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.

Classify each of the following particulate level illustrations as a representation of either a pure substance, a homogeneous mix
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The classification and illustrations are attached in the drawing.

Explanation:

It is possible to identify the pure substance observing the figure, since it is the only one that has 2 joined atoms (purple and blue) which forms a single compound.

On the other hand, the homogeneous mixture is identified by noting that its atoms are more united with respect to the heterogeneous mixture, highlighting that in homogenous mixtures the atoms, elements or substances are not visible to the naked eye and are in a single phase, instead in the heterogeneous mixture if they can be differentiated.

Which requires more energy to move an electron?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

From n=1 to n=2

Explanation:

Electrons in n=1 are strongly attracted to the nucleus and therefore will require great force to overcome the electrostatic force of attraction to displace them from the energy level to another.

The electrostatic force reduces as you progress to the outer energy levels.
