Answer:
Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃
Explanation:
The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.
BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:
2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene
butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)
E. co and n2Effusion is the process where gas escapes through a hole. Gases with a lower molecular mass effuse more speedy than gases with a higher molecular mass. R<span>elative rates of effusion is related to the molecular mass.
a) M(N</span>₂)/M(O₂) = 28/32 = 0,875
b) M(N₂O)/M(NO₂) = 44/46 = 0,956
c) M(CO)/M(CO₂) = 28/44 = 0,636
d) M(NO₂)/M(N₂O₂) = 44/58= 0,758
e) M(CO)/M(N₂) = 28/28 = 1, <span>CO and N</span>₂ <span>have iexact molecular masses and will effuse at nearly identical rates.</span>
The answer is either D or B. hope this helps.
