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.

3. The temperature of a fixed mass of gas in a rigid container is decreased from 127.00 degrees
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

750mmHg

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

T1 = 127°C = 127 +273 = 400K

T2 = 27°C = 27 +273 = 300K

P1 = 1000mmHg

P2 =?

P1/T1 = P2/T2

1000/400 = P2 /300

Cross multiply

400 x P2 = 1000 x 300

Divide both side by 400

P2 = (1000 x 300)/400

P2 = 750mmHg

Therefore, the new pressure after cooling is 750mmHg

Which of the following contains a nonpolar covalent bond? O2 CO NaCI HF
jasenka [17]

Answer: The nonpolar covalent bond happens in an O₂ molecule.

Explanation: Nonpolar bonds happen where there's no difference between the polarity of the atoms involved. This usually happens when the same atoms bond to each other, which explains why the O₂ molecule is the one who has this bond.
