Answer:

Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride

Explanation:

During a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophilie replaces another in a molecule.

This process may occur via an ionic mechanism (SN1) or via a concerted mechanism (SN2).

In either case, the ease of departure of the leaving group is determined by the nature of the C-X bond. The stronger the C-X bond, the worse the leaving group will be in nucleophilic substitution. The order of strength of C-X bond is F>Cl>Br>I.

Hence, iodine displays the weakest C-X bond strength and it is thus, a very good leaving group in nucleophillic substitution while fluorine displays a very high C-X bond strength hence it is a bad leaving group in nucleophilic substitution.

Therefore, the ease of the use of halide ions as leaving groups follows the trend; Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride

Determine the free energy(ΔG) from the standard cell potential (Ecell0 ) for the reaction:2ClO2-(aq)+Cl2(g)→2ClO2(g)+ 2Cl-(aq)wh
Dima020 [189]

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta G^o for the given reaction is -7.84\times 10^4J

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

2ClO_2^-(aq.)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ClO_2(g)+2Cl^-(aq.)

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> ClO_2^-\rightarrow ClO_2+e^-;E^o_{ClO_2^-/ClO_2}=0.954V  ( × 2)

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> Cl_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl(g);E^o_{Cl_2/2Cl^-}=1.36V

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=1.36-(0.954)=0.406V

To calculate standard Gibbs free energy, we use the equation:

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}

Where,

n = number of electrons transferred = 2

F = Faradays constant = 96500 C

E^o_{cell} = standard cell potential = 0.406 V

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times 0.406=-78358J=-7.84\times 10^4J

Hence, the \Delta G^o for the given reaction is -7.84\times 10^4J

A condor has a wing span of 3.05 m. What is the wing span in feet
romanna [79]

Answer:

The condor has a wing span of 10 feet

Explanation:

This can be solved by a simple rule of three

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.

In this problem, our measures are the wing span of the condon in meters and the wing span of the condor is feet. As the value of one of these measures increases, the other is going to increase too.

We know that 1m has 3.281 feet,

So we have the following rule of three:

1m - 3.281 feet

3.05m - x feet

x = 3.821*3.05

x = 10 feet

The condor has a wing span of 10 feet
