Answer:

The intermediate is carbocation.

Explanation:

The reaction of alkene with an acid to give alcohol is an electrophilic addition reaction.

In electrophilic reaction, the alkene is being attacked by an alkene.

in case of aqueous acid reaction with alkene , the electrophile is [H⁺].

When the proton attacks the alkene it generates carbocation.

The carbocation generated is formed based on stability of carbocation.

The mechanism is shown in the figure.

It takes 11.2 kj of energy to raise the temperature of 145 g of benzene from 22.0°c to 67.0°c. what is the specific heat of benz

Cloud [144]

We can use the heat equation,
Q = mcΔT

where Q is the amount of energy transferred (J), m is the mass of the substance (kg), c is the specific heat (J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹) and ΔT is the temperature difference (°C).
Q = 11.2 kJ = 11200 J
m = <span>145 g
</span>c = ?
ΔT = (67 - 22) °C = 45 °C
By applying the formula,
11200 J = 145 g x c x 45 °C
c = 1.72 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹

Hence, specific heat of benzene is 1.72 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹.

Mass box A = 10 grams; Mass box B = 5 grams; Mass box C—made of one A and one B How many boxes of B would be required to make 30

Iteru [2.4K]

Mass box C is 10+5. (So C is 15)

But if C was 30, how many times could you put B (5) into it?

30/5 = 6

You would need 6 boxes of B to make 30 grams of C.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

It is mentioned that the student is mixing chemicals A and B and observes the time taken for the color to change. However, in the experiment, it is noticed that the student has repeated the procedure five times and each time he or she is modifying the concentration of chemical B. Thus, it is clear that the concentration of chemical B is the independent variable in the experiment. An independent variable is illustrated as the variable, which is controlled or modified in the experiment.
