Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

First to all, we need to remember the difference between Sn and E reactions.

Reactions where a Sn1 or Sn2 occur, it's where you have a reactant with a very good leaving group and a nucleophyle, and the product or products of the reaction always results that the nucleophyle is now taking the place where the leaving group of the innitial reactant was. This can be done in acid medium (SN1 carbocation intermediate 2 steps) or basic medium (SN2 fast reaction 1 step)

Reactions where a E1 or E2 occur, we also have a reactant with a very good leaving group and a nucleophyle, and the product of reaction always result in the fact that not only the leaving group is out of the innitial reactant but also an electrophyle from the reactant is no longer there, and the product form a new pi bond (a double bond or triple bond) and the nucleophile gets the electrophyle that leaves the molecule. Depending of the conditions it can be either E1 or E2 (same conditions as Sn1 and Sn2).

According to this very brief explanation, let's see what we have in the options:

A. Tertiary alkyl halide with ethanol, heating and the product is an alkene.

According to the explanation, we have a tertiary alkyl halide (a carbon with all of it's bond different than hydrogen), reacting with ethanol and heating. The product formed was an alkene. In this case, the halide leaves the molecule forming a carbocation intermediate and the ethanol just react with an electrophyle of the bromide alkyl, in this case, an atom of hydrogen, and then the lone pairs form a double bond giving the alkene. <u><em>Because of the carbocation intermediate this is a E1 reaction.</em></u>

B. Tertiary alkyl halide treated with potassium terbutoxide in tert butanol and give an alkene.

This is similar as case A, the difference is that we are doing this in basic medium, therefore, the mechanism involved is either E2 or Sn2. However, the final product is also an alkene, which means that the tert-butoxide substract the electrophyle of the alkyl halide, the lone pairs goes down to the molecule promoving the leaving of the halide to form the alkene. <em><u>This then, would be an E2 mechanism reaction.</u></em>

<em><u>C. is the same as case A so it's a E1 reaction.</u></em>

Can someone please help me with this it's for a grade.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The Answer is 'D'

Explanation:

The diagram on the down side shows the behavior of the particles of a liquid so I suppose it is the ocean. While the top diagram shows the behavior of the particles of a gas so I am sure it's the air. Therefore I chose the last diagram because it describes exactly how you wanted in the question, which is the Ocean's water evaporating to become gas or the 'air' as we say

Chemistry omg need help plz I need plz. I real badly at it and try to get better but plz help me
Rufina [12.5K]
We all struggle in some subjects, you do badly when you don't try, and sometimes we try and can't get the answer, I'll help with that. :)

The first answer is CO2(g), CO2 is a gas, and all gas have... 4) No definite shape, no definite volume.

A piece of ice, a block of wood, and a ceramic cup are solids. They have shapes that do not change and volumes that can be measured. Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume.

A liquid takes the shape of what holds it, besides a flat surface, which will just evidently, take the shape of a flat surface. A liquid has a definite volume, because the volume of a liquid is constant because forces of attraction keep the particles loosely together.

Gases attempt to fill a container of any shape or size. Therefore, it has no definite shape.
There are forces of attraction among the particles in all matter, therefore, it has no definite volume.

The second question might become easier with the explanation above. A liquid has a definite volume because the forces of attraction are loosely together! Therefore, it has a definite volume, but it will take the shape of it's container.

This means... Yes! 2) It retains its original volume but changes shape.

This one is easy. To convert one gram of a solid at its normal heating point to a liquid at the same temperature, is the 1) Heat of Vaporization.

Heat of Vaporization is the amount of heat energy required to convert one gram of a substance from a liquid to a gas.

The third question, the molecules for H20, in a solid phase are always in an geometric and arranged pattern.

Most solids are arranged in geometric and arranged patterns, and since H20 is not in its indefinitely shaped liquid phase, it has a definite shape and thus, retains a repeating (geometric) pattern.

(Note- Some solids like wax or rubber do not have an arranged or geometric pattern.)

The “average of a kinetic energy” is defined as the vitality of movement of particles of a framework.

Or in simpler terms, “energy motion”.

So when temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of a molecule(s) 1) increases.

Atoms with the same number of protons but different masses (from different numbers of neutrons) are called:
____ [38]

Atoms with the same number of protons but different masses are called Isotopes.

<h3>What are Isotopes?</h3>

An isotope is one of two or more chemical elements that exist in different forms. Varied isotopes of an element have the same atomic number and protons in their nuclei, giving them the same atomic weight. However, each elemental isotope has a different amount of neutrons, which changes its atomic weight.

isobars - Isobars are atoms (nuclides) of several chemical elements that have diverse chemical characteristics but share the same physical characteristics. So, we may define isobars as elements with the same mass number but a different atomic number.
