Answer:

an increase in 1-butene was observed when t-butoxide was used

Explanation:

When a base reacts with an alkyl halide, an elimination product is formed. This reaction is an E2 reaction.

Here we are to compare the reaction of two different bases with one substrate; 2-bromobutane. Both reactions occur by the E2 mechanism but follow different transition states due to the size of the base.

The Saytzeff product, 2-butene, is obtained when the methoxide is used while the non Saytzeff product, 1-butene, is obtained when t-butoxide is used.

The Saytzeff rule is reliable in predicting the major products of simple elimination reactions of alkyl halides given the fact that a small/strong bases is used for the elimination reaction. Therefore hydroxide, methoxide and ethoxide bases give similar results for the same alkyl halide substrate. Bulky bases such as tert-butoxide tend to yield a higher percentage of the non Saytzeff product and this is usually attributed to steric hindrance.

the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation.

These are called genes. One mate reporduces with another made and the genetic buildup merges 50 % and 50% with genetics(if it's meiosis), or DNA codes from the parents to the offspring that then possess some of the genes. That shows heridity.

if you have a solution that contains 46.85 g of codeine, C18H21NO3, in 125.5 g of ethanol, C2H5OH, what is the mole fraction of
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The mole fraction of codeine is 5.4%

Explanation:

Mole fraction = Mole of solute / Total moles (Mole solute + Mole solvent)

Solute (Codeine)

Molar mass 299.36 g/m

Mass / Molar mass = Mole →  46.85 g /299.36 g/m = 0.156 moles

Solvent (Ethanol)

Molar mass 46.07 g/m

125.5 g / 46.07 g/m = 2.724 moles

Mole fraction (Codeine) 0.156 / (0.156 + 2.724) → 0.054

Which statement is correct about the reaction that occurs between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?
Alex

Answer

Hi, the correct answer is,

B. It is an acid-base reaction because the sodium hydroxide base reacts with the hydrochloric acid to form a salt and water

Explanation

When an acid reacts with a base, the products are salt and water.In this case, sodium hydroxide is a base which contains hydroxide ions, OH-, whereas hydrochloric acid is an acid that has Hydrogen ions, H+.When they react, they form sodium chloride, NaCl in aqueous solution as the salt , and additional water molecules. The equation is;

NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
