Answer:
21.86582KJ
Explanation:
The graphical form of the Arrhenius equation is shown on the image attached. Remember that in the Arrhenius equation, we plot the rate constant against the inverse of temperature. The slope of this graph is the activation energy and its y intercept is the frequency factor.
Applying the equation if a straight line, y=mx +c, and comparing the given equation with the graphical form of the Arrhenius equation shown in the image attached, we obtain the activation energy of the reaction as shown.
The structures of the isomers and the m/z values of their peaks are not given in the question. The complete question is provided in the attachment
Answer:
Compound 2 (2,5-dimethylhexane) will not have the peaks at 29 and 85 m/z
Explanation:
The fragmentation of molecules by electron ionization of mass spectrometer occurs according to Stevenson's Rule, which states that "The most probable fragmentation is the one that leaves the positive charge on the fragment with the lowest ionization energy". This is much like the Markovnikov's Rule in organic chemistry which has predicted the formation of most stable carbocation and the addition of hydrogen halide to it.
The mass spectra of compound 1 (2,4-dimethylhexane) will contain all the m/z values mentioned in the question. Each peak indicate towards homologous series of fragmentation product of the compound 1. The first peak can be attributed to ethyl carbocation (m/z = 29), with the increase of 14 units the next peak indicates towards propyl carbocation (m/z = 43) and onwards until molecular ion peak of 114 m/z.
Compound 2 (2,5-dimethylhexane) structure shows that the cleavage of C-C bond will not yield a stable ethyl and hexyl carbocation. Hence, no peaks will be observed at 29 and 85 m/z. The absence of these two peaks can be used to distinguish one isomer from the other.
Answer : The correct option is, (A) because one of each is produced every time an
transfers from one water molecule to another.
Explanation :
As we know that, when the two water molecule combine to produced hydronium ion and hydroxide ion.
The balanced reaction will be:
Acid : It is a substance that donates hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.
Base : It is a substance that accepts hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.
From this we conclude that, the hydrogen ion are transferred from one water molecule to the another water molecule to form hydronium ion and hydroxide ion. In this reaction, one water molecule will act as a base and another water molecule will act as an acid.
Hence, the correct option is, (A)
