Answer: option a and d

Explanation:

Option A- Benzene undergoes substitution reaction

Example : benzene reacts with chlorine to form chlorobenzene, in the presence of Iron

(iii) chloride as a catalyst

C6H6 + Cl2 ---> C6H5Cl + HCl

Option D- Benzene also undergoes addition reaction

Example: benzene reacts with hydrogen , in the presence of nickel as a catalyst to form

cyclohexane

C6H6 + 3H2 ---> C6H12

Reasons why Option B isn't the answer

Although benzeme has degree of unsaturation but it's not five degree of unsaturation.

Benzene has 6 carbon atoms and 4 degrees of unsaturation (1 ring and 3 double

bonds).

If you work backwards and double the degrees of unsaturation you have 8 degrees of

unsaturation instead of 5.

Option C - Benzene isn't a saturated hydrocarbon

The weathered debris in deserts consists mainly of

vampirchik [111]

Answer;

C. unchanged rock and mineral fragments

Explanation;

A large number of landforms and features found in desert environments are formed as the result of weathering. Weathering is defined as the breakdown and deposition of rocks by weather acting in situ

The two main types of weathering which occur in deserts are Mechanical weathering, which is the disintegration of a rock by mechanical forces that do not change the rock's chemical composition and Chemical weathering, which is the decomposition of a rock by the alteration of its chemical composition.

By contrast much of the weathered debris in deserts has resulted from mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering, however, is not completely absent in deserts. Over long time spans,clays and thin soils do form.

Iron is extracted from iron oxide in the Blast Furnace: Fe 2 O 3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO 2

arsen [322]

a. mass of iron = 69.92 g

b. percent yield = 93%

<h3>Further eplanation </h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

Fe₂O₃+3CO⇒2Fe+3CO₂

MW Fe₂O₃ : 159.69 g/mol

mol Fe₂O₃

$\tt \dfrac{100}{159,69}=0.626$
