Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Reagent A: PBr₃

Reagent B: Mg in Et₂O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, your facing a problem in which a carboxylic acid is produced starting by an alcohol. More specifically, cyclopentanol must react with phosphorous tribromide in order to yield bromocyclopentane which is more likely to produce a carboxylic acid, therefore, reagent A is PBr₃.

On the other hand, by means of the production of the specified product, bromocyclopentane must react with carbon dioxide and magnesium in diethyl ether in acidic media to promote the production of the cyclopentanoic acid via the grignard reaction (substitution of the bromine by the carboxyle group), therefore, reagent B is Mg in Et₂O.

Best regards.

If 200 g of water is heated from 20 C to 40 C, then what is the heat added in kilocalories (same as food calories)?

Maslowich

Answer: 4Kcal

Explanation:

H= mcø

M=200g

C= 1 cal/g/°c

Ø= 40-20=20°c

H= 200*1*20= 4000calories= 4Kcal

Be sure to answer all parts. Nitric oxide, NO·, is a radical thought to cause ozone destruction by a mechanism similar to that o

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See image attached and explanation

Explanation:

The stratospheric ozone layer is very important in absorbing high-energy ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to living systems on earth. The concentration of ozone in the stratosphere is determined by both thermal and photochemical pathways for its decomposition. Nitric oxide, NO, is a trace constituent in the stratosphere that reacts with ozone to form nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and the diatomic oxygen molecule. The nitrogen-oxygen bond in NO2 is relatively weak. When an NO2 molecule encounters an oxygen atom, it transfers an oxygen, forming O2 and NO. The chemical reactions involved are formations of NO2 following by reaction of NO2 with atomic oxygen for form NO and O2. The sum of both reactions show that the overall reaction is simply the reaction of ozone with atomic oxygen to form two molecules of molecular oxygen. Hence, NO only serves as a catalyst, it does not undergo a permanent change itself.

Name the separation technique which could be used to separate mud and water without heating

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Decantation

Explanation:

Decantation is a process to separate

mixtures by removing a liquid layer that

is free of a precipitate, or the solids

deposited from a solution. The purpose

may be to obtain a decant (liquid free

from particulates) or to recover the

precipitate.

Decantation relies on gravity to pull

precipitate out of the solution, so there is

always some loss of product, either from

the precipitate not fully falling out of the

solution or from liquid remaining when

separating it from the solid portion.

The Decanter

A piece of glassware called a decanter is

used to perform decantation. There are

several decanter designs. A simple

version is a wine decanter, which has a

wide body and a narrow neck. When

wine is poured, solids stay in the base of

the decanter.

In the case of wine, the solid is usually

potassium bitartrate crystals. For

chemistry separations, a decanter may

have a stopcock or valve to drain the

precipitate or dense liquid, or it may

have a partition to separate fractions.

Use of Alum and filtration process can also be administered for further purification

What are the traditional states of matter, and what type of property is a matter's state?

Nata [24]

The three traditional states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
A state of matter would be considered a physical property as it does not change the chemical composition of the substance and is reversible.
Ex) Freezing water will turn it to ice. The ice is still water and therefore, has not changed chemically. If we warm the ice, it turns to water. That reaction is then considered reversible.
Hope this helped :)
