Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we use a thermometer to measure the temperature of water then heat from the water will lead to represent an increase in the thermometer reading.

This is because heat or warmth from the water will get transferred to the thermometer as a result, the liquid in the thermometer will also get warm.

Therefore, this warmth will increase kinetic energy of the molecules of liquid in the thermometer. Hence, the liquid will spread.

Thus, we can conclude that the liquid in the thermometer to rise because  molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart.

The Lucas test has _______ results based on the type of alcohol present because the reaction involves a _________, which is ____
Olin [163]

Answer:

1) positive

2) carbocation

3) most stable

4) faster

Explanation:

A common test for the presence of alcohols can be achieved using the Lucas reagent. Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride.

The reaction of Lucas reagent reacts with alcohols leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride. Since the reaction proceeds via a carbocation mechanism, tertiary alcohols give an immediate reaction. Once a tertiary alcohol is mixed with Lucas reagent, the solution turns cloudy almost immediately indicating an instant positive reaction.

Secondary alcohols may turn cloudy within five minutes of mixing the solutions. Primary alcohols do not significantly react with Lucas reagent obviously because they do not form stable carbocations.

Therefore we can use the Lucas reagent to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

When h2o is added to a compound in a chemical equation, a new compound can be formed via what type of reaction?
Scorpion4ik [409]

When water is added to a compound in a chemical equation, a new compound can be formed, it is called a hydrolysis reaction.

<h3>What is hydrolysis reaction?</h3>

There are so many kinds of reaction in chemistry we know that a chemical reaction occurs between reactant molecules in order to yield products in the reactants.

The hydrolysis reaction is a breaking up reaction. In a hydrolysis reaction, water is used to break up a molecule. Hence in a hydrolysis reaction water could be regarded as one of the reactants in the reactions going on in the system.

We know that a hydrolysis is a reaction in which water reacts with another reactant molecule to yield products in the reaction. Thus, when water is added to a compound in a chemical equation, a new compound can be formed, it is called a hydrolysis reaction.

Hydrogen gas (a potential future fuel) can be formed by the reaction of methane with water according to the following equation:
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 62.05 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of methane = 25.5 L

Pressure of methane = 732 torr

Temperature = 25.0 °C = 298 K

Volume of water vapor = 22.0 L

Pressure of H2O = 704 torr

Temperature = 125 °C

The reaction produces 26.0 L of hydrogen gas measured at STP

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH4(g) + H2O(g) → CO(g) + 3H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles methane

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure of methane = 0.963158 atm

⇒with V = the volume of methane = 25.5 L

⇒with n = the moles of methane = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 298 K

n = (p*V) / (R*T)

n = (0.963158 * 25.5 ) / ( 0.08206 * 298)

n = 1.0044 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles H2O

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure of methane = 0.926316 atm

⇒with V = the volume of methane = 22.0 L

⇒with n = the moles of methane = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 398 K

n = (p*V) / (R*T)

n = (0.926316 * 22.0) / (0.08206 * 398)

n = 0.624 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol methane we need 1 mol H2O to produce 1 mol CO and 3 moles H2

H2O is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.624 moles).

Methane is in excess. There will react 0.624 moles. There will remain 1.0044 - 0.624 moles = 0.3804 moles methane

Step 6: Calculate moles hydrogen gas

For 1 mol methane we need 1 mol H2O to produce 1 mol CO and 3 moles H2

For 0.624 moles H2O we'll have 3*0.624 = 1.872 moles

Step 9: Calculate volume of H2 at STP

1.0 mol at STP has a volume of 22.4 L

1.872 moles has a volume of 1.872 * 22.4 = 41.9 L

Step 10: Calculate the percent yield of the reaction

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100 %

% yield = ( 26.0 L / 41.9 L) *100 %

% yield = 62.05 %

The percent yield of the reaction is 62.05 %
