The reaction between C2H6 and Cl2 is by addition
igomit [66]

The reaction between C2H6 and Cl2 by addition is C2H4Cl2 or dichloroethane. It must be under the presence of sunlight because halogen such as chlorine cannot easily react with the sigma bond of alkane such as ethane.

The ratio between the force of sliding friction and the normal force of an object is called _____.
Kitty [74]

Answer: The correct answer is C.

Explanation: Frictional force is the contact force which resists the motion of one surface on another.

Mathematically,

f=\mu N

where,

f = frictional force

\mu = Coefficient of friction

N = normal force acting on a body

We need to find the ratio of force of sliding friction ( which is a type of frictional force) and the normal force acting on an object. This will be equal to coefficient of friction.

\mu=\frac{f}{N}

Why sulphur has two melting point values
Fofino [41]

I don't know how well known/accepted this is (it's in my textbook so I'm guessing it's right), but Sulphur has two forms - the alpha and beta forms ,apparently gamma sulphur exists as well.

The alpha form is rhombic, yellow in color and has a MP of 385.8 K. The beta form is colorless and has a MP of 393 K and is formed by melting rhombic sulphur and cooling it till a crust forms on top. Poke a hole and pour out the liquid inside and you get beta sulphur. The transition point is 369K - below it, alpha sulphur is stable and above it, beta sulphur is stable. Both have helped. I had to pull out an old textbook and that's something that I don't usually do.
