Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The first step in this reaction is a unimolecular reaction. It involves the formation of the carbocation. This is so because tertiary alkyl halides only undergo substitution by SN1 mechanism due to sterric crowding.

The second step in the reaction is bi molecular. In this step, the carbocation now combines with the OH^- to yield the alcohol.

Net equation of the reaction is;

(CH3)3CBr + OH^- -------> (CH3)3COH + Br^-

The intermediate here is the carbocation,  (CH3)3C^+

Calculating the volume of 0.05mol/dm3 KOH is required to neutralise 25.0cm3 of 0.0150mol/dm3 HNO3
kvasek [131]

Answer:

You first need to construct a balanced chemical equation to describe the reaction:

KOH + HNO3 ---------> KNO3 + H2O

Work out the no. moles of HNO3 being neutralized:

Moles = Volume x Concentration = (25/1000) x 0.0150 = 0.000375 moles

From the balanced equation the molar ratio of KOH to HNO3 is 1:1 so you also need 0.000375 moles of KOH to neutralise the nitric acid

Now you can work out the volume of KOH required:

Volume = Moles/Concentration = (0.000375)/0.05 = 0.0075 dm^3 = 7.5 cm^3

If 801 J of heat is available, what is the mass in grams of iron (specific heat = 0.45 J/g・°C) that can be heated from 22.5°C to
inysia [295]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "18.25 g".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Specific heat,

C = 0.45 J/g・°C

Heat involved,

q =  801 J

Temperature,

ΔT = 120.0°C-22.5°C

     = 97.5°C

As we know,

⇒  C = \frac{q}{m \Delta T}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒  0.45=\frac{801}{m(97.5)}

⇒  m = 18.25 \ g

The isotope Np-238 has a half life of 2.0 days if 96 grams of it were present on Monday how much will remain six days later
Kipish [7]

Answer:

12.02 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Half life (t½) = 2 days

Original amount (N₀) = 96 g

Time (t) = 6 days

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Next, we shall determine the rate of disintegration of the isotope. This can be obtained as follow:

Half life (t½) = 2 days

Decay constant (K) =?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693 / 2

K = 0.3465 /day

Therefore, the rate of disintegration of the isotope is 0.3465 /day.

Finally, we shall determine the amount of the isotope remaining after 6 days as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 96 g

Time (t) = 6 days

Decay constant (K) = 0.3465 /day.

Amount remaining (N) =.?

Log (N₀/N) = kt / 2.303

Log (96/N) = (0.3465 × 6) / 2.303

Log (96/N) = 2.079/2.303

Log (96/N) = 0.9027

Take the anti log of 0.9027

96/N = anti log (0.9027)

96/N = 7.99

Cross multiply

96 = N × 7.99

Divide both side by 7.99

N = 96 /7.99

N = 12.02 g

Therefore, the amount of the isotope remaining after 6 days is 12.02 g

Determine the volume of methane (ch 4 ) gas needed to react completely with 0.660 l of o 2 gas to form methanol (ch 3 oh).
Sloan [31]
Balance Chemical Equation for this reaction is,

                           2 CH₄  +  O₂   →   2CH₃OH

According to this eq, 22.4 L (1 moles) of Oxygen requires 44.8 L (2 mole) CH₄ for complete reaction.
So, the volume of CH₄ required to consume 0.66 L of O₂ is calculated as,

 22.4 L O₂ required to consume  =  44.8 L CH₄
0.660 L O₂ will require                =  X L of CH₄

Solving for X,
                                                X  =  (44.8 L × 0.660 L) ÷ 22.4 L

                                                X  =  1.320 L of CH₄

Result:
            1.320 L of CH
₄ <span>gas is needed to react completely with 0.660 L of O</span>₂<span> gas to form methanol (CH</span>₃OH<span>).</span>
