There is no sodium found in nature in pure form due to its reactivity. What does this say about activation energy of the reactio

n of sodium and water compared to the combustion of wax in a candle?
Chemistry

7 0

Answer:

The activation energy of a chemical reaction is the energy that is required to be supplied for a chemical reaction to take place. The activation energy for the reaction of sodium is low compared to the energy released such that the reaction of sodium and water is spontaneous resulting in the melting of the sodium into liquid form

The activation energy of a candle wax is much higher, requiring the ignition of the wick which burns and in turn melts the candle wax to release vapors that burns alongside the wick to produce sooth carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor and release of heat energy which also fuels further combustion of the candle wax and wick

Therefore, the activation energy of the candle wax and wick which require the heat of direct flame from an ignited matches is higher than the activation energy of sodium placed in a medium of water that reacts spontaneously without heat application

According to the law of conservation of mass, the amount of BARIUM present of the reactants is the same as the amount present in the products (the precipitate). 

(11.21 g BaSO4) / (233.4 g/mol BaSO4) = 0.0480 mol BaSO4 and original barium salt 

(10.0 g) / (0.0480 mol) = 208.3 g/mol 

So it must have been BaCl2, because the molar mass of Barium is 137 which leave 71 grams left. Since Barium is a +2 charge, it means the atom next to it must be twice. Chlorine mass is 35, which twice is 71

A student plans a two-step synthesis of 1-ethyl-3-nitrobenzene from benzene. The first step is nitration of benzene to give nitr
arlik [135]

Answer:

Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Explanation:

The benzene ring in itself does not easily undergo electrophilic substitution reaction. Some groups activate or deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reactions.

-NO2 ia a highly deactivating substituent therefore, Friedel-Crafts alkylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.

This reaction scheme is therefore flawed because Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.
