Why alkanes undergo substitution reaction?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: Alkanes undergo a substitution reaction with halogens in the presence of light. ... This reaction is a substitution reaction because one of the hydrogen atoms from the methane is replaced by a bromine atom

4. DBearded waste of Co-60 must be stored until it is no longer radioactive. Cobalt-60

Bingel [31]

464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g

26.5 years in storage

Required

Initial sample

Solution

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

t = duration of decay

t 1/2 = half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years

Input the value :

$\tt 14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^{26.5/5.3}\\\\14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^5\\\\No=\boxed{\bold{464~g}}$

Sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminum and water to produce hydrogen gas: 2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H

lianna [129]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen gas formed is 0.205 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of 1.83 grams of Al

Mass of NaOH = 4.30 grams

Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation:

2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of Al

Moles Al = mass Al / Molar mass Al

Moles Al = 1.83 grams / 26.98 g/mol

Moles Al = 0.0678 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NaOH

Moles NaOH = 4.30 grams / 40 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.1075 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 2 moles of Al, we need 2 moles of NaOH

Aluminium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.0678 moles)

NaOH is in excess. There will react 0.0678 moles

There will remain 0.1075 - 0.0678 = 0.0397 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles of hydrogen

For 2 moles of Al, we need 2 moles of NaOH, to produce 3 moles of hydrogen

For 0.0678 moles of Al, there is produced 0.0678 *3/2 = 0.1017 moles of H2

Step 7: Calculate mass of H2

Mass of H2 = Moles H2 * Molar mass of H2

Mass of H2 = 0.1017 moles * 2.02 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 0.205 grams

The mass of hydrogen gas formed is 0.205 grams

In the science fiction movie, The Abyss, a diver is able to breathe while his head is immersed in a specially prepared liquid pu

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

This type of experiment was carried out in 1960s on rodents, it was partially successful but was perceived impractical and dangerous for humans,it is possible theoretically.

Oxygen is broken down or dissolves in a thin film of fluid in the alveoli, surprisingly in normal breathing liquid composed of dissolved oxygen is involved. Evidently respiratory gas must be able to dissolve in this liquid and in concentration required to keep the partial pressure necessary to power diffusion.

Animal fibres are made up of

zalisa [80]

Animal fibers are fibers from animals and consist mainly of protein. They contain not only silk fiber from silkworms and fur fiber from sheep wool but also collagen fiber extracted from animal skins, chitin from crustaceans, and shellfish like shrimp and chitosan made by deacetylating chitin.
