The hydrocarbon is used in excess.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bromination of an arene is not simple as bromination of an alkane. This is because the carbocation or free radicle formation in benzene is a very energy consuming process. This is why a lewis base like aluminium bromide or ferric bromide is used. The ferric bromide takes in the bromine radicle and forms the brominium cation which helps in the formation of electrophile. Now this electrophile brominium cation attacks the benzene ring and forms a temporary sp3 hybrid carbon intermediate. Then the hydrogen is taken by the FeBr4- forming HBr and regenerating the FeBr3 as well as Aromaticity of the arene species at the same time. Here hydrocarbon is used in excess just to prevent the chances of multiple substitution in the same arene molecule.

How many 20.0-g ice cubes are required to absorb 47.0 kJ from a glass of water upon melting?
Sati [7]

Hello!


The number of 20-g ice cubes required to absorb 47 kJ from a glass of water upon melting is 7 icecubes


Why?


We are going to clear from the equation of the released heat, the mass of ice (m). The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 336 kJ/kg:


Q=m*L\\ \\ m=\frac{Q}{L}=\frac{47 kJ}{336 kJ/kg}=0,1399 kg=139,88 g\\   \\ 139,88g*\frac{1 icecube}{20g}=6,99=7icecubes


So, 7 ice cubes are required to absorb that amount of heat from the glass of water.


Have a nice day!

What type of substance reacts with limestone (CaCO3) and produces carbon dioxide gas?
Anestetic [448]
Acids react with calcium carbonate and more specifically carbonate to form carbon dioxide. An acid will give protons to the carbonate anion to produce carbonic acid which then decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Explain the difference between mechanical weathering and chemical weathering​
Alchen [17]

Answer:

mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller forms without any change in their composition whereas chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals .

or simply mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rocks while chemical weathering is the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions .

In a fluorine atom, on which energy level are the valence electrons found?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

second energy level

Explanation:

Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in outer most orbital of the atom.

This can be easily found through the electronic configuration of atom.

Electronic configuration of F:

F₉ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

We can see that the valence electrons are present in second energy level of F atom.

There are seven valence electrons of fluorine.

It is called halogens.

Halogens are very reactive these elements can not be found free in nature. Their boiling points also increases down the group which changes their physical states. i.e fluorine is gas while iodine is solid.

Fluorine:

1. it is yellow in color.

2. it is flammable gas.

3. it is highly corrosive.

4. fluorine has pungent smell.

5. its reactions with all other elements are very vigorous except neon, oxygen, krypton and helium.
