Answer:

Three main processes control mountain height: lateral support of mountains from tectonic forces, which stops mountains from collapsing under their own weight or pushes them up against gravity; climate-controlled erosion; and isostasy, which keeps mountains afloat on the hot and soft mantle material.

How many moles of CH3CH2Br are contained in 422 mL of 0.0950 M CH3CH2Br solution?

allochka39001 [22]

M= moles/L

422mL = 422/1000 = 0.422 L

0.0950 M = ? moles / 0.422 L
0.0950 Moles/ L X 0.422 L = 0.0401 moles

Is cyclopentane an isomer of pentane? Explain.

Georgia [21]

Cyclopentane is NOT an isomer of pentane.

Isomers must have the same molecular formula.

The molecular formula of pentane is C₅H₁₂, while the molecular formula of cyclopentane is C₅H₁₀.

The two molecules cannot be isomers.

Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br2, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermedia

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached for details

Explanation:

The reaction involves the heterolytic fission of the Br-Br bond in the bromine molecule to yield a bromine cation which attacks the but-1-ene to form a cyclic intermediate called the brominium ion. The bromine anion must now attack from the opposite face of the brominium ion due to steric clashes to form a product of a 1,2-dibromoalkane having the anti- stereochemistry.
