In one kind of nuclear reaction, two nuclei fuse, or join together, to form a larger nucleus. This kind of reaction happens only

at very high pressures. Explain why such high pressures are necessary to cause these reactions to occur.

High pressures are necessary to create such reaction so that the particles will be able to overcome electrostatic repulsion. The particles that make up a particular atom are covered by shells of energy that react to different impulses like pressure. When particles are exposed to extreme environmental pressure it has the tendency to split its particles and undergo nuclear fusion successfully.

When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.

When excess potassium hydroxide and H2SeO3 react whats the net ionic reaction for the acid-base rxn
Bad White [126]

The required net ionic equation is; 2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)-----> 2H2O(l)

The molecular reaction equation is;

H2SeO3(aq) + 2KOH(aq) -----> K2SeO3(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The complete ionic equation is;

2H^+(aq) + SeO3^2-(aq) + 2K^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)-----> 2K^+(aq) + SeO3^2-(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Net ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)-----> 2H2O(l)

We can clearly see that this is a neutralization reaction hence water is the product of the net ionic equation.

The combustion of methane is a reaction commonly used in chemistry problems due to its ability to fit into multiple topics. So i
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

20.76 L OF CO2 WILL BE PRODUCED BY 45 G OF METHANE.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

CH4 + 02 --------> CO2 + 2H20

Molar mass of methane = ( 12+ 1*4) g/mol = 16 g/mol

Calculate the number of moles present in 45 g of methane

1 mole of methane = 16 g / mol of methane

(45 / 16) mole of methane = 45 g of methane

= 2.8125 moles

Using the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

P = 1 atm

n = 2.812 moles

T = 90 C

R = 0.082 L atm/ mol C

V = unknown

So we have:

V = nRT / P

V = 2.8125 * 0.082 * 90 / 1

V = 20.756 L

In the production of CO2 by 45 g of methane, 20.756 L of methane was used.

Then, the volume of CO2 produced by this volume will be 20.756 L since 1 mole of methane produces 1 mole of CO2.

In other words;

1 mole of CH4 = 1 mole of CO2

22.4 dm3 of CH4 = 22.4 dm3 of CO2

20.76 DM3 = 20.76 dm3

The volume of CO2 produced will therefore be 20.76 L
