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^+

What is the empirical formula for a compound if a sample contains 3.72 g of P and 21.28 g of Cl
fenix001 [56]
M(P)=3.72 g
M(P)=31 g/mol

m(Cl)=21.28 g
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol

n(P)=m(P)/M(P)
n(P)=3.72/31=0.12 mol

n(Cl)=m(Cl)/M(Cl)
n(Cl)=21.28/35.5=0.60 mol

P : Cl = 0.12 : 0.60 = 1 : 5

PCl₅ - is the empirical formula

Cl2 and N2 react according to the following equation 3Cl2(g) + N2(g) rightarrow 2NCl3(g) If 4 L of a stoichiometric mixture of c
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Volume of NCl3 is 3L

Explanation:

Avogadro states: All gases at the same volume under temperature and pressure constant have the same number of moles.

The chemical equation is:

3Cl2(g) + N2(g) → 2NCl3(g)

Where 3 moles of chlorine reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen to produce 2 moles of NCl3.

But using Avogadros law we can say:

3L of chlorine and 1L of nitrogen produce 2L of Nitrogen trichloride.

3L of chlorine and 1L of nitrogen: 4L (The stoichiometric mixture)

That means, volume of NCl3 produced is 3L
