A carbocation is an example of a(an) ____. Does a carbocation accept a pair of electrons, or does it donate a pair of electrons?

fgiga [73]3 years ago

Answer:

Option A. The carbocation accepts a pair of electrons.

Explanation:

A carbocation is defined as a positively charged carbon, which is bound to 3 substituents. Since it has no electrons  nonbonding, it only has six electrons in its valence shell. With only six electrons in its valence shell, a carbocation is a powerful electrophile (and Lewis acid) and can react with any nucleophile that is found.

Carbocations are proposed as intermediates in many  organic reactions. They also work like free radicals, which are electron-deficient species.

Same as free radicals, the carbocations are stabilized by alkyl substituents.

Consider the hypothetical reaction 3A + 4B → C + 2D Over an interval of 2.50 s the average rate of change of the concentration o
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Final [B] = 1.665 M

Explanation:

3A + 4B → C + 2D

Average rection rate = 3[A]/Δt = 4[B]/Δt = [C]/Δt = 2[D]/Δt

0.05600 M/s = 4 [B]/ 2.50 s

[B] = 0.035 M (concentration of B consumed)

Final [B] = initial [B] - consumed [B]

Final [B] = 1.700 M - 0.035 M

Final [B] = 1.665 M

40.0% C, 6.72% H, 53.29%, O. Molar mass is 60 g/mol. Determine the empirical and molecular formula.
arsen [322]

Answer:

Molecular formula: C₂H₄O₂

Empirical formula: CH₂O

Explanation:

40 % C, 6.72 % H and 53.29 % O states the centesimal composition of the compound. These data means that in 100 g of compound we have x grams of a determined element.

We divide the mass by the molar mass of each:

40 g / 12 g/mol = 3.33 moles of C

6.72 g / 1 g/mol = 6.72 moles of H

53.29 g / 16 g/mol = 3.33 moles of O

We can determine rules of three to get, the molecular formula.

In 100 g of compound we have 3.33 moles of C, 6.72 moles of H and 3.33 moles of O; therefore in 60 g (1 mol) we must have

- (60 . 3.33) / 100 = 2 moles of C

- (60 . 6.72) / 100 = 4 moles of H

- (60 . 3.33) / 100 = 2 moles of O

Molecular formula is C₂H₄O₂

Empirical formula has the lowest suscripts; we divide by two, so the empirical formula is CH₂O
