The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

What is the purpose of reacting 2.0mL of HNO3 with 2.0 mL of H2SO4 in a separate test tube, prior to adding it to the solution containing the substrate? more than one answer is possible

A) The release of a water molecule that acts as an electrophile in the reaction with methyl benzoate.

B) The formation of nitronium ion, which acts an electrophile in the reaction with methylbenzoate.

C)The formation of bisulfate (hydrogen sulfate), which acts as an electrophile in the reaction with methylbenzoate.

D)The release of a water molecule that acts as a nucleophile in the reaction with methyl benzoate.

Answer:

B) The formation of nitronium ion, which acts an electrophile in the reaction with methylbenzoate.

Explanation:

The benzene ring is known to be stable hence it can only undergo a substitution reaction with the aromatic ring still intact. When the substitution reaction involves an electrophile we refer to the process as electrophillic aromatic substitution. Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a useful synthetic route for many organic compounds.

In the electrophilic substitution of methyl benzoate using the 1:1 volume ratio mixture of H2SO4/HNO3, the nitronium ion (NO2+) is the electrophile generated in the test tube. It is this NO2+ that now reacts with the methyl benzoate to yield the reaction product.

The intermolecular forces present in CH 3NH 2 include which of the following? I. dipole-dipole II. ion-dipole III. dispersion IV
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

I. dipole-dipole

III. dispersion

IV. hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are weak attraction force joining nonpolar and polar molecules together.

London Dispersion Forces are weak attraction force joining non-polar and polar molecules together. e.g O₂, H₂,N₂,Cl₂ and noble gases. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a non -polar molecule sometimes becomes polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant.

Dispersion forces are the weakest of all electrical forces that act between atoms and molecules. The force is responsible for liquefaction or solidification of non-polar substances such as noble gas an halogen at low temperatures.

Dipole-Dipole Attractions are forces of attraction existing between polar molecules ( unsymmetrical molecules) i.e molecules that have permanent dipoles such as HCl, CH3NH2 . Such molecules line up such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.

Dipole - Dipole attractions are more stronger than the London dispersion forces but weaker than the attraction between full charges carried by ions in ionic crystal lattice.

Hydrogen Bonding is a dipole-dipole intermolecular attraction which occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to highly electronegative elements such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. The highly electronegative elements have very strong affinity for electrons. Hence, they attracts the shared pair of electrons in the covalent bonds towards themselves, leaving a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the electronegative atom ( nitrogen in the case of CH3NH2 ) . This attractive force is know as hydrogen bonding.

Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2
MissTica
According to the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

So we can mention all as liters,

A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O 

So, when we have 75L of CO2

and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2

 2C2H2 → 4CO2 

∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:

                    = 75L / 2

                    = 37.5 L

B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2


and 4CO2 → 2H2O 

∴ the volume of H2O required is: 
                               
                            = 75 L /2
                            = 37.5 L 


C) and from the balanced equation and by  the same way:

when 5 liters O2  reacts to give 4 liters of CO2

and we have 75 L of CO2:

5 O2 → 4 CO2 

   ??  ←  75 L

∴ the volume of O2 required is:

                              = 75 *(5/4)

                              = 93.75 L



D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is: 

no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.

A flask contains methane, chlorine and carbon monoxide gases. the partial pressures of each are 0.215 atm, 0.066 atm, and 0.826
hjlf

Answer;

The total pressure is 1.107 atm.

Explanation;

The total pressure is the sum of the pressures of the three gases in the flask

Pressure (total) = 0.215 atm + 0.066 atm + 0.826 atm = 1.107 atm

= 1.107 atm.

Which type of carbon fixation stores carbon dioxide in acid form?. a. C3. b. C4. c. CAM. d. all of the above
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer is: c) CAM.

CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) is a carbon fixation pathway.

In plants with CAM carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is stored as the malic acid malate in vacuoles at night.

During the daytime, the malic acid is transported to chloroplasts where it is converted back to carbon dioxide, which is then used during photosynthesis.

Malic acid is an organic dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C₄H₆O₅.
