Answer:
The carbocation intermediate reacts with a nucleophile to form the addition product.
Explanation:
The reaction of benzene with an electrophile is an electrophillic substitution reaction. Here the electrophile replaces hydrogen. There is no formation of carbocation as intermediate in the reaction. Infact there is transition state where the electorphile attacks on benzene ring and at the same time the hydrogen gets removed from the benzene. So a transition carbocation is formed.
The general mechanism is shown in the figure.
i) Attack of the electrophile on the benzene (which is the nucleophile)
ii) The carbocation intermediate loses a proton from the carbon bonded to the electrophile.
iii) the carbocation formation is the rate determining step.
iv) There is no formation of addition product.
Thus the wrong statement is
The carbocation intermediate reacts with a nucleophile to form the addition product.
Answer:
The maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 70.6gCO_{2}
Explanation:
1. Write down the balanced chemical reaction:
2. Find the limiting reagent:
- First calculate the number of moles of hexane and oxygen with the mass given by the problem.
For the hexane:
For the oxygen:
- Then divide the number of moles between the stoichiometric coefficient:
For the hexane:
For the oxygen:
- As the fraction for the oxygen is the smallest, the oxygen is the limiting reagent.
3. Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction:
The calculations must be done with the limiting reagent, that is the oxygen.
