The formation of tert-butanol is described by the following chemical equation: Suppose a two-step mechanism is proposed for this

reaction, beginning with this elementary reaction: Suppose also that the second step of the mechanism should be bimolecular. Suggest a reasonable second step. That is, write the balanced chemical equation of a bimolecular elementary reaction that would complete the proposed mechanism.

Answer:

(CH3)3C^+ + OH^-  --------> (CH3)3COH

Explanation:

This reaction has to do with SN1 reaction of alkyl halides. Here tert-butanol is formed from tert-butyl bromide.

The first step in the reaction is the formation of a carbocation. This is a unimolecular reaction. The rate of reaction depends on the concentration of the alkyl halide. This is a slow step and thus the rate determining step in the mechanism.

(CH3)3CBr -------> (CH3)3C^+ + Br^-

The second step is a fast step and it completes the reaction mechanism. It is a bimolecular reaction as follows;

(CH3)3C^+ + OH^-  --------> (CH3)3COH

The chemical equation for the formation of ammonia is unbalanced.
ratelena [41]
Balance Chemical equation is as follow,

<span>                           3 H</span>₂ <span>(g) + N</span>₂ <span>(g)    </span>→<span>    2 NH</span>₃ <span>(g)

According to balanced equation, 3 Molecules (3 moles) of Hydrogen reacts with 1 Molecule of N</span>₂ to produce 2 moles (2 Molecules) of NH₃.

Result:
          2 Molecules of Ammonia are produced by reacting 3 molecules of Hydrogen and 1 molecule of Nitrogen.

In an ideal situation where no heat energy is produced, what is the relationship between the chemical energy provided by the bat
kow [346]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. Hence, chemical energy in a battery can be converted to electrical energy.

Usually, the conversion of energy from one form to another is not 100% efficient according to the second law of thermodynamics. Some energy is wasted in the process, sometimes as heat.

Hence, in an ideal situation where no heat energy is produced; all the chemical energy is converted to electrical energy (100% energy conversion). There will be no energy loss if no heat is produced.

Maleic acid is an organic compound composed of 41.39% , 3.47% , and the rest oxygen. If 0.378 mole of maleic acid has a mass of
storchak [24]

Answer:

Empirical CHO

molecular C4H4O4

Explanation:

From the question, we know that it contains 41.39% C , 3.47% H and the rest oxygen. To get the % composition of the oxygen, we simply add the carbon and hydrogen together and subtract from 100%.

This means : O = 100 - 41.39 - 3.47 = 55.14%

Next is to divide the percentage compositions by their atomic masses.

C = 41.39/12 = 3.45

O = 55.14/16 = 3.45

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

Now we divide by the smallest value which is 3.45. We can deduce that this will definitely give us an answer of 1 all through as the values are very similar.

Hence the empirical formula of Maleic acid is CHO

Now we go on to deduce the molecular formula.

To do this we need the molar mass. I.e the amount in grammes per one mole of the compound.

Now we can see that 0.378mole = 43.8g

Then 1 mole = xg

x = (43.8*1)/0.378 = 115.87 = apprx 116

[CHO]n = 116

(12 + 1 + 16]n = 116

29n = 116

n = 116/29 = 4

The molecular formula is thus C4H4O4
