Answer:

Rubbing the match against a rough surface

The activation energy is provided by friction between surfaces

Explanation:

Activation energy is the energy required to start a chemical reaction. It is the minimum energy that must be supplied for a reaction to proceed.

When we strike a match against a rough surface, what we are trying to do is to supply the required activation energy in the form of friction in order to get the combustion reaction started.

Hence, the activation energy for the combustion of a match head is supplied by friction when the match head is struck against a rough surface.

Give the structures of the substitution products expected when 1-bromohexane reacts with: part a naoch2ch3
Yuri [45]

Actually since Bromine is located at the 1 Carbon, so we can say that this is a primary alkyl halide and which undergoes SN2 or E2 reactions. This reaction is a bimolecular, single step process because it is a primary.

<span>The substitution product formed will be 1-ethoxybutane (main product) and sodium bromide (side product).</span>
