Answer:

Exothermic

Explanation:

Burning wood provides heat through the exothermic chemical reaction of oxygen (O) with cellulose (C6H10O5), the major chemical component of wood, to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), steam (H2O) and heat.

In an aqueous solution, 42% of a substance dissociates to release hydronium ions. Which of the following statements is true for

const2013 [10]

Answer: The statement it is a weak acid is true for the substance.

Explanation:

An acid that dissociates completely when dissolved in water to give hydrogen $(H^{+})$ or hydronium $(H_{3}O^{+})$ ions is called a strong acid.

For example, HCl is a strong acid.

$HCl + H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{3}O^{+} + Cl^{-}$

An acid that dissociates partially or weakly when dissolved in water to given hydrogen or hydronium ions is called a weak acid.

For example, $CH_{3}COOH$ is a weak acid.

$CH_{3}COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}$

A strong base is a base which when dissolved in water then it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ions.

For example, NaOH is a strong acid.

A weak base is a base which when dissolved in water then it dissociates partially or weakly to give hydroxide ions.

For example, $NH_{3}$ is a weak base.

Hence, in an aqueous solution where 42% of a substance dissociates to release hydronium ions shows that the dissociation is less than 50%. This means that substance is dissociating weakly so, it is a weak acid.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it is a weak acid is true for the substance.

There are four different starting molecules that one might use to synthesize the illustrated alkyl halide as the major product u

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

An electrophilic addition reaction occurs when an electrophile attacks a substrate, with the end result being the inclusion of one or many comparatively straightforward molecules along with multiple bonds.

In the given question, the hydrogen bromide provides the electrophile while the bromide is the nucleophile. The mechanism proceeds with the attack of the electrophile on the carbon, followed by deprotonation. This process is continued with a formation of carbocation and the bromide(nucleophile) finally bonds to the carbocation to form a stable product.

The first diagram showcases the possible various starting molecules for the synthesis while the second diagram illustrates their mechanism.
