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:

When 3.0 grams of H2 is reacted with excess C at constant pressure, the reaction forms CH4 and releases 53.3 kJ of heat. C(s) +

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

THE ENTHALPY OF REACTION IN KJ/MOL OF CH4 IS 7.07 KJ/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of H2 = 3 g

Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol

Heat released = 53.3 kJ

Equation of the reaction:

C(s) + 2H2(g) -------> CH4(g)

First:

Calculate the number of moles of H2 that was used:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 3g / 2g

Number of moles = 1.5 moles

So therefore, when 53.3 kJ of heat was released from the reaction, 1.5 moles of hydrogen was used.

From the equation of the reaction, one mole of carbon reacts with two moles of hydrogen to form one mole of methane.

For 3 g of hydrogen, 1.5 mole of hydrogen is involved.

It means:

1.5 moles of hydrogen reacts with 0.75 moles of carbon and produces 0.75 moles of methane. This is so because the reaction occurs in 1: 2: 1 in respect to carbon, hydrogen and methane respectively.

So we can say that the production of 0.75 mole of methane will evolve 53.3 kJ of heat.

0.75 mole of methane releases 53.3 kJ of heat.

1 mole of methane will release ( 53.3 kJ * 1 / 0.75 )

= 71.0666 kJ of heat

In conclusion, the enthalpy of the reaction in kJ/ mole of CH4 is 71.07 kJ/mol.

What contribution to atomic theory resulted from albert einstein’s work?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Albert Einstein is perhaps most famous for introducing the world to the equation E=mc2. In essence, he discovered that energy and mass are interchangeable, setting the stage for nuclear power—and atomic weapons. His part in the drama of nuclear war may have ended there if not for a simple refrigerator.

A little aluminum boat (mass of 14.50

Valentin [98]

When the volume is 450 cm3 so the boat will displace 450 g.

so we have 450 g - 14.5g = 435.5 left

so to get how many pennies can be added to the boat before it sinks can be determined by:

divided the mass for the one penny:

no.of Penny = 435.5 / 2.5g

= 174.2

∴ the boat will float with 174 pennies and will start to sink with 175
