Answer:

here you go

Explanation:

The reaction of phenol with bromine is known as bromination of phenol. Solvent has great influence on the reaction. In different solvents, different products are obtained. The action of bromine on phenol can be explained as:

Reaction with bromine in water:—-

Reaction with bromine in water

Phenol reacts with bromine water to give 2,4,6-tribromophenol.

In water, ionisation is facilitated. Phenol gets ionised to form phenoxide ion, which is even better ortho,para-directing. Bromine also gets ionised to a larger extent to form a large number of bromonium ions. And Bromine ions are highly stabilized in ionic solvents. So the formation of strong o,p-directing group and stabilization of Br+ enhances the formation of tribromophenol.

Reaction with bromine in CS2:—-

Reaction with bromine in non-polar organic solvents

Phenol reacts with bromine in a presence of Carbon disulphide to form a mixture of o-bromophenol and p-bromophenol. Among which p-bromophenol predominates. In CS2 ionisation is not facilitated that much. As it is a non-polar solvent it doesn't the Br+ on. Also −OH group is moderately o,p-directing. So as usual para-product is more formed.

Imagine that the apparent weight of the crown in water is <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W_%7Bapparent%7D" id="TexFormula1" t

Ahat [919]

Answer : The crown is not made of pure (100%) gold.

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\frac{W_{apparent}}{W_{actual}}=1-\frac{\rho_w}{\rho_c}$

where,

$W_{apparent}$ = apparent weight of the crown in water = 4.50 N

$W_{actual}$ = actual weight = 5.00 N

$\rho_w$ = density of water = $1.00g/cm^3$

$\rho_c$ = density of crown = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\frac{4.50N}{5.00N}=1-\frac{1.00g/cm^3}{\rho_c}$

$\rho_c=10g/cm^3$

Density of crown < Density of gold

$10g/cm^3$

Thus, the crown is not made of pure (100%) gold.

Which best describes a compound such as sodium chloride? a) a pure substance that can be separated into different elements by ph

vitfil [10]

Answer:

d) a pure substance that can be separated into different elements by chemical means.

Explanation:

Hello,

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a chemical compound composed by sodium and chlorine. They are chemically bonded through a ionic bond which means that the sodium transfers just one electron (valence electron) to the chlorine to form the bond. Now, if we want to separate them, we must induce a chemical process because bond breaking implies a chemical change, not physical. Thus, a typical way to separate them (break the bond) is via electrolysis in which an electric driving force induce the aforementioned breakdown.

Best regards.

Which material can best be used to cast a footwear or tire impression?

mixer [17]

Answer:

B.) cement

Explanation:

The commonest types of impression evidence found in crime scenes include footprints, tire tracks, bite marks and tool marks etc.These types of impression evidence can be used by crime scene investigators to link the suspects to the crime.

The impressions are usually cast using gypsum cement and other forms of casting tools to preserve the evidence and make it useful during any period in the course of the investigation.

Student took 1.52ml of a stock CuSO4 solution, with a given concentration of 3.26mg/ml. He then added water to the solution unti

Bumek [7]

To solve this we use the equation,

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.
