Elanso [62]2 years ago

Friedel-Crafts alkylation requires dry conditions because AlCl3 may combine with water thereby hindering the reaction.

Friedel-Crafts involves the introduction of an alkyl group into a benzene ring. This occurs by electrophilic substitution of a proton on the aromatic ring with an alkyl group.

The set up must be free from water because water could inactivate the Lewis acid (AlCl3) due to combination of the Lewis acid with water thereby hindering the reaction.

Why is knowing the density of water important to us? Give a reasonable answer
Ahat [919]
Measuring density is very important for many different industries because the density measurement will help determine the characteristics of a material, for example, whether the material will float or sink. Knowing the density of a material helps in determining the mass and volume of a material, all of which are extremely important measurements in all industries.

Westkost [7]
1) Write the balanced equation to state the molar ratios:

<span>3H2(g) + N2(g) → 2NH3(g)

=> molar ratios = 3 mol H2 : 1 mol N2 : 2 mol NH3

What volume of nitrogen is needed to produce 250.0 L of ammonia gas at STP?

First, convert the 250.0 L of NH3 to number of moles at STP .

Use the fact that 1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L

=> 250.0 L * 1mol/22.4 L = 11.16 L

Second, use the molar ratio to find the number of moles of N2 that produces 11.16 L of NH3

=> 11.16 L NH3 * [1 mol N2 / 2 mol NH3] = 5.58 mol N2

Third, convert 5.58 mol N2 into liters at STP

=> 5.58 mol N2 * [22.4 L/mol] = 124.99 liters

Answer: 124,99 liters

What volume of hydrogen is needed to produce 2.50 mol NH3 at STP?
 

First, find the number of moles of H2 that produce 2.50 mol by using the molar ratios:

2.50 mol NH3 * [3mol H2 / 2 mol NH3] = 3.75 mol H2

Second, convert the number of moles to liters of gas at STP:

3.75 mol * 22.4 L/mol =  84 liters of H2

Answer: 84 liters

In the reaction Ca + Cl2 → CaCl2, what is the mole ratio of chlorine to calcium chloride?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

D. 1:1

Explanation:

For every 1 mole of chlorine (Cl₂), there is one mole of calcium chloride (CaCl₂).

So, the mole ratio of chlorine to calcium chloride is 1:1.

Hope this helps. :)
