Answer:

$NaBF_4$

Explanation:

In this reaction, we must exchange the amino group ( $NH_2$ ) for a fluorine atom ( $F$ ). Also, the first step in this reaction is the addition of nitrous acid.

We must remember that the amino group in the presence of nitrous acid produces a diazonium salt. The $N_2$ group is a very good leaving group and many benzene derivatives can be produced from this intermediate (see figure 1).

If what we want is to bond a fluorine atom we must use $NaBF_4$ to be able to produce m-ethylfluorobenzene (see figure 2).

I hope it helps!

Consider the elements in Group 14. Which element has the highest electron affinity? A) Carbon B) Germanium C) Lead D) Silicon

svlad2 [7]

Electron affinity is a measure of the tendency of a neutral atom to gain electrons and form a negative ion. It can be represented by a general equation:

X + e- → X-

The value of electron affinity decreases on moving down a group. This is because on moving down a group the atomic size increases as a result the added electron feels less pull or attraction towards the nucleus.

In group 14, Carbon 'C' is the first member and therefore will have the highest electron affinity.

Ans : A) Carbon

Select the correct answer. A student places a sample of white sodium bicarbonate powder in a test tube and heats it. The student

inessss [21]

Answer is: D. It is not sodium bicarbonate.

Balanced chemical reaction of heating sodium bicarbonate: 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O.

This is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substances are formed (sodium carbonate, carbon(IV) oxide and water), the atoms are rearranged, so there is no sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) in the test tube.

describe the energy inputs and outputs for the campfire. Use the law of conservation of energy to construct a valid qualitative

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The essence including its particular subject is outlined in the following portion mostly on clarification.

Explanation:

The energy throughout the campfire comes from either the wood's latent chemical energy until it has been burned to steam up and launch up across the campfire. The electricity generation for something like a campfire seems to be in the context including its potential chemical energy which is contained throughout the firewood used only to inflame the situation.
The energy output seems to be in the different types of heat energy radiating across the campfire, laser light generated off by the blaze, and perhaps a little number of electrical waves, registered throughout the firewood cracking whilst they combust throughout the blaze.

and,

chemical energy ⇒ heat energy + light energy + sound energy
