Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that the colliding reactant molecules must possess for the formation of products. Lower the activation energy, higher will be chance of formation of products. So activation energy is the minimum energy requirement that has to overcome for the reaction to be completed. Therefore, when in a chemical reaction the reactant molecules do not collide with required activation energy, the collisions will not be fruitful even if they are properly oriented which means that the products will not form.
Hence the correct answer will be B.) no products will be formed
The dichloromethane (DCM) has less density than water and also the polarity of water is much more than DCM. So the mixture of water and dichloromethane will always be a heterogeneous mixture. In the mixture dichloromethane will be always up of the water layer. The volume of the separatory funnel which contains the mixture of DCM and water must have to be more than the total volume of the liquids thus the volume of the funnel will be more than (50+50) = 100mL.
The caution have to consider during the separation are-
1. The separatory funnel have to shake well with lid and have to settle down for some times until the two liquid separated.
2. The lid should be open very slowly as the vapor pressure of DCM is more and it will float on the water.
3. After this the stopcock should be opened and slowly the water will come out first followed by DCM.
