Answer is: the compound is B₂O₃.

ω(O) = 68.94% ÷ 100%.

ω(O) = 0.6894; percentage of oxygen in the compound.

ω(X) = 31.06% ÷ 100%.

ω(X) = 0.3106; percentage of unknown element in the compound.

If we take 69.7 grams of the compound:

M(compound) = 69.7 g/mol.

n(compound) = 69.7 g ÷ 69.7 g/mol.

n(compound) = 1 mol.

n(O) = (69.7 g · 0.6894) ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 3 mol.

M(compound) = n(O) · M(O) + n(X) · M(X).

n(X) = 1 mol ⇒ M(X) = 21.7 g/mol; there is no element with this molecular weight.

n(X) = 2 mol ⇒ M(X) = 10.85 g/mol; this element is boron (B).

Answer:
            <span>In the addition of hbr to 1-butyne the electrophile in the first step of the mechanism is <u>Hydrogen atom of HBr</u>.

Explanation:
                   In this reaction first of all HBr approaches the triple bond. A Pi Complex (weak inter-molecular interactions) is formed between the two molecules. And the triple bond attacks the partial positive hydrogen atom creating a negative charge on Bromine along with positive charge on itself (Sigma Complex). In second step the negative Bromide attacks the positive carbon of Butyne.</span>

Coal, which is primarily carbon, can be converted to natural gas, primarily CH4, by the following exothermic reaction: C(s)+2H2(
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

A. The reaction will proceed forward forming more CH4

B. The reaction will proceed forward forming more CH4

C. Since the reaction is exothermic, raising the temperature will cause the reaction to proceed backward, thus forming C and H2.

D. Lowering the volume makes the gas particles to be more close together thereby enhancing their collisions leading to reaction. Therefore the reaction will proceed forward forming more CH4

E. Catalyst only reduce the activation energy so the reaction can proceed faster. The reaction will proceed forward forming.

F. The following will favour CH4 at equilibrium

i. Catalyst to the reaction mixture,

ii. Both adding more H2 to the reaction mixture and lowering the volume of the reaction mixture

iii. Adding more C to the reaction mixture.

CO, + H2O –H^2 CO^3 The reaction is which type of chemical reaction?​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Combination reaction or synthesis reaction

Explanation:

Given reaction:

                 CO  +  H₂O  →  H₂CO₃

The type of reaction shown above is a combination or synthesis reaction. A combination reaction is one in which a single product is formed from two or more reactants.

In the given reaction carbon monoxide combines with water to produce hydrogen carbonate.

The formation of compounds from the union of their constituent elements falls into this category of reactions.
