The chemical formula CH2O can be classified as Empirical formula and possibly a molecular formula. The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that indicates the simplest ratio of atoms in the compound, while the molecular formula is the representation of the actual whole number ratio between the elements of the compound.
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Balanced equation
HQ⁻ + CH₃-Br ⟶ HQ-CH₃ + Br⁻
(I must use HQ because the Brainly Editor thinks the O makes a forbidden word)
2. Mechanism
HQ⁻ + CH₃-Br ⟶[HQ···CH₃···Br]⁻⟶ HQ-CH₃ + Br⁻
A C B
The hydroxide ion attacks the back side of the carbon atom in the bromomethane (A).
At the same time as the Q-H bond starts to form, the C-Br bond starts to break.
At the half-way point, we have a high-energy intermediate (C) with partially formed C-O and C-Br bonds.
As the reaction proceeds further, the Br atom drops off to form the products — methanol and bromide ion (B).
3. Energy diagram
See the diagram below.
Answer:
Oxygen is limiting reactant
Explanation:
Based on the chemical reaction:
2C2H6 + 7O2 → 6H2O + 4CO2
<em>2 mole of ethane reacts with 7 moles of oxygen</em>
<em />
For a complete reaction of 5.25 moles of ethane are required:
5.25 moles Ethane * (7mol Oxygen / 2mol Ethane) = 18.38 moles of oxygen
As there are just 15.0 moles of oxygen
<h3>Oxygen is limiting reactant</h3>
