Answer:

12 grams

Explanation:

For any radioactive substance

the amount of substance left after n half life is given by = $x/2^n$

where x the original amount of substance.

____________________________________________

Half life of isotope Np-238 = 2 days

total no of days = 6

no of half life =total no of days/Half life of isotope Np-238 = 6/2 = 3

thus,

for our problem n = 3

initial amount of Np-238 = 96 grams

thus,

the amount of substance left after 3 half life = 96/2^3 = 96/8 = 12 grams.

Thus, 12 grams will be left after six days.

When benzene (c6h6) reacts with bromine (br2) bromobenzene(c6h5br) is obtained: c6h6 + br2 → c6h5br + hbr what is the theoretica

saveliy_v [14]

Answer A) : We have to calculate the number of moles of Benzene involved in the reaction,

30 g / 78 moles of benzene = 0.384 moles

For bromine it will be the same process,

65 g / 159.8 moles = 0.406 moles

By observing the reaction given above we can say that the reaction ratio of bromine and benzene is 1 : 1

We need to find the mass of bromobenzene,

which should be, 6(12) + 5 (1)+ 79.90 = 156.9 g/mol

So, the mass of bromobenzene will be 156.9 g/mol X 0.3846 mol = 60.343 g

Hence the theoretical yield will be 60.34 g

Answer B) : To calculate the actual yield we have to divide it with theoretical yield.

(56.7g / 60.343 g ) X100% = 93.96 %

Here, we can say that we got 93.96 % of actual yield.

As we know it is impossible to get 100% yield in any reaction.

Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously.

Example:
OH⁻ + CH₃-Br → CH₃-OH + Br⁻

In above reaction,

OH⁻ = Incoming Nucleophile

CH₃-Br = Substrate

CH₃-OH = Product

Br⁻ = Leaving group

Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.
