Answer:

IV

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.

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of HI = 0.550 moles

Volume of container = 2.00 L

$\text{Initial concentration of HI}=\frac{0.550}{2}=0.275M$

For the given chemical equation:

$2HI(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+I_2(g)$

<u>Initial:</u> 0.275

<u>At eqllm:</u> 0.275-2x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[H_2][I_2]}{[HI]^2}$

We are given:

$K_c=0.0156$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$0.0156=\frac{x\times x}{(0.275-2x)^2}\\\\x=-0.0458,0.0275$

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative

So, equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas = x = 0.0275 M

Hence, the concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

In which situation is no work considered to be done by a force?

Masja [62]

If the angle is either 0 or 180, that means that there is either negative or positive work, so A and D are not correct.

If the angle is 45, then there is still some work involved.

The only option where there is no work done by a force is B. when the angle is between the force and displacement is 90.
