Answer:

Benzene has a pi electron system that is electron rich.

Electrophiles are molecules that are attracted to electron rich molecules as they are electron deficient in order to form a more stable complex.

Hence, as benzene is electron rich, electrophiles will be attracted to it.

Answer:

Explanation:Because of the delocalised electrons exposed above and below the plane of the rest of the molecule, benzene is obviously going to be highly attractive to electrophiles - species which seek after electron rich areas in other molecules.

Why can't polyatomic ions ever stand alone?

Basile [38]

The prefix "poly-" means "many," and "atomic" refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is made of 2+ atoms covalently bonded together. These ions are charged, which is why they can never stand alone.

Answer:

32.7 grams of Zn will remained in the crucible after cooling.

Explanation:

$2ZnS+3O_2 \rightarrow 2ZnO + 2SO_2$ ..[1]

$ZnO+C\rightarrow Zn+CO$ ..[2]

Adding [1] + 2 × [2] we get:

$2ZnS+3O_2+2C \rightarrow 2Zn + 2CO+2SO_2$ ..[3]

Moles of ZnS in crucible = 0.50 mol

According to reaction [3]. 2 moles of ZnS gives 2 moles of Zn.

Then 0.50 moles of ZnS will give:

$\frac{2}{2}\times 0.50 mol=0.50 mol$ of Zn.

Mass of 0.50 moles of Zn =

= 0.50 mol × 65.4 g/mol =32.7 g

32.7 grams of Zn will remained in the crucible after cooling.
