Answer and Explanation:

Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.

Ring opening of epoxide with acid:  

In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)

Ring opening of epoxide with base:  

The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.

Temperature, cloud cover and thunder are all examples of weather.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Weather is described as conditions that prevail for a short period of time and the above-mentioned factors change variably throughout the day. Cloud cover simply describes the clouds coverage in the sky. It is one factor that is used to describe weather conditions since the type of clouds indicates prevailing weather.

For example, the presence of cirrus means there will be a storm in 24 to 48 hours. Weather conditions characterized by thunder is said to be stormy and it also has other conditions such as lightning, wind and fast rain with heavy raindrops. Temperature affects the warmness and coldness of the air and its movement. Moreover, it also affects all other aspects of weather conditions.

The answer is head-to-tail joining of monomers. Monomer used in condensation have  two functional groups that combine to form amide and ester linkages. When this reaction occurs, water molecules is removed and that is why it is called a condensation reaction.

When the piston in the Boyle’s Law apparatus is at rest, what is the relationship between the pressure of the trapped gas and th
Andru [333]

Answer:

Pressure of the trapped gas and the pressure on the outside on the piston are the same.

Explanation:

When the piston is at rest, then it exist a mechanical equilibrium, that is to say, that pressure of the trapped gas is equal to the pressure on the outside of the piston.

In which direction did the following equilibrium shift when it was placed in the hot water bath? [CoCl4] 2- (aq) + 6H2O (l) ⇌ [C
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The equilibrium position will shift towards the lefthand side.

Explanation:

[CoCl4] 2- (aq) + 6H2O (l) ⇌ [Co(H2O)6] 2+ (aq) + 4 Cl- (aq)

The equation written above in exothermic as written. That is, the forward reaction is exothermic. The equilibrium position is observable by monitoring the colour change of the solution. At the left hand side, the solution is blue but at the right hand side the solution is pink. Addition of heat (in a hot water bath) will shift the equilibrium towards the left hand side, that is formation of more [CoCl4] 2- making the solution to appear blue in colour.
