What would you expect to observe when Br2 reacts with 2-butyne?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nookie1986 [14]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I expect to observe a change in colour from reddish brown to a colourless solution

Explanation:

Bromine (Br2) attacks the electron rich carbon-carbon triple bond in but-2-yne, an alkyne to form an initial product 2, 3 dibromobut-2-ene; which reacts with excess bromine to form a final product 2,2,3,3 -tetrabromobutane.

The reaction occurs in two steps. On approaching but-2-yne, bromine molecule becomes polarised forming an induced dipole containing a bromonium ion.

Br - Br → Br+ - Br-

The bromonium ion (Br+) formed then attacks the carbon - carbon triple bond to form the initial product

2,3- dibromobut-2-ene

CH2-C≡C-CH2 + Br+ →

CH2 - CBr =CBr-CH2

(2,3- dibromobut-2-ene)

Which in the presence of excess bromine gives the final product

2,2,3,3 - tetrabromobutane.

CH2 - CBr =CBr-CH2 + Br2 →

CH3 -CBr2-CBr2 - CH3

2,2,3,3 - tetrabromobutane.

A visible change in colour from the reddish-brown colour of Bromine to a colourless solution is observed during the reaction.

Identify each of the following solids as molecular, ionic, or atomic.
Kisachek [45]

Answer :

(A) Br₂ (s) : molecular solids

(B) AgCl (s) : ionic solids

(C) S (s) : atomic solids

(D) CH₄ (s) : molecular solids

Explanation :

Molecular solids : It is defined as the solids in which they are held together by covalent forces, dipole interactions as attractive forces etc.

Ionic solids : It is defined as the solids in which the atoms composed with oppositely charged ions.

Atomic solids : It is defined as the solids in which the molecules are held together by covalent forces and also includes pure substance.

(A) Br₂ (s)

It is molecular solids because they are held together by covalent forces.

(B) AgCl (s)

It is ionic solids because in this atoms composed with oppositely charged ions.

(C) S (s)

It is atomic solids because it is a pure substance.

(D) CH₄ (s)

It is molecular solids because they are held together by covalent forces.

Salt is poured from a container at 10 cm³ s-¹ and it formed a conical pile whose height at any time is 1/5 the radius of the abo
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{1}{10 \pi}

Explanation:

Volume of a cone:

  • \displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

We have \displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{10 \ cm^3}{sec} and we want to find \displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} \Biggr | _{h\ =\ 6}= \ ? when the height is 2 cm.

We can see in our equation for the volume of a cone that we have three variables: V, r, and h.

Since we only have dV/dt and dh/dt, we can rewrite the equation in terms of h only.

We are given that the height of the cone is 1/5 the radius at any given time, 1/5r, so we can write this as r = 5h.

Plug this value for r into the volume formula:

  • \displaystyle V =\frac{1}{3} \pi (5h)^2 h  
  • \displaystyle V =\frac{1}{3} \pi \ 25h^3

Differentiate this equation with respect to time t.

  • \displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}  =\frac{25}{3} \pi \ 3h^2 \ \frac{dh}{dt}
  • \displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}  =25 \pi h^2 \ \frac{dh}{dt}

Plug known values into the equation and solve for dh/dt.

  • \displaystyle 10 = 25 \pi (2)^2  \ \frac{dh}{dt}
  • \displaystyle 10 = 100 \pi  \ \frac{dh}{dt}  

Divide both sides by 100π to solve for dh/dt.

  • \displaystyle \frac{10}{100 \pi} = \frac{dh}{dt}
  • \displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{1}{10 \pi}

The height of the cone is increasing at a rate of 1/10π cm per second.

Now, examine the structures of benzhydrol and fluorene. Both compounds contain the same number of carbons but have very differen
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The OH group

Explanation:

Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.
