Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: Formation of hydrogen iodide will occur.

Explanation:

When molecule of hydrogen gas (H_2) and molecule of iodine gas (I_2) collide with proper orientation and with sufficient amount of energy. This collision of the two different molecules of gases will result in the formation of hydrogen iodide.

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction will written as:

H_2(g)+I_2(g)\righarrow 2HI(g)

Using your knowledge of reactions and mechanisms, draw the mechanism for the formation of 2-methylpropene from 2-methyl-2-propan
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

The reaction is an E1 elimination of an alcohol to form an alkene. It has three steps:

1. Protonation

The alcohol is protonated with aqueous sulfuric acid to convert it into a better leaving group.

2. Loss of the leaving group

A water molecule leaves in a unimolecular process to form a stable 3° carbocation.

3. Loss of an α-hydrogen

A water molecule removes an α-hydrogen, forming 2-methylpropene and regenerating the original hydronium ion.

Explain how carbon is conserved in the carbon cycle.
jek_recluse [69]
<h2> Interconversion of energy.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils in the form of cycle.
  • When we take in oxygen we release carbon dioxide gas (CO_{2})into the atmosphere.
  • Animals and plants give carbon dioxide gas through the process called respiration and transpiration.
  • From fossil fuels carbon moves in the atmosphere.
  • The fuels like wood or coal when burned releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
  • The Matter is conserved in the carbon cycle as carbon absorbs energy and then it releases the same amount of energy.
  • Carbon changes from one form to another, but the total amount of carbon remains the same.
