BASED ON THE INFORMATION BELOW. CALCULATE THE MASS FOR ONE OF THESE ATOMS:

stepladder [879]

C = 12 g

O = 16 g

H = 1 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Conservation of mass stated that

<em>In a closed system, the masses before and after the reaction are the same </em>

we can calculate the mass of each atom in the compound :

O in O₂ :

mass O₂ = 32

mass O = 32 : 2 = 16 g

H in H₂O

mass H₂O = 18

mass 2.H + mass O = 18

mass 2.H + 16 = 18

mass 2.H=2

mass H = 1 g

C in CH₄

mass CH₄ = 16

mass C + mass 4.H = 16

mass C + 4.1=16

mass C = 12 g

or we can use formula :

Mass of a single C :

$\tt =\dfrac{Ar~C}{MW~CO_2}\times mass~CO_2\\\\=\dfrac{12}{44}\times 44=12$

Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br2, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermedia

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached for details

Explanation:

The reaction involves the heterolytic fission of the Br-Br bond in the bromine molecule to yield a bromine cation which attacks the but-1-ene to form a cyclic intermediate called the brominium ion. The bromine anion must now attack from the opposite face of the brominium ion due to steric clashes to form a product of a 1,2-dibromoalkane having the anti- stereochemistry.
