1. why is HCl not a good choice as the acid to catalyze a dehydration reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Len [333]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1) HCl contains the Cl^- which is a good nucleophile

2) 2-methyl-2- heptanol > 2-heptanol > 1-heptanol

3) see image attached

Explanation:

If the dehydration of alcohols is carried out using HCl, the chloride ion which is a good nucleophile will attack the substrate to yield an undesirable product.

The dehydration of alcohols is an E1 reaction. Recall that the ease of E1 reaction increases in the order 3°> 2°> 1°. Hence, 2-methyl-2- heptanol forms a tertiary carbocation intermediate during dehydration and has the greatest ease of dehydration.

The three products formed during the dehydration of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol are shown in the image attached. Two out of the three are formed by rearrangement reactions.

A cube has sides that are 0.03 m . What is the volume of the cube in liters?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

0.027 litres

Explanation:

volume of cube = length × base area

volume of cube = 0.03m ×( 0.03m × 0.03m )

volume of cube = 0.03m × ( 0.0009m^2 )

volume of cube = 0.000027m^3

1 cubic metre = 1000 litres

0.000027m^3 = 0.027 litres

1. Describe the motion of gas particles.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The particles in a solid are tightly packed and locked in place. ... The particles in a liquid are close together (touching) but they are able to move/slide/flow past each other. The particles in a gas are fast moving and are able to spread apart from each other.

"What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0"
Artyom0805 [142]

Q: What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0 °C? (Lf = 3.34 x 105 J/kg)

Answer:

-3670.33 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.

Mathematically,  change of Entropy can be expressed as,

ΔS = ΔH/T ....................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = Change of entropy, ΔH = heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = -(Lf×m).................................... Equation 2

Note: ΔH is negative because heat is lost.

Where Lf = latent heat of ice = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg, m = 3.0 kg, m = mass of water = 3.0 kg

Substitute into equation

ΔH = -(3.34×10⁵×3.0)

ΔH = - 1002000 J.

But T = 0 °C = (0+273) K = 273 K.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = -1002000/273

ΔS = -3670.33 J/K

Note: The negative value of ΔS shows that the entropy of water decreases when it is changed to ice at 0 °C

Say I grab a bunch of aluminum foil (9.5g) and ball it up. Aluminum has a specific heat of .9J/g*C. How much would the aluminum’
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

ΔT = 0.78 °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 9.5 g

Specific heat capacity of Al = 0.9 J/g.°C

Temperature change = ?

Heat added = 67 J

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

67 J = 9.5 g × 0.9 j/g.°C × ΔT

67 J = 85.5 j/°C × ΔT

ΔT = 67 J  /  85.5 j/°C

ΔT = 0.78 °C
