Answer:

option b

Explanation:

When the energy is released the process is called exothermic reaction. This happens when the bonds are broken in the reactants and the system release energy.

Answer:

a. forming bonds

Explanation:

The energy required to break a bond is endothermic that is energy is absorbed to break a bond.

The energy is released in the formation of a bond that is energy is released when a bond is formed.

The formula to find the ∆H of the reaction is

∆H (reaction) = ∆H (bonds Broken) - ∆H (bonds formed)

For example

$N_2+3H_2< >2NH_3$

$N_2$ contains one N≡N triple bond (Bond breaking 946 KJ per mol)

$H_2$ contains a single H-H bond (bond breaking 436 KJ per mol)

$NH_3$ contains 3, N - H single bonds(389 KJ per mol)

So ∆H (bonds broken) = 946 + (3 × 436) = 2254KJ

∆H (Bonds formed ) = (2 × 3 × 389) = 2334KJ

∆H (reaction) = 2254 KJ - 2334 KJ

= - 80KJ and the reaction is Exothermic

In this example we see energy required to break the bond is lesser than energy released in forming the bond.

Cis-4-tertButylcyclohexyl bromide (compound 1) and Trans-4 tert Butylcyclohexylbromide (compound 2) are reacted with Potassium T

Mkey [24]

Answer:

In compound 1 the Tert butyl group occupies the equatorial position and the Bromine occupies the axial position and in compound 2 the Tert butyl occupies the axial and the bromine occupies equatorial positions. Compound 1 reacts faster than compound 2.

Explanation:

In cyclic organic compounds, substituents may occupy the axial or equatorial positions. The axial positions are aligned parallel to the symmetry axis of the ring while the equatorial positions are around the plane of the ring.

Bulky substituents have more room in the equatorial than in the axial position. This means that compound 1 is more stable than compound 2.

This is clear on the basis of stability of the molecules because compound 1 will react faster than compound 2 since the bulky tertiary butyl group in compound 1 occupy equatorial and not axial positions.

What are some uses for graphite

erma4kov [3.2K]

Because it is a solid material, it is known as a dry lubricant. This is useful inapplications where “wet” lubricants, such as oil, cannot be used. Graphite is the only non-metal element that is a good conductor of electricity. Natural graphite is used mostly in what are called refractory applications

The molarity (M) of an aqueous solution containing 29.8 g of sucrose, C12H22O11, in 120 mL of solution is:

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.726 mol·L⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

c = moles/litres

=====

Moles = 29.8 × 1/342.30

Moles = 0.087 06 mol

=====

Litres = 120 × 1/1000

Litres = 0.120 L

=====

c = 0.087 06/0.120

c = 0.725 mol·L⁻¹

How the moon surface is visible to an observer on earth

ehidna [41]

The moon surface is visible to an observer on earth due to the gravitational force that attracts the moon to the earth. The more massive the body is, the more the smaller body is attracted to the larger body. We can only see the side of the moon due to the speed at which the moon rotates.

Why are collisions between Pluto and Neptune impossible

Brrunno [24]

Even though the orbits of pluto and neptune intersect,they are locked in a gravitational resonance condition which seems to prevent them from coming closer than a few 100 million miles from one another. that is why it is not possible for both planets to collide
