The formation of tert-butanol is described by the following chemical equation: (CH3), CBr (aq) + OH(aq) → Br" (aq) +(CH), COH(aq

)
Suppose a two-step mechanism is proposed for this reaction, beginning with this elementary reaction: (CH3), CBr (aq) → (CH3),c* (aq) + Br" (ag)

Suppose also that the second step of the mechanism should be bimolecular.

Suggest a reasonable second step.

That is, write the balanced chemical equation of a bimolecular elementary reaction that would proposed mechanism. X 5 ?

Answer:

(CH_3)_3С^+ (aq) + OH^- (aq)\rightarrow (CH_3)_3COH (aq)

Explanation:

There are two ways of looking at this problem. The first way, slightly more advanced, is to understand that the carbocation formed is an intermediate in this reaction: it is formed in one step and consumed in the subsequent step.

Secondly, we have hydroxide involved as our reactant, so it should be our second reactant in the second bimolecular step.

Thirdly, the product formed would be a combination of the anion and cation, one of our products, this means we have the following second step:

(CH_3)_3С^+ (aq) + OH^- (aq)\rightarrow (CH_3)_3COH (aq)

Another way is to verify this knowing that by adding all of the steps should yield a net equation, notice if we add the two steps together (reactants on one side and products on the other), we obtain:

(CH_3)_3С^+ (aq) + OH^- (aq) + (CH_3)_3CBr (aq)\rightarrow (CH_3)_3COH (aq) + (CH_3)_3C^+ (aq) + Br^- (aq)

Notice that the intermediate carbocation cancels out on both sides to yield the final net equation:

OH^- (aq) + (CH_3)_3CBr (aq)\rightarrow (CH_3)_3COH (aq) + Br^- (aq)

This means we have the correct second step.

For what reasons would modern scientists accept dalton's atomic theory but not the idea of an atom proposed by the greek philoso
soldi70 [24.7K]

Solution:

The idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosophers because:

According to Greek Philosopher, matter is composed of small and indivisible particles called atoms. He introduced atoms as too small to be seen, unchangeable, completely solid without internal structure. He proposed that atoms are of variety of shapes and sizes which is responsible for different types of matter.

But according to Dalton’s atomic theory, chemical elements have atoms, which are identical in weight. The different elements have different atoms of different weight. Atoms can combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds. These observations are already introduced by Greek philosopher, but the idea of atomic weight is introduced by Dalton. He introduced the list of 21 elements with their atomic weights and, he was the first to propose the element’s symbol.

Why is the Universal Law of Gravitation is a scientific Law and not a theory?
scoundrel [369]
This is a law because it describes the force but makes not attempt to explain how the force works. A theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity explains how gravity works by describing gravity as the effect of curvature of four dimensional spacetime.

What force types change the direction of motion
lora16 [44]

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity. Let’s say an object is moving along a table on earth, suddenly the finite table ends, resulting in the object being present in the air, which means there is no normal contact force N to combat the force by gravity mg, which is why there is an acceleration downwards. This proves as a projectile motion since the direction of motion start changing from horizontal to vertical. Another example is one throwing an object up. It moves up and slows down, reaching its maximum point, leading to it starting to move downwards. This too is a change in motion.

A 2.4L balloon filled with helium at room temperature 25oC is put into liquid nitrogen
Stels [109]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.62 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 2.4 L

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = -196°C

Final volume = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273 = 298 K)

Final temperature = -196°C ( -196+273 = 77 K)

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 2.4 L × 77 K / 298 k

V₂ = 184.8 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 0.62 L
