Answer:
It means the chemical entity is a radical
Explanation:
When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.
While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.
In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.
Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?
The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.
Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.
Answer:
NH4Br + AgNO3 —> AgBr + NH4NO3
Explanation:
When ammonium bromide and silver(I) nitrate react, the following are obtained as shown below:
NH4Br(aq) + AgNO3(aq) —>
In solution, NH4Br(aq) and AgNO3(aq) will dissociate as follow:
NH4Br(aq) —> NH4+(aq) + Br-(aq)
AgNO3(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
The double displacement reaction will occur as follow:
NH4+(aq) + Br-(aq) + Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + Br-(aq) + NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
NH4Br(aq) + AgNO3(aq) —> AgBr(s) + NH4NO3(aq)
Answer:
Endothermic
It absorbs heat
1.20 × 10³ kJ
Explanation:
Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.
2 H₂O(l) → 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ΔH = 572 kJ
Since ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic, that is, it absorbs heat when H₂O reacts.
572 kJ are absorbed when 36.03 g of water react. The heat absorbed when 75.8 g of H₂O react is:
75.8 g H₂O × (572 kJ/36.03 g H₂O) = 1.20 × 10³ kJ
