The Lucas test has _______ results based on the type of alcohol present because the reaction involves a _________, which is ____

Olin [163]

Answer:

1) positive

2) carbocation

3) most stable

4) faster

Explanation:

A common test for the presence of alcohols can be achieved using the Lucas reagent. Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride.

The reaction of Lucas reagent reacts with alcohols leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride. Since the reaction proceeds via a carbocation mechanism, tertiary alcohols give an immediate reaction. Once a tertiary alcohol is mixed with Lucas reagent, the solution turns cloudy almost immediately indicating an instant positive reaction.

Secondary alcohols may turn cloudy within five minutes of mixing the solutions. Primary alcohols do not significantly react with Lucas reagent obviously because they do not form stable carbocations.

Therefore we can use the Lucas reagent to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

What volume will 2.5 mol of a gas at STP occupy ?

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L of the gas

2.5 mole of the gas at STP occupies 22.4×2.5 L of the gas

so 2.5 mole of the gas at STP occupies 56 L of the gas .

In a reaction vessel, 17.6 g of solid chromium(III) oxide, Cr2O3, was allowed to react with excess carbon tetrachloride in the f

notsponge [240]

Answer:

72.53% is the yield of CrCl3

Explanation:

Given

Reaction:

Cr2O3(s) + 3 CCl4(l) → 2 CrCl3(s) + 3 COCl2(aq)

CCl4 is in excess and 17.6g Cr2O3 present

The reaction yields 26.6g of CrCl3

To Find:

% yields of the reaction

Also given

Molar mass of CrCl3 = 158.35g/mol

Molar mass of Cr2O3 = 152.00 g/mol

By the stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of Cr2O3 gives 2 moles of CrCl3

1 x1 52 g of Cr2O3 gives 2x 158.35 g of CrCl3

= 1 52 g of Cr2O3 gives 316.70 g of CrCl3

17.6 g of Cr2O3 gives (17.6÷152) × 316.70 g CrCl3

= 36.67 g CrCl3

but actual yield is only 26.6g

so % yield is (26.6 ÷÷ 36.67) × 100

= 72.53% is the yield of CrCl3

Briefly explain why adding salt to icy roads helps melt the ice and prevent it from freezing again.

g100num [7]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The melting point (the temperature that it changes from solid to liquid) of a pure substance depends on its mass, the forces between its molecules, and the pressure of the system.

The melting point, or the freezing point, of a mixture, is a temperature between the melting point of its components. Salt has a huge negative melting point, so when it is added to the water, the melting point decreases from 0ºC to -21ºC approximately.

So, the water will only freeze again if the temperature becomes below -21ºC which is very difficult to happen.
