2 m/sec.
his average velocity divided by the travel time. is this helpful?
Answer:
- Not balanced.
- Reactants: Zn and HCI
.
- Products: ZnCl₂ and H₂.
- Substitution reaction.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the given reaction:
Zn + HCI → ZnCl₂ + H₂
We can see that it is not balanced due to the fact that at the left side we have one hydrogen atom whereas at the right side two, taking into account the number must be same as well as chlorine. Thus, in order to balance we write:
Zn + 2HCI → ZnCl₂ + H₂
And that is enough. Moreover, we can see that the chemical species at the left side of the equation are the reactants and those at the right side the products, thus we have:
Reactants: Zn and HCI
.
Products: ZnCl₂ and H₂.
Finally, since we can see that the chlorine is at the reactants with hydrogen, but at the end with the zinc, and the initial zinc is alone as well as the yielded hydrogen we can infer this is a substitution reaction.
Best regards.
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
Aromatic hydrocarbons undergo electrophillic substitution. Usually, substituted benzene is more or less reactive to electrophillic substitution compared to unsubstituted benzene.
Substituents on the benzene ring tend to direct the incoming electrophile during electrophillic substititution. The presence of the -CH3 group on toluene directs the incoming Br electrophile to the ortho/para position.
Where the incoming electrphile E is Bromine, we can see that in the ortho/ para product, the electron pushing -CH3 stabilizes the resonance structure formed and increases electron density at the ortho/para position via resonance compared to the meta product as we can see from the image attached. Hence, the ortho and para products predominate over meta products.
