Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In the attached picture you will find the required mechanism.

1. The first step is the dissociation of chlorine by the effect of hear or light.

2. Then, the chlorine is able to "steal" a hydrogen from the 2-methylbutane based on Markovnikov's rules so a free radical is formed as well as hydrogen chloride.

3. Then, the previously formed free radical is attacked by the remaining chlorine to yield the 3-chloro-2-methylbutane.

At the end the overall reaction is shown.

Regards.

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

First, we need to understand that the monochlorination of an alkane like this one, involves substitution of one of the atoms of hydrogen of the molecule for an atom of chlorine.

This reaction takes place when the alkane reacts with Cl₂ in presence of light or heat.

When this happens, the first step involves the breaking of the double bond of the chlorine to form the ion Cl⁻.

The next step involves the substraction of the hydrogen of the molecule by the Chlorine. This will leave the alkane with a lone pair available for reaction.

The third step, the alkane with the lone pair of electron substract a chlorine for the beggining and form the mono chlorinated product.

The final step involves forming the remaining products with the remaining reagents there.

In the picture attached you have the mechanism and product for this reaction:

An organic compound, which has the empirical formula C12H25 has an approximate molar mass of 338 g/mol. What is its probable mol

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

C24H50

Explanation:

The empirical fomula's molar mass is 169.25 g/mol.

We know the molecular formula's molar mass is 338 g/mol.

338/169.25= 1.99 or approximately 2

Does the volume of particles affect the behavior of gas

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Yes, it does, although only physically and not chemically.

Explanation:

If a volume of gas is way spread out, it won't collide with the other gas particles as often, reducing pressure and temperature because they lose kinetic energy to their surroundings when they don't collide.

If it is compressed, it increases temperature and pressure because the gas particles collide with each other and the walls of the container way more often than if they had more space.

Hope this answers your question.

P.S.

Fun fact, gas particles are actually moving at 300-400 meters per second at room temperature, they only slow down to walking speed at very low temperatures, like 10 Kelvin

How is helium which is produced by the conversion of hydrogen into energy related to the solar core

qaws [65]

The sun's core is where Hydrogen atoms produce energy as they convert to molecules of Helium. Helium that is produced by the conversion of hydrogen into energy is related to the solar core in the sense that the conversion process produces energy captured in the core. I hope this helps you.
