Is the reaction balanced?

Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a stimulant found in coffees and teas. When dissolved in water, it can accept a proton from a water mole

Olenka [21]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

If we want to find the acid and the Brønsted-Lowry base, we must remember the definition for each of these molecules:

-) Acid: hydrogen donor

-) Base: hydrogen acceptor

In the caffeine structure, we have several atoms of nitrogen. These nitrogen atoms have the ability to accept hydronium ions ( $H^+$ ). Therefore the caffeine molecule will be the base since it can accept

If caffeine is the base, the water must be the acid. So, the water in this reaction donated a hydronium ion.

Thus, caffeine is the base and water the acid. (See figure 1)

What does the rate law tell you about a reaction?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

A. How the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of a reaction

Explanation:

Let's consider a generic reaction.

A + B ⇒ Products

The generic rate law is:

rate = k × [A]ᵃ × [B]ᵇ

where,

rate: rate of the reaction

[A] and [B]: molar concentrations of the reactants

k: rate constant

a and b: reaction orders

As we can see, the rate law shows how the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of a reaction.

Write the formulas of the three singly chlorinated isomers formed when 2,2-dimethylbutane reacts with Cl2 in the presence of lig

Tems11 [23]

The molecule with same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms is said to be an isomer.

When 2,2-dimethylbutane reacts with chlorine in the presence of light gives three isomers that is $CH_{3}C(CH_{3})_{2}CHClCH_{3}$ (3-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane), $ClCH_{2}C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ (1-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane) and $ClCH_{2}CH_{2}C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{3}$ (1-chloro-3,3-dimethylbutane).

In above case, the molecular formula of all isomers are same i.e. $C_{6}H_{13}Cl$ but chlorine is arranged in different positions of carbon. Thus, results isomers.
