Why does the excess of base used in these eliminations favor the E2 over the E1 mechanism for elimination

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The base is involved in the rate determining step of an E2 reaction mechanism

Explanation:

Let us get back to the basics. Looking at an E1 reaction, the rate determining step is unimolecular, that is;

Rate = k [Carbocation] since the rate determining step is the formation of a carbonation.

For an E2 reaction however, the reaction is bimolecular hence for the rate determining step we can write;

Rate = k[alkyl halide] [base]

The implication of this is that an excess of either the alkyl halide or base will facilitate an E2 reaction.

Hence, when excess base is used, E2 reaction is favoured since the base is involved in its rate determining step. In an E1 reaction, the base is not involved in the rate determining step hence an excess of the base has no effect on an E1 reaction.

Calcium carbide, CaC2, reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide and the flammable gas ethyne (acetylene) in the reaction: What mass of ethyne can be produced

Answers

Answer:

1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂ or 64.1g of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this question, we'll require a balanced chemical equation of reaction between calcium carbide and water.

Equation of reaction

CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Molar mass of calcium carbide (CaC₂) = 64.1g/mol

Molar mass of water (H₂O) = 18g/mol

Molar mass of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) = 74g/mol

Molar mass of ethyne (C₂H₂) = 26g/mol

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 1 mole of C₂H₂

1 mole of CaC₂ = mass / molar mass

Mass = 1 × 64.1

Mass = 64.1g

1 mole of C₂H₂ = mass / molar mass

Mass = 1 × 26

Mass = 26g

Therefore, 1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂

Note: this is a hypothetical calculation since we were not given the initial mass of CaC₂ that starts the reaction

Erbium metal (Er) can be prepared by reacting erbium(III) fluoride with magnesium; the other product is magnesium fluoride. Write and balance the equation.

Answers

Answer:

2ErF3 + 3Mg → 2Er + 3MgF2

Explanation:

Erbium metal is a member of the lanthaniod series. It reacts with halogens directly to yield erbium III halides such as erbium III chloride, Erbium III fluoride etc.

Erbium metal (Er) can be prepared by reacting erbium(III) fluoride with magnesium; the products are erbium metal and magnesium fluoride. This is a normal redox process in which the Erbium metal is reduced while the magnesium is oxidized. The balanced reaction equation of this process is; 2ErF3 + 3Mg → 2Er + 3MgF2

If you combine 24.2 g of a solute that has a molar mass of 24.2 g/mol with 100.0 g of a solvent, what is the molality of the resulting solution

Answers

Answer: 10 moles/kg.

Explanation:

Given, Mass of solute = 24.2 g

Molar mass of solute = 24.2 g/mol

[tex]\text{Moles of solute =}\dfrac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}}\\\\=\dfrac{24.2}{24.2}=1[/tex]

Mass of solvent = 100.0g = 0.1 kg  [1 g=0.001 kg]

[tex]\text{Molality}=\dfrac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{kilograms of Solvent}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{0.1}\\\\=10\ moles/kg[/tex]

Hence, the molality of the resulting solution is 10 moles/kg.

Determine the radius of an Al atom (in pm) if the density of aluminum is 2.71 g/cm3 . Aluminum crystallizes in a face centered cubic structure with an edge leng

Answers

Answer:

143pm is the radius of an Al atom

Explanation:

In a face centered cubic structure, FCC, there are 4 atoms per unit cell.

First, you need to obtain the mass of an unit cell using molar mass of Aluminium  and thus, obtain edge length and knowing Edge = √8R you can find the radius, R, of an Al atom.

Mass of an unit cell

As 1 mole of Al weighs 26.98g. 4 atoms of Al weigh:

4 atoms × (1mole / 6.022x10²³atoms) × (26.98g / mole) = 1.792x10⁻²²g

Edge length

As density of aluminium is 2.71g/cm³, the volume of an unit cell is:

1.792x10⁻²²g × (1cm³ / 2.71g) = 6.613x10⁻²³cm³

And the length of an edge of the cell is:

∛6.613x10⁻²³cm³ = 4.044x10⁻⁸cm = 4.044x10⁻¹⁰m

Radius:

As in FCC structure, Edge = √8 R, radius of an atom of Al is:

4.044x10⁻¹⁰m = √8 R

1.430x10⁻¹⁰m = R.

In pm:

1.430x10⁻¹⁰m ₓ (1x10¹²pm / 1m) =

143pm is the radius of an Al atom

The radius of the atom of Al in the FCC structure has been 143 pm.

The FCC lattice has been contributed with atoms at the edge of the cubic structure.

The FCC has consisted of 4 atoms in a lattice.

The mass of the unit cell of Al can be calculated as:

[tex]\rm 6.023\;\times\;10^2^3[/tex] atoms = 1 mole

4 atoms = [tex]\rm \dfrac{4}{6.023\;\times\;10^2^3}[/tex] moles

The mass of 1 mole Al has been 26.98 g/mol.

The mass of [tex]\rm \dfrac{4}{6.023\;\times\;10^2^3}[/tex] moles = [tex]\rm \dfrac{4}{6.023\;\times\;10^2^3}[/tex] moles × 26.98 g

The mass of 1 unit cell of Al has been = 1.792 [tex]\rm \bold{\times\;10^-^2^2}[/tex] g.

The volume of the Al cell can be calculated as:

Density = [tex]\rm \dfrac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Volume = Density × Mass

The volume of Al unit cell = 2.71 g/[tex]\rm cm^3[/tex] × 1.792 [tex]\rm \times\;10^-^2^2[/tex] g

The volume of Al cell = 6.613 [tex]\rm \times\;10^-^2^3[/tex] [tex]\rm cm^3[/tex]

The volume of the cube has been given as:

Volume = [tex]\rm edge\;length^3[/tex]

6.613 [tex]\rm \times\;10^-^2^3[/tex] [tex]\rm cm^3[/tex] = [tex]\rm edge\;length^3[/tex]

Edge length = [tex]\rm \sqrt[3]{6.613\;\times\;10^-^2^3}[/tex] cm

Edge length = 4.044 [tex]\rm \times\;10^-^8[/tex] cm

Edge length = 4.044 [tex]\rm \bold{\times\;10^-^1^0}[/tex] m.

In an FCC lattice structure, the radius of the atom can be given by:

Edge length = [tex]\rm \sqrt{8\;\times\;radius}[/tex]

4.044 [tex]\rm \bold{\times\;10^-^1^0}[/tex] m = [tex]\rm \sqrt{8\;\times\;radius}[/tex]

Radius = 1.430 [tex]\rm \bold{\times\;10^-^1^0}[/tex] m.

1 m = [tex]\rm 10^1^2[/tex] pm

1.430 [tex]\rm \bold{\times\;10^-^1^0}[/tex] m = 143 pm.

The radius of the atom of Al in the FCC structure has been 143 pm.

In other words, do the bond angles change when you switch between Real and Model mode at the top of the page? Same (angles do not change) Different (angles change) Answer Bank | H2O | CO2, SO2, XeF2, BF3 CIF3, NH3, CH4, SF4, XeF4, BrF5, PCI5,SF6

Answer:

Compounds whose real bond angle are the same as ideal bond angle;

SF6, BF3, CH4, PCI5

Compounds whose real bond angles differ from ideal bond angles;

H2O, CO2, SO2, XeF2, CIF3, NH3, SF4, XeF4, BrF5

Explanation:

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR), molecules adopt various shapes based on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule. The electron pairs usually orient themselves as far apart in space as possible leading to various observed bond angles.

The extent of repulsion of lone pairs is greater than that of bond pairs. Hence, the presence of lone pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule distorts the bond angles of molecules away from the ideal bond angles predicted on the basis of valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.

For instance, methane is a perfect tetrahedron having an ideal bond angle of 109°28'. Both methane and ammonia are based on a tetrahedron, however, the presence of a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen distorts the bond angle of ammonia to about 107°. The distortion of lone pairs in water is even more as the bond angles of water is about 104°.

Given the information below, which is more favorable energetically, the oxidation of succinate to fumarate by NAD+ or by FAD? Fumarate + 2H+ + 2e- → Succinate E°´ = 0.031 V NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e- → NADH + H+ E°´ = -0.320 FAD + 2H+ + 2e- → FADH2 E°´ = -0.219

Answers

Answer:

Oxidation by FAD  

Explanation:

1. Oxidation by NAD⁺

Succinate ⇌ Fumarate + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻;                  E°´ =  -0.031 V  

NAD⁺ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇌ NADH + H⁺;                      E°´ = -0.320 V

Succinate + NAD⁺ ⇌ Fumarate  + NADH + H⁺; E°' =  -0.351 V

2. Oxidation by FAD

Succinate ⇌ Fumarate + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻;        E°´ = -0.031 V  

FAD + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇌ FADH₂;                    E°´  = -0.219 V

Succinate + FADH₂ ⇌ Fumarate + FAD; E°' = -0.250 V

Neither reaction is energetically favourable, but FAD has a more positive half-cell potential.

FAD is the stronger oxidizing agent.

The oxidation by FAD has a more positive cell potential, so it is more favourable energetically.

What are Groups in the Periodic Table?

The periodic table is organized into groups (vertical columns), periods (horizontal rows), and families (groups of elements that are similar). Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.

Groups are the columns of the periodic table, and periods are the rows. There are 18 groups, and there are 7 periods plus the lanthanides and actinides.

There are two different numbering systems that are commonly used to designate groups, and you should be familiar with both.

The traditional system used in the United States involves the use of the letters A and B. The first two groups are 1A and 2A, while the last six groups are 3A through 8A. The middle groups use B in their titles.

Therefore, The number of valence electrons are in the electron dot structures for the elements in group 3A(13) is three.
