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)
Answer:
A process during which chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new ones are formed, producing one or more substances.
Moles are the amount of substance that contains as many particles.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction is when a chemical change occurs for example when a nail comes into contact with air and is then exposed to air it begins to rust. It forms a red-brown substance which changes the chemical composition of the original compound.
Examples of chemical reactions:
Combustion
Oxidation (rusting)
Cooking an egg
Photosynthesis
Digestion
Fireworks
Paper Burnin
The mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles (molecules, ions or atoms) as there are in 12g of carbon.
1 mol is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12.0 g of carbon-12 and that number is referred to as Avogardo's constant (6.022 x
).
