Answer:

CH4 + Cl2 → CH3-Cl + HCl

2CH3-Cl +2Na → C2H6

CH3-CH2-OH ---(conc. H2SO4)----> CH2=CH2 + H2O

Explanation:

1. Conversion of methane to ethane

Step 1 - Treat methane with chlorine gas presence of ultraviolet light

CH4 + Cl2 → CH3-Cl + HCl

Step 2 - Treat chloromethane formed in step 1 with the sodium metal and dry ether (Wrutz synthesis)

2CH3-Cl +2Na → C2H6

2. On treating ethanol with excess of concentrated sulfuric acid, it converts into ethene

CH3-CH2-OH ---(conc. H2SO4)----> CH2=CH2 + H2O

Since the half-life of 235U (7. 13 x 108 years) is less than that of 238U (4.51 x 109 years), the isotopic abundance of 235U has

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$\mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}$

Explanation:

Given that:

The Half-life of $^{235}U$ = $7.13 \times 10^8 \ years$ is less than that of $^{238} U = 4.51 \times 10^9 \ years$

Although we are not given any value about the present weight of $^{235}U$ .

So, consider the present weight in the percentage of $^{235}U$ to be y%

Then, the time elapsed to get the present weight of $^{235}U$ = $t_1$

Therefore;

$N_1 = N_o e^{-\lambda \ t_1}$

here;

$N_1$ = Number of radioactive atoms relating to the weight of y of $^{235}U$

Thus:

$In( \dfrac{N_1}{N_o}) = - \lambda t_1$

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) = \lambda t_1$ --- (1)

However, Suppose the time elapsed from the initial stage to arrive at the weight of the percentage of $^{235}U$ to be = $t_2$

Then:

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) = \lambda t_2$ ---- (2)

here;

$N_2$ = Number of radioactive atoms of $^{235}U$ relating to 3.0 a/o weight

Now, equating equation (1) and (2) together, we have:

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) -In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) = \lambda( t_1-t_2)$

replacing the half-life of $^{235}U$ = $7.13 \times 10^8 \ years$

$In( \dfrac{N_2}{N_1}) = \dfrac{In 2}{7.13 \times 10^9}( t_1-t_2)$ ( since $\lambda = \dfrac{In 2}{t_{1/2}}$ )

∴

$\mathtt{In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2}= t_1-t_2}$

The time elapsed signifies how long the isotopic abundance of 235U equal to 3.0 a/o

Thus, The time elapsed is $\mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}$

Why can liquid boil at a low pressure?

Paladinen [302]

Answer: I found this online. Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

This pressure is transmitted throughout the liquid and makes it more difficult for bubbles to form and for boiling to take place. If the pressure is reduced, the liquid requires less energy to change to a gaseous phase, and boiling occurs at a lower temperature.

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) What happens to the rate of most reactions as the reaction progresses? The rate remai

Sav [38]

Answer: -

The rate decreases as the concentration of the reactants decreases

Explanation: -

A reaction involves change of the reactants into products.

Initially there is only reactants. So the rate if reaction is high.

After some time there are products. So the amount of reactant is less.

Reactions involve collisions of reactant molecules. As the reactant amount decreases, collisions between the reactants decreases. As such the rate of reaction decreases with the progress of the reaction.

CalcuLate the velocity of an electron ejected if 300.0 mm of light is applied to the surface. A wavelength of 795 nm has suffici

worty [1.4K]

The equation relating velocity and wavelength is written below:

v = λf
where λ is the wavelength in m while f is frequency in 1/s.

Let's determine first the frequency from the speed of light:
c = distance/time, where c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
3×10⁸ m/s = (300 mm)(1 m/1000 mm)/ time
time = 1×10⁻⁹ seconds
Since f = 1/t,
f = 1/1×10⁻⁹ seconds = 10⁹ s⁻¹

Thus,
v = (795×10⁻⁹ m)(10⁹ s⁻¹)
v = 795 m/s
