbocation mechanism, tertiary alcohols give an immediate reaction. Once a tertiary alcohol is mixed with Lucas reagent, the solution turns cloudy almost immediately indicating an instant positive reaction.

Secondary alcohols may turn cloudy within five minutes of mixing the solutions. Primary alcohols do not significantly react with Lucas reagent obviously because they do not form stable carbocations.

Therefore we can use the Lucas reagent to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the Haber-Bosch process, that is, the combination of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammo
RoseWind [281]
The balanced chemical equation for the Haber-Bosch process is N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g). The Haber-Bosch process played a significant role in boosting agriculture back in the day. It paved the way for the industrial production of ammonia which is used in the manufacture of fertilizers. The process involves reacting atmospheric N₂ with H₂ using a metal catalyst under high temperature and pressure.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

7.0*10-11m or 70Å

Explanation:

From Bragg's equation, w=2dsinx/n

Since all the parameters are specified in the question, we can easily go ahead to obtain the wavelength but we must convert the spacing given in angstroms to meters using the conversion factor provided as shown in the solution below:
