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 Valence Electrons of an Atom of Which Element would feel a Greater Effective Nuclear Charge than the Valence?
kumpel [21]
The effective nuclear charge is an innate property of a specific element. It is the pull of force that an electron feels from the nucleus. It is related to the valence electron by the equation: Z* = Z-S, where Z* is the effective nuclear charge, Z is the atomic number and S is the shielding constant.

For the following elements in the choices, these are their values of Z*:

Aluminum - +12.591
Beryllium - +1.912
Hydrogen - +1
Carbon - +4

The effective nuclear charge of Boron is +3. Thus, the answers are  Aluminum and Carbon.

Based on the sign of E cell, classify these reactions as spontaneous or non spontaneous as written.? assume standard conditions.
sammy [17]
A electrochemical reaction is said to be spontaneous, if E^{0} cell is positive. 

Answer 1:
Consider reaction: <span>Ni^2+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) ----> + Ni (s) + S (s) 

The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
    </span>S^{2-}/S //  Ni^{2+}/Ni

Hence, E^{0}cell =  E^{0} Ni^{2+/Ni} -  E^{0} S/S^{2-}
we know that, {E^{0} Ni^{2+}/Ni  = -0.25 v
and {E^{0} S/ S^{2-}  = -0.47 v

Therefore, E^{0} cell = - 0.25 - (-0.47) = 0.22 v

Since,  E^{0} cell is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous
.....................................................................................................................

Answer 2: 
Consider reaction: <span>Pb^2+ (aq) +H2 (g) ----> Pb (s) +2H^+ (aq)
</span>
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
    H_{2} /  H^{+} //  Pb^{2+} /Pb

Hence, E^{0}cell = E^{0} Pb/Pb^{2+} - E^{0} H_{2}/H^{+}
we know that, {E^{0} Pb^{2+}/Pb = -0.126 v
and {E^{0} H_{2}/ H^{+} = -0 v

Therefore, E^{0} cell = - 0.126 - 0 = -0.126 v

Since,  E^{0} cell is negative, hence cell reaction is non-spontaneous.

....................................................................................................................

Answer 3: 
Consider reaction: <span>2Ag^+ (aq) + Cr(s) ---> 2 Ag (s) +Cr^2+ (aq)
</span>
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
    Cr/Cr^{2+} // Ag^{+}/Ag

Hence, E^{0}cell = E^{0} Ag^{+}/Ag - E^{0} Cr/Cr^{2+}
we know that, {E^{0} Ag^{+}/Ag = -0.22 v
and {E^{0} Cr/ Cr^{2+} = -0.913 v

Therefore, E^{0} cell = - 0.22 - (-0.913) = 0.693 v

Since,  E^{0} cell is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous

What process forms an image in a mirror? Choices: A. absorbing light B. Reflecting light C. Refracting light D. Transmitting lig
Dafna1 [17]

Answer

Using the law of reflection—the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence—we can see that the image and object are the same distance from the mirror. This is a virtual image, since it cannot be projected—the rays only appear to originate from a common point behind the mirror.

Explanation:

Hope this helps someone
