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.

There are five states of matter out of which we encounter three states of matter in our day today life

a) gas b) solid and c) liquid

the main difference between the three is of

a) Inter molecular forces of attraction

b) thermal energy

due to this

a) solid has high intermolecular forces and low thermal energy: thus they have fix shape and occupy fix volume

b) liquid has intermediate forces and medium themal energy. Thus they may have fixed volume and but no fix shape

c) gas has weak intermoelcular forces and high thermal energy. thus they have no fixed volume no fix shape

so in the given problem

the state of the substance D- Gas.

A 1.00 L flask is filled with 1.15 g of argon at 25 ∘C. A sample of ethane vapor is added to the same flask until the total pres
tatiyna

Answer:

The partial pressure of argon in the flask = 71.326 K pa

Explanation:

Volume off the flask = 0.001 m^{3}

Mass of the gas = 1.15 gm = 0.00115 kg

Temperature = 25 ° c = 298 K

Gas constant for Argon R = 208.13 \frac{J}{kg k}

From ideal gas equation P V = m RT

⇒ P = \frac{m R T}{V}

Put all the values in above formula we get

⇒ P = \frac{0.00115}{0.001} × 208.13 × 298

⇒ P = 71.326 K pa

Therefore, the partial pressure of argon in the flask = 71.326 K pa

A mole of oxygen and a mole of hydrogen (at STP) have all of the following in common EXCEPT
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Root mean squared velocity is different.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we have a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen at STP, which is defined as a condition whereas T = 298 K and P = 1 atm, we can infer that these gases have the same temperature, pressure, volume and moles but a different root mean squared velocity according to the following formula:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{MM} }

Since they both have a different molar mass (MM), nitrogen (28.02 g/mol) and oxygen (32.02 g/mol), thus we infer that nitrogen would have a higher root mean squared velocity as its molar mass is less than that of oxygen.

Best regards!
