Hi!

The radical bromination reaction of C₆H₅CH₂CH₃ is performed through a mechanism in which radical reactions are involved. This compound is an alkylbenzene compound, and the carbon that is more reactive towards radical bromination is the carbon bonded to the aromatic ring because in the reaction mechanism the intermediaries are stabilized by resonance in the aromatic ring.

A terminal substitution will not occur because substitution there will not be stabilized by resonance. The compound that will be formed in this reaction would be:

C₆H₅CH₂CH₃ + Br₂ → C₆H₅CH₂(Br)CH₃ + HBr

Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in the following: 2H+(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2Fe2+(aq) → 2Fe3+(aq) + 2H2O(l)

schepotkina [342]

Answer : The oxidizing and reducing agents are, $H_2O_2$ and $Fe^{2+}$ .

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The given redox reaction is:

$2H^+(aq)+H_2O_2(aq)+2Fe^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : $Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+1e^-$

Reduction reaction : $O^-+1e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$

The oxidation state of oxygen in $H_2O_2$ and $H_2O$ is, (-1) and (-2) respectively.

In this reaction, 'Fe' is oxidized from oxidation (+2) to (+3) and 'O' is reduced from oxidation state (-1) to (-2). Hence, ' $Fe^{2+}$ ' act as a reducing agent and ' $H_2O_2$ ' act as a oxidizing agent.

Thus, the oxidizing and reducing agents are, $H_2O_2$ and $Fe^{2+}$ .

Marie mixed 5g of carbon with 5g of lead oxide. she heated the mixture strongly for 15 minutes in a fume cupboard.

olga2289 [7]

The problem talks about two questions and these are:

1. Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. Directing heat is easier. So let Marie heat the beads and also have heat another substance, for instance, water. If the beads heat quicker, then they are metals. Another test to conduct is called flame test. This test should give you a colored flame (blue/white for lead) the metal is lead if the reaction is: 2PbO+C ==> 2Pb +CO2

2. The beads are possibly to be lead since Ferrous(lead) oxide + carbon = carbon dioxide + lead

Adjacent water molecules interact through the ________. a. sharing of electrons between the hydrogen of one water molecule and t

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Due to the difference in electronegativity of hydrogen and oxygen, the electrons are pulled more towards oxygen atom.

As a result, a partial positive charge will develop on hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge will develop on oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that adjacent water molecules interact through the electrical attraction between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another water molecule.

Consider the reaction between nis2 and o2: 2nis2(s)+5o2(g)→2nio(s)+4so2(g) when 11.2 g of nis2 are allowed to react with 5.43 g

stellarik [79]

M(NiS₂) = 11.2 g.
n(NiS₂) = m(NiS₂) ÷ M(NiS₂).
n(NiS₂) = 11.2 g ÷ 122.8 g/mol.
n(NiS₂) = 0.091 mol.
m(O₂) = 5.43 g.
n(O₂) = 5.43 g ÷ 32 g/mol.
n(O₂) = 0.17 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(NiS₂) : n(O₂) = 2 : 5.
0.091 mol : n(O₂) = 2 : 5.
n(O₂) = 0.2275 mol, not enough.
n(NiO) = 4.89 g .
n(O₂) : n(NiS) = 5 : 2.
n(NiS) = 0.068 mol.
m(NiS) = 0.068 mol · 74.7 g/mol = 5.08 g.
percent yield = 4.89 g / 5.08 g · 100% = 96.2%.
