Halogens are good leaving groups in substitution reactions because leaving group ability is directly related to their being:____

a. weak bases
b. strong bases
c. strong acids
d. electrophiles

Vlada [557]3 years ago

Answer:

weak bases

Explanation:

Leaving groups accept electron pairs. A strong base donates an electron pair while a weak base accepts an electron pair.

Since good leaving groups must readily accept electrons, weak bases are very good leaving groups.

The order of usefulness of halogens as leaving groups is: I > Br > Cl > F

How do I create an atom with a mass of 3 and a neutral charge?
kupik [55]

Answer:

a lithium atom (Z=3, A=7 AMU) contains three protons (found from Z), three electrons (as the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in an atom), and four neutrons (7 – 3 = 4).

7. Disulfur dichloride can be made by reacting chlorine gas with molten sulfur. What is the yield of S2Cl2 expected in a laborat
Pie

Answer:

11.4g of S₂Cl₂ is the expected yield

9.69g of S₂Cl₂ are produced with a 85% yield

Explanation:

The reaction of sulfur S₈ with Cl₂ to produce S₂Cl₂ is:

S₈ + 4Cl₂ → 4S₂Cl₂

<em>Where 1 mole of sulfur reacts with four moles of chlorine to produce four moles of disulfur dichloride.</em>

To find the limiting reactant you need to convert mass of each reactant to moles using its molar mass, thus:

S₈ (Molar mass: 256.52g/mol): 10.0g ₓ (1mol / 256.52g) = 0.0390 moles S₈

Cl₂ (Molar mass: 70.9g/mol): 6.00g ₓ (1mol / 70.9g) = 0.0846 moles Cl₂

For a complete reaction of 0.0390 moles of sulfur, there are necessaries:

0.0390 mol S₈ ₓ (4 mol Cl₂ / 1 mol S₈) = <em>0.156 moles Cl₂. </em>As you have just 0.0846 moles of chlorine, Cl₂ is the limiting reactant.

As 4 moles of Cl₂ produce 4 moles of S₂Cl₂.<em> 0.0846 moles of Cl₂ produce, in theory, 0.0846 moles of S₂Cl₂ (Molar mass: 135.04g/mol). </em>In mass:

0.0846 moles S₂Cl₂ ₓ (135.04g/mol) =

<h3>11.4g of S₂Cl₂ is the expected yield</h3>

If you produce just the 85.0% of yield, mass of S₂Cl₂ is:

11.4g ₓ 85% =

<h3>9.69g of S₂Cl₂</h3>

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of bismuth oxide ion to bismuth ion in basic aqueous solution. Be sure to add p
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

3H_2O+(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+6OH^-

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the required half-reaction, we start by setting it up from bismuth (V) oxide ion to bismuth (III) ion:

BiO_3^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}

Thus, next realize that the oxidation state of Bi in BiO3^- is 5+ because oxygen is 2- (-2*3+x=-1;x=-1+6;x=+5), so we obtain:

(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}

Thereafter, we realize three water molecules are needed on the right in order to balance the oxygens and consequently 6 hydrogen atoms on the left to balance hydrogen:

6H^++(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+3H_2O

Now, since the balance is is basic media, we add six molecules of hydroxide ions in order to produce water with the hydrogen ones:

6OH^-+6H^++(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+3H_2O+6OH^-\\\\6H_2O+(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+3H_2O+6OH^-\\\\6H_2O-3H_2O+(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+6OH^-

Then, we accommodate the waters to obtain:

3H_2O+(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+6OH^-

Best regards!

A 10.0-gram sample of which element has the smallest volume at STP?
DaniilM [7]

(4) zinc

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the sample = 10g

Condition = STP

Unknown:

Element with the least volume = ?

Solution:

The number of moles of substance as STP can be derived using the equation below;

    Volume of substance = number of moles x 22.4

Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

   since mass = 10g

Number of moles of Al = \frac{10}{27} = 0.37mole

Number of moles of Ti = \frac{10}{47.9} = 0.29mole

number of moles of Mg = \frac{10}{24} = 0.47mole

Number of moles of Zn = \frac{10}{65.5} = 0.15mole

Zinc has the least number moles and it will have the lowest volume at STP because the volume directly proportional to number of moles.
