A scientist finds that one volume of an unknown gas X combines with two volumes of another gas Y to form two volumes of a new ga
1 answer:
Answer:
Gas X
Explanation:
The given reaction can be written in the form of chemical equation as shown below as:
According to law of conservation of mass, the moles of each substance in the reaction must be equal on both reactant and product side.
Also, the question asks for the gas which is diatomic. cannot be diatomic as the formula contains 3 atoms.
Between gas X and gas Y , <u>X has to be diatomic for the reaction to balance </u>as:

Answer:
C) SN2 and E2
Explanation:
For this question, we have analyzed the <u>substrate</u> and the <u>base/nucleophile</u>. The substrate, in this case, is 1-iodohexane and the base/nucleophile is potassium tert-butoxide.
<u>Substrate</u>
<u />
In the 1-iodohexane the iodide "I" is bonded to a primary carbon (carbon 1). Therefore we will have a <u>primary substrate</u>. If we have a primary substrate an Sn1 can not take place. We can not have a <u>primary carbocation</u> due to this instability. So, we can disccard options A) and B).
<u>Base/nucleophile</u>
<u />
In the potassium tert-butoxide we have an ionic compound. A positive charge is placed in the potassium atom a negative charge is placed in the oxygen of the ter-butoxide ion. So, we will have a <u>strong base</u> (a molecule with the ability to remove electrons) and a <u>strong nucleophile</u> (a molecule with ability to bond with an electrophile). With all this in mind, w<u>e can not have an E1 reaction</u>.
With both analyses, the answer is C).
See figure 1
