Answer:

C. BF3

Explanation:

The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid.

For the reactions below, describe the reactor system and conditions you suggest to maximize the selectivity to make the desired

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

hello your question lacks the required reaction pairs below are the missing pairs

Reaction system 1 :

A + B ⇒ D $-r_{1A} = 10exp[-8000K/T]C_{A}C_{B}$

A + B ⇒ U $-r_{2a} = 100exp(-1000K/T)C_{A} ^\frac{1}{2}C_{B} ^\frac{3}{2}$

Reaction system 2

A + B ⇒ D $-r_{1A} = 10exp( -1000K/T)C_{A}C_{B}$

B + D ⇒ U $-r_{2B} = 10^9exp(-10000 K/T) C_{B}C_{D}$

Answer : reaction 1 : description of the reactor system : The desired reaction which is the first reaction possess a higher activation energy and higher temperature is required to kickstart reaction 1

condition to maximize selectivity : To maximize selectivity the concentration of reaction 1 should be higher than that of reaction 2

reaction 2 :

description of reactor system : The desired reaction i.e. reaction 1 has a lower activation energy and lower temperatures is required to kickstart reaction 1

condition to maximize selectivity:

to increase selectivity the concentration of D should be minimal

Explanation:

Reaction system 1 :

A + B ⇒ D $-r_{1A} = 10exp[-8000K/T]C_{A}C_{B}$

A + B ⇒ U $-r_{2a} = 100exp(-1000K/T)C_{A} ^\frac{1}{2}C_{B} ^\frac{3}{2}$

the selectivity of D is represented using the relationship below

$S_{DU} = \frac{-r1A}{-r2A}$

hence SDu = 1/10 * $\frac{exp(-800K/T)}{exp(-1000K/T)} * C_{A} ^{0.5} C_{B} ^{-0.5}$

description of the reactor system : The desired reaction which is the first reaction possess a higher activation energy and higher temperature is required to kickstart reaction 1

condition to maximize selectivity : To maximize selectivity the concentration of reaction 1 should be higher than that of reaction 2

Reaction system 2

A + B ⇒ D $-r_{1A} = 10exp( -1000K/T)C_{A}C_{B}$

B + D ⇒ U $-r_{2B} = 10^9exp(-10000 K/T) C_{B}C_{D}$

selectivity of D

$S_{DU} = \frac{-r1A}{-r2A}$

hence Sdu = $1/10^7 * \frac{exp(-1000K/T)}{exp(-10000K/T)} *\frac{C_{A} }{C_{D} }$

description of reactor system : The desired reaction i.e. reaction 1 has a lower activation energy and lower temperatures is required to kickstart reaction 1

condition to maximize selectivity:

to increase selectivity the concentration of D should be minimal

Fusion is safer than fussion because....

Goryan [66]

Answer: B, a fusion recrion creates waste material that is easier to store than fission.

Fusion produces far less harmful waste than fission does. The reliance of something independent like whether a reaction will stop on its own when something goes wrong is never indefinite (technological failures are unpredictable and destructive a lot of the time when it comes down to nuclear power).

Why do atoms separate in molecules

N76 [4]

Answer:

Atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms when there's an electrostatic attraction between them. This attraction results from the properties and characteristics of the atoms' outermost electrons, which are known as valence electrons.
