Radical chlorination of pentane is a poor way to prepare 1-chloropentane, but radical chlorination of neopentane, (CH3)4C, is a

good way to prepare neopentyl chloride, (CH3)3CCH2Cl. Why?

Radical chlorination is not as selective as radical bromination. the rate in which it reacts with primary, secondary or tertiary hydrogens is not that great of a difference. 

So, in pentane, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3, by the reaction with Cl2, the chlorine group can attach to any of the carbons which would form many isomers and not specifically 1-=chloropentane. In neopentane, (CH3)4C, it is different. each of the H atoms is equivalent. So no matter which one be substituted, only one product, (CH3)CCH2Cl, can be prepared.

Which is true about the pH values of a 1.0 M solution of HCl (a strong acid) and a 1.0 M solution of HC2H3O2 (a weak acid)?
Neko [114]

Answer:

C. pH values are different because the HC_2H_3O_2 solution partially ionizes and the HCl solution ionizes 100 percent.

Explanation:

Strong acids are the acids which completely ionizes in the solution while weak acids are the acids which ionizes partially in the solution. They exists in equilibrium in the solution with their respective ions.

Thus, strong acids furnish greater concentration of protons as compared to weak acid when same concentration of both types are taken.

<u>Also, pH is the negative of the logarithm  of the hydrogen ions. Thus, hydrogen ion concentration for both acids are different and thus pH will be different.</u>

Ionic compounds involve a (share, tranfer) of electrons and typically involve atoms that have (Large, similar, very different) e
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

2 Transfer; very different

Explanation:

Ionic compound are compound that are formed from transfer of electron. The cations donate the electron(s) while the anion receive the electron(s). The compound possess a positively charged end and a negatively charge end. Example of ionic compound is NaCl . The sodium donates one electron to the chlorine  to fulfill the octet rule. The sodium atom becomes positively charged  as it donate electron to the chlorine atom. The chlorine atom becomes negatively charged as it receive electron from Sodium atom.

The atoms that are involve in forming ionic compound have very different electronegativity . Electronegativity  is the measure of the ability of an atom to attract a bond pair of electron. For example the NaCl compound, the two atom has verse differences in the electronegativity. Cl atom is far more electronegative than Sodium atom.

The term El Nino/Southern Oscillation refers to the occurrence of warmer than normal sea surface temperatures in the Eastern Pac
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The  El Nino/Southern Oscillation occurs in between the three phases Neutral, La Nina or El Nino.

The humboldt current takes cold water to South America's west coast to the tropics from the  Southern Ocean. Because of the welling which takes place in Peru this process is enhanced. Due to the trade winds near the equator the cold water travels west where it heats up due to the sun. This makes the water of the western Pacific warmer.

A certain electrolyte solution contains 1 gram of salt for every 8 grams of sugar and every 200 grams of water. If the sugar to
12345 [234]

Answer:

The resulting solution contains approximately 666 g of water.

Explanation:

In the initial solution we have:

1g salt : 8g sugar : 200g water

This means that the ratios are:

\frac{salt}{sugar}  = \frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{8}{200} =\frac{1}{25}

In the final solution we have:

5g salt: xg sugar: yg water

The new ratios are:

\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{3}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{1}{50}

Now we can calculate the amount of sugar in the final solution:

\frac{salt}{sugar}  = \frac{5}{x} =\frac{3}{8} \\\\X = 13.333 g

Finally, we calculate the amount of water:

\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{13.333}{y} = \frac{1}{50} \\y = 666.667 g
