Answer:

Explanation:

The complete question is shown in the image attached.

Let us call to mind the fact that the SN1 mechanism involves the formation of carbocation in the rate determining step. The order of stability of cabocations is; tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl.

Hence, a tertiary alkyl halide is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism since it forms a more stable cabocation in the rate determining step.

Structure IV is a tertiary alkyl halide, hence it is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism.

A certain block is floating in water with 77% of itself submerged. It has a length of 4.3 cm, a width of 5.9 cm, and a height of

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

f. 0.0537 kg

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the formula for force of buoyancy (Fb) = Vs × D × g

Where; Fb= Force of buoyancy

Vs= Volume of submerged

block

D= Density of water that block

submerges in

g= acceleration due to gravity

In this question, volume of block can be calculated using L×B×H

= 4.3cm × 5.9cm × 2.75cm = 69.7675cm^3

If 77% of the block is submerged in water, then 77/100 × 69.7675cm^3

= 53.72cm^3 is the Volume of submerged block

Density of water is known as 1000kg/m^3 while the gravitational force is 10m/s^2

We need to convert the Vs (volume of submerged block) to m^3 by dividing by 1,000,000

Hence, Vs = 53.72/1000000

Vs= 0.00005372m^3

Using the formula; (Fb) = Vs × D × g

Fb = 0.00005372m^3 × 1000kg/m^3 × 10m/s^2

Fb = 0.5372kg/m/s^2

Therefore, the force of buoyancy of the object on water is 0.5372kg/m/s^2

Recall that; Mass (m) = Volume (V) × Density (D)

Force of buoyancy (Fb) = Vs×D = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g)

i.e. mass = Fb/g

= Mass of the block = 0.5372/10

Mass = 0.05372kg

Therefore, the mass of the block in kg is 0.05372kg

Basile [38]

During the experiment, scientists noted that several of the reaction beakers became hot to the touch. All of the following reactions could cause this result except endothermic and positive ∆H experiments.

<u>Explanation:</u>

If the beakers are becoming hot during experimentation, then that means the energy is being released from the reactants during this experiment. As the energy is being released that enthalpy change will also be negative as the enthalpy change is calculated as the difference of enthalpy of reactants from products.

So in these cases, heat is released making the beakers hot. So for the exceptional case, the experiment should be endothermic in nature and positive enthalpy change should be there in the experiment. Such that the heat will not be released leading to no heating of beakers.
