Answer:
The glassware and solvent for the production of grignard reagent and its reaction should by dry and anhydrous so as to prevent the conversion of the grignard reagent into saturated alkane. Acetone, is not a good solvent for the generation of grignard reagent because it has the potential of forming alcohol.
Explanation:
Grignard reagent is a compound formed by the reaction of halide of alkyl or alkene with magnesium metal. This makes the compound more nucleophilic. Thus the availability of an electrophile around it will evoke a quick reaction. The presence of water in an acidic condition will generate hydroxonium ions which are highly electrophilic. There will therefore be an introduction of hydrogen ions to the grignard reagent and which will displace the MgBr leading to the formation of alkane.
Acetone tends to produce alcohol when they are exposed to grignard reagent, thus they are not appropriate to be used as solvent. This is due to the resultant highly electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon on the acetone, thus will react with the nucleophilic carbon on the grignard. The reaction can be represented as follows:
RMgBr + CH3(CO)CH3 + H (with hydrogen ions) >>>RCOH + Mg(OH)Br
D, Neon and argon are both noble gases and contain almost the same elements.
A change in temperature is a sign that a chemical reaction has occurred. This occurs in an endothermic reaction. An endothermic process is any process which requires or absorbs energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat. It may be a chemical process, such as dissolving ammonium nitrate in water, or simply the melting of ice cubes.
Hopefully im not too late :/
Answer:
HF has the higher boiling point because HF molecules are more polar. Part B: CHBr3 molecules possess stronger intermolecular interaction due to higher molar mass than CHCl3
Explanation:
Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine. This implies that HF is more polar and possess stronger hydrogen bonds than HCl molecules.
In part B, the magnitude of dispersion forces depend on molar mass, the greater the molar mass, the greater the magnitude of dispersion forces between molecules, hence CHBr3 has a greater boiling point than CHCl3
