A student plans a two-step synthesis of 1-ethyl-3-nitrobenzene from benzene. The first step is nitration of benzene to give nitr

obenzene, and the second step is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation using CH3CH2Cl and AlCl3. The plan is flawed because: A : When the alkyl halide interacts with AlCl3, the resulting carbocation can rearrange before it has a chance to react with the aromatic ring. B : Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation. C : The nitro group will direct the incoming alkyl group para position, rather than to the meta position. D : A blocking group is required to achieve this synthesis.

Answer:

Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Explanation:

The benzene ring in itself does not easily undergo electrophilic substitution reaction. Some groups activate or deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reactions.

-NO2 ia a highly deactivating substituent therefore, Friedel-Crafts alkylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.

This reaction scheme is therefore flawed because Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

3) How many moles of solute are dissolved in 1.5 L of a 0.80 M solution? * 10 points
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.2

Explanation:

Molarity = moles/volume

to find the moles, you must multiply both sides by volume

so, take 1.5 L * 0.80 M

this equals 1.2 :)

How much energy (kJ) is required to change 0.18 mole of ice (s) at 0 C to water (l) at 0 C?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:25,06 kJ of energy must be added to a 75 g block of ice.

ΔHfusion(H₂O) = 6,01 kJ/mol.

T(H₂O) = 0°C.

m(H₂O) = 75 g.

n(H₂O) = m(H₂O) ÷ M(H₂O).

n(H₂O) = 75 g ÷ 18 g/mol.

n(H₂O) = 4,17 mol.

Q = ΔHfusion(H₂O) · n(H₂O)

Q = 6,01 kJ/mol · 4,17 mol

Q = 25,06 kJ.
