Answer:
Experiments to determine mechanisms involve looking at indirect evidence to help support or disprove a proposed mechanism.
Most intermediates are not typically isolated to determine reaction mechanisms.
Carbocations are very reactive and are typically not isolated for analysis.
Scientists can prove that a specific mechanism exists.
Evidence of intermediates sometimes can be seen using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Explanation:
The study of reaction mechanism and chemical kinetics often form the main thrust of study in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.
We often want to know the actual processes involved in the conversion of one specie to another. Unfortunately, this information may have to be obtained indirectly by certain chemical reactions or by the use of new instrumental methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Many organic reactions have carbocation intermediates. These carbocations are relatively short-lived and are transient intermediates which are rarely isolated unless they are isolated in a molecular cage using a macromolecule or in superacids.
By intensive study, scientists can proof or disprove the authenticity of any proposed mechanism.
We must know that a transition state has partial bonds. It is often an extremely short-lived specie which cannot be isolated.
A cooked chicken would be somewhat burnt or cooked. A glass of kool aid would be mixed, or aka homogenous mixture. The glass would maintain a color, because its not water.
Answer:
Explanation:
We will need a balanced chemical equation with masses, moles, and molar masses.
1. Gather all the information in one place:
Mᵣ: 18.02
2Na + H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂
m/g: 72.0
2. Moles of H₂O
3. Moles of Na
The molar ratio is 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂O.
Since there are no given items, I will give a general answer. Energy....or the lack of it. Examples: Heat, electricity, force (when an item is moving and it impacts something, it heats up...friction is an example of this), etc
Answer:
1) correct
2) incorrect
3) correct
4)incorrect
Explanation:
1) A Lewis acid is a substance that accepts a nonbonding pair of electrons.
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton H⁺
Since the donation of a proton involves the acceptance of a pair of electrons, every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid.
2)A Lewis acid not necessarily needs to have a proton to be donated.
3) Conjugated acids of weak bases are strong acids and conjugated acids of strong bases are weak acids.
4)K⁺ comes from a strong base, therefore is does not have an acidic behaviour.
