Explanation:

Energy must be added to change carbon powder into synthetic diamond because at ordinary temperature and pressure conditions, this reaction will not take place.

To form diamond, conditions of high pressure must be made available. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon that is very hard and difficult to break.

To form diamond synthetically, we must be able to replicate the natural conditions by which it forms.

Diamond forms under very high grade metamorphic pressure. This must also be the condition to form the synthetic variant.

<span>1. MgBr2

Soluble.

Rule: all the binary compounds of the group 17 (different to F) with metals are solubles, except those formed with Ag, Hg (I) and Pb.

2. PbI2

Insoluble.

Rule: it is one of the exceptions stated in the rule above.

3. (NH4)2CO3

Soluble.

Rule: salts containing NH4(+) are soluble.

4. ZnSO4

Soluble

Rule: </span><span>This salt is not an exception to the rule that most sulfate salts are soluble. Important exceptions to this rule include BaSO4, PbSO4, Ag2SO4 and SrSO4

5. Sr(OH)2

Soluble (slightly soluble).

Rule: </span><span>Hydroxide salts of Group II elements (Ca, Sr, and Ba) are slightly soluble</span>

Discuss whether two products are required for a chemical reaction. (NEED HELP ASAP)

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

"These starting substances of a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the new substances that result are called the products."

There is a beginning product, and a reactant is needed in order for something to happen.

For example, according to Newton, something cannot happen until an exterior force comes and stops/pushes it.

Sorry if this is incorrect, I am just 4th grade :(

n‑methyl‑2‑pyrrolidone is an aprotic solvent used in many industrial processes. draw the structure of the product formed when it

The structure of n‑methyl‑2‑pyrrolidone when it is heated with aqueous acid. product is given below

<h3 /><h3>What is aprotic solvent?</h3>

A polar solvent without an acidic proton is known as a polar aprotic solvent. These solvents don't include hydroxyl or amine groups. These solvents can act as proton acceptors, but unlike protic solvents, they do not act as proton donors in hydrogen bonding.

After being exposed to a strong aqueous acidic media and being heated, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone opens up, forming a molecule with a carboxylic group at one end and a protonated nitrogen atom with a methyl group connected to it at the other.

Alcohol, water, hydrogen fluoride, formic acid, acetic acid, ammonia, methanol, ethanol, and other well-known substances are a few examples of polar protic solvents. Polar aprotic solvents, on the other hand, lack acidic protons and do not function as donors during hydrogen bonding.
