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.

How many grams of XeF6 are required to react with 0.579 L of hydrogen gas at 4.46 atm and 45°C in the reaction shown below?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

8.1433 g of XeF₆  are required.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation;

XeF₆ (s) + 3H₂ (g)   →  Xe (g) + 6HF (g)

Given data:

Volume of hydrogen = 0.579 L

Pressure = 4.46 atm

Temperature = 45 °C (45+273= 318 k)

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the moles of hydrogen

PV = nRT

n = PV/ RT

n = 4.46 atm × 0.579 L / 0.0821 atm. dm³. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ × 318 K

n = 2.6 atm . L / 26.12 atm. dm³. mol⁻¹

n = 0.0995 mol

Mass of hydrogen:

Mass = moles × molar mass

Mass =  0.0995 mol × 2.016 g/mol

Mass =  0.2006 g

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen with XeF₆ from balance chemical equation.

                                         H₂   :  XeF₆

                                          3    :    1

                                 0.0995   : 1/3× 0.0995 = 0.0332 mol

Now we will calculate the mass of XeF₆.

Mass = moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.0332 mol × 245.28 g/mol

Mass = 8.1433 g

The 10x SDS gel electrophoresis buffer contains 250mM Tris HCl, 1.92M Glycine, and 1% (w/v) SDS. Buffers are always used at 1x c
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

25 mM Tris HCl and 0.1% w/v SDS

Explanation:

A <em>10X solution</em> is ten times more concentrated than a <em>1X solution</em>. The stock solution is generally more concentrated (10X) and for its use, a dilution is required. Thus, to prepare a buffer 1X from a 10X buffer, you have to perform a dilution in a factor of 10 (1 volume of 10X solution is taken and mixed with 9 volumes of water). In consequence, all the concentrations of the components are diluted 10 times. To calculate the final concentration of each component in the 1X solution, we simply divide the concentration into 10:

(250 mM Tris HCl)/10 = 25 mM Tris HCl

(1.92 M glycine)/10 = 0.192 M glycine

(1% w/v SDS)/10 = 0.1% w/v SDS

Therefore the final concentrations of Tris and SDS are 25 mM and 0.1% w/v, respectively.

Does standard enthalpy use net ionic equations?a. Trueb. False
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In an ionic reaction, the net ionic equation is used to calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction.

Hence the standard enthalpy of any ionic reaction can be obtained by considering its balanced net ionic reaction equation, hence the answer above.
