Answer:

Your strategy here will be to use the molar mass of potassium bromide,

KBr

, as a conversion factor to help you find the mass of three moles of this compound.

So, a compound's molar mass essentially tells you the mass of one mole of said compound. Now, let's assume that you only have a periodic table to work with here.

Potassium bromide is an ionic compound that is made up of potassium cations,

, and bromide anions,

−

. Essentially, one formula unit of potassium bromide contains a potassium atom and a bromine atom.

Use the periodic table to find the molar masses of these two elements. You will find

For K:

39.0963 g mol

−

For Br:

79.904 g mol

−

To get the molar mass of one formula unit of potassium bromide, add the molar masses of the two elements

M KBr

39.0963 g mol

−

79.904 g mol

−

≈

119 g mol

−

So, if one mole of potassium bromide has a mas of

119 g

m it follows that three moles will have a mass of

moles KBr

357 g

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the number of moles of potassium bromide, but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs

Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere where they combine with water vapor to form _____.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The correct option is acid precipitation

Explanation:

When sulfur dioxide react with water vapors, they form sulphuric acid.
Similarly, when NOx reacts with water vapors to form HNO2 and HNO3.
So these acid cause the rain water into acidic rain.

A ____________ alkene is more stable than a ____________ alkene because they have fewer steric interactions. In an elimination r

Vesna [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A trans alkene is more stable than a cis alkene because they have fewer steric interactions.

⇒ In a cis alkene there is steric hindrance, because the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond.

Because of this steric crowding, there are van der Waals repulsive forces between the electron clouds of the groups.

This decreases the stability of the cis alkene.

In an elimination reaction, a geometry where the β hydrogen and the leaving group are on opposite sides of the molecule is called anti periplanar.

⇒ 'Anti’ refers to the two functional groups lying on opposite sides of the plane of the bond

In an SN1 mechanism, a nucleophile attacks the carbocation, forming a substitution product,

⇒ The SN1 reaction is a substitution reaction, and means "nucleophilic substitution".The "1" says that the rate-determining step is unimolecular. Thus, the rate equation is often shown as having first-order dependence on electrophile and zero-order dependence on nucleophile.

while in an E1 mechanism, a base removes a β hydrogen from the carbocation, forming a new π-bond.

⇒ E1 indicates a elimination, unimolecular reaction

This implies that the rate determining step of the mechanism depends on the decomposition of a single molecular species.

.This is a classic elimination reaction – forming a new C–C(π) bond, and breaking a C–H and C–leaving group bond.

CH3CH2Br and NaOH react by an SN2 mechanism.

⇒ It's a type of reaction mechanism that is common in organic chemistry, where one bond is broken and one bond is formed, synchronously, (in one step.)

Stronger bases, like hydroxide, favor E2 reactions, whereas weaker bases, like water favor, E1 reactions

Disubstituted alkenes always have the possibility to exist as two different Diastereomer.

Diastereomer are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another and are non-superimposable on one another. They exist (always) in 2 forms.

Elimination reactions are regioselective, favoring formation of the more substituted and more stable alkene.
