Answer:

C_4H_2F_8 is the molecular formula of the compound.

Explanation:

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 200 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula of C_2HF_4 :

2 × 12 g/mol + 1 × 1 g/mol + 4 × 19 g/mol = 101 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{200 g/mol}{101 g/mol} =1.9 \approx 2

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(2\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}F_{(4\times 2)}=C_4H_2F_8

C_4H_2F_8 is the molecular formula of the compound.

The following questions are about ethyl bromide,n-propyl bromide, isopropyl bromide,t-butyl bromide, & neopentyl bromide
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

a) Watch the attaccment

b) Ethyl bromide is more reactive than n-propyl bromid, and this more than neopentyl bromide. Ethyl bromide has less steric hindrance than the others, to SN2 reactions.

c) t-butyl bromide is more reactive than  isopropyl bromide, and this more than ethyl bromide. t-butyl bromide structure stabilize the carbocation, better than the others.

Explanation:

Speed of SN2 reactions depends on steric hindrance, the less hindrance, the most reaction speed, meaning more reactivity. Then, those linear structures are more reactive to SN2 reactions.

In the other hand, speed of SN1 reactions depends on the stability of the carbocation formed. Structure with ramifications can stabilize better the carbocation, these structures are more reactive to SN1 reactions.

what does the statment mean. The properties of salts are different from the properties of the elements that go into making them
Olegator [25]
Think of it this way,
Mix Iron and sulphur in a bowl. How do you separate them? Use a magnet right. Yes.

Now, mix the iron and sulphur together but know, heat them up. Let them cool for a while. After that, use a magnet to separate. You cant. This is because the compound (FeS) now has a different property from its original components.

Apply this theory onto salts.
