Answer:

The most reactive compound is: Phenol because the electron donating character of the alcohol group increases the rate of the reaction.

The least reactive compound is nitrobenzene

because the electron withdrawing character of the nitro group decreases the rate of the reaction.

Explanation:

PHENOL-: Any of a group of organic compounds with a hydroxyl (OH) group bound to a carbon atom in an aromatic ring is known as phenol. The word phenol is also the basic name for its simplest member, monohydroxybenzene (C6H5OH), also known as benzenol or carbolic acid, in addition to being the common name for the entire family.
ELECTRON DONATING CHARACTER-: Via the carbon atom it is bound to, an electron donating group (EDG) has the net effect of increasing electron density in a molecule. EDGs alter a molecule's reactivity by increasing electron density on neighboring carbon atoms: EDGs make nucleophiles stronger.
ALCOHOL GROUP-:Each of a class of organic compounds that have one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups bound to an alkyl group's carbon atom (hydrocarbon chain)is called Alcohol. Alcohols are organic compounds of water $(H_2O)$ in which one of the hydrogen atoms has been substituted by an alkyl group, which in organic structures is usually expressed by R.
NITROBENZENE-:The organic compound nitrobenzene has the chemical formula $(C_6H_5NO_2)$ . It's a pale yellow oil that's insoluble in water and smells like almonds. Greenish-yellow crystals form when it freezes. It is made on a wide scale as a precursor to aniline from benzene. It is sometimes used as a solvent in the laboratory, especially for electrophilic reagents.
ELECTRON WITHDRAWING GROUP-: An electron withdrawing group (EWG) is a type of group that reduces electron density in a molecule by bonding to a carbon atom. EWGs alter a molecule's reactivity by reducing electron density on neighboring carbon atoms.
NITRO GROUP-: The nitro group is one of the most widely used explosophores (functional groups that combine to form a compound explosive). In addition, the nitro group is a heavy electron-withdrawing group. CH bonds alpha (adjacent) to the nitro group may be acidic due to this property.

_AlBr3+_K2SO4>_KBR+_Al2(SO4)3

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Balancing chemical equation means making a number of atoms or molecules equal on both sides. In other words, this means that the number of atoms and molecules of each reacting element needs to be the same as the number of atoms and molecules of those elements in the product.

Our reaction is:

AlBr3 + K2SO4 -> KBr + Al2(SO4)3

and we need to balance it.

Since there are 3 molecules of SO4 in the product we need to put 3 before the reactant K2SO4. There are also 2 atoms of Al in the product, so we need to put 2 in front AlBr3. Now we have 6 atoms of K and Br on the left side, so we need to put 6 in front of KBr in the product.

So, our balanced equation will look like this:

2AlBr3 + 3K2SO4 -> 6KBr + Al2(SO4)3

Hydrogen gas (a potential future fuel) can be formed by the reaction of methane with water according to the following equation:

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

60.42% is the percent yield of the reaction.

Explanation:

Moles of methane gas at 734 Torr and a temperature of 25 °C.

Volume of methane gas = V = 26.0 L

Pressure of the methane gas = P = 734 Torr = 0.9542 atm

Temperature of the methane gas = T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

Moles of methane gas = n

$PV=nRT$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9542 atm\times 26.0L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}=1.0135 mol$

Moles of water vapors at 700 Torr and a temperature of 125 °C.

Volume of water vapor = V' = 23.0 L

Pressure of water vapor = P' = 700 Torr = 0.9100 atm

Temperature of water vapor = T' = 125 °C = 398.15 K

Moles of water vapor gas = n'

$P'V'=n'RT'$

$n'=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9100 atm\times 23.0L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 398.15 K}=0.6402 mol$

$CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO(g)+3H_2(g)$

According to reaction , 1 mol of methane reacts with 1 mol of water vapor. As we can see that moles of water vapors are in lessor amount which means it is a limiting reagent and formation of hydrogen gas will depend upon moles of water vapors.

According to reaction 1 mol of water vapor gives 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

Then 0.6402 moles of water vapor will give:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.6402 mol=1.9208 mol$ of hydrogen gas

Moles of hydrogen gas obtained theoretically = 1.9208 mol

The reaction produces 26.0 L of hydrogen gas measured at STP.

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

Then 26 L of volume of gas will be occupied by:

$\frac{1}{22.4 L}\times 26 L= 1.1607 mol$

Moles of hydrogen gas obtained experimentally = 1.1607 mol

Percentage yield of hydrogen gas of the reaction:

$\frac{Experimental}{Theoretical}\times 100$

$\%=\frac{ 1.1607 mol}{1.9208 mol}\times 100=60.42\%$

60.42% is the percent yield of the reaction.
