Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In order to explain this, is neccesary to draw both confomers, the cis and trans, but in the chair conformation, because in that way we can see much better the bonds and the reason of why the cis reacts faster than trans.
As you can see in picture attached, the more stable conformer is the one where the H and Br are in the axial position, and the tert butyl group in equatorial position. In these positions, the cis isomer can undergo an E2 reaction, and the ethoxide would have no problem to substract the hydrogen atom from the molecule to eliminate the Bromide. This is because the t-butyl group in equatorial position, is not exerting steric hindrance, therefore is faster.
In the case of the trans, the t-butyl group is in the axial position as well as the hydrogen and bromide, therefore, when the E2 reaction undergoes, the hydrogen is substracted by ethoxide, but it will be slow because the t.butyl group exerts steric hindrance in the axial positions, therefore, the hydrogen will be substracted slower than in the cis position. This is the main reason for the cis to be faster.
As for the second part of the question, which will be the answer of the whole question, see picture attached 2 for the whole sentence, and the match of the words is the following:
1. Axial
2. More
3. Blank (No word there)
4. less
5. Blank
6. Cis
7. Trans
8. Cis
What is the pH of a 1.4 M pyridine solution that has Kb = 1.7 × 10-9? The equation for the dissociation of pyridine is C5H5N(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ C5H5NH+(aq) + OH-(aq). What is the pH of a 1.4 M pyridine solution that has Kb = 1.7 × 10-9? The equation for the dissociation of pyridine is C5H5N(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ C5H5NH+(aq) + OH-(aq). 4.31 9.69 8.72 10.69
Answer:
pH = 9.69
Explanation:
When pyridine (C₅H₅N) is added to water, the equilibrium that occurs is:
C₅H₅N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ C₅H₅NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) Kb = 1.7x10⁻⁹
Where Kb is defined as:
Kb = 1.7x10⁻⁹ = [C₅H₅NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N]
If you have a solution of 1.4M C₅H₅N, the equilibrium concentration of each specie is:
[C₅H₅N] = 1.4 - X
[C₅H₅NH⁺] = X
[OH⁻] = X
Where X represents the reaction coordinate
Replacing in Kb expression:
1.7x10⁻⁹ = [X] [X] / [1.4 - X]
2.38x10⁻⁹ - 1.7x10⁻⁹X = X²
0 = X² + 1.7x10⁻⁹X - 2.38x10⁻⁹
Solving for X:
X = -0.0000488M → False answer, there is no negative concentrations
X = 0.0000488M → Right answer
Thus, [OH⁻] = 0.0000488M. As pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = 4.31
Knowing pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 9.69
The pH of a 1.4 M pyridine solution is 9.69. When pyridine (C₅H₅N) is added to water, the equilibrium occurs. The rate of forward reaction is equals to the rate of backward reaction.
Equilibrium for pyridine:When pyridine (C₅H₅N) is added to water, the equilibrium that occurs is:
C₅H₅N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ C₅H₅NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) Kb = 1.7x10⁻⁹
Where Kb is defined as:
Kb = 1.7x10⁻⁹
Kb= [C₅H₅NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N]
If you have a solution of 1.4M C₅H₅N, the equilibrium concentration of each specie is:
[C₅H₅N] = 1.4 - x
[C₅H₅NH⁺] = x
[OH⁻] = x
Where x represents the reaction coordinate
Replacing in Kb expression:
1.7*10⁻⁹ = [x] [x] / [1.4 -x]
2.38*10⁻⁹ - 1.7x10⁻⁹x = x²
0 = x² + 1.7*10⁻⁹x - 2.38*10⁻⁹
Solving for x:
x = 0.0000488M
Thus, [OH⁻] = 0.0000488M.
As pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = 4.31
Knowing pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 9.69

Explanation:
If an insufficient amount of liquid unknown had been used, how would this have effected the value of the experimental molar mass
Answer:
Actual yield reduces the more.
Explanation:
An actual yield of the course of a chemical reaction is the mass of a product actually obtained from the reaction.
In practice you see it and It is usually less than the theoretical yield.
Various reasons may come up to explain this away but here is one:
• incomplete reactions, simply put here some of the reactants do not react to form the product.
The same applies in the question about the actual yield will reduce significantly in molar mass now that insufficient amount of reagent are used.

A chemist wants to increase the solubility of a solid in water. Which of the
following will NOT help? *
-increase the temperature
-decrease the particle size
-Increase stirring
-increase pressure
Answer:
- Increase pressure .
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, during the dissolution process, the solute's molecules rearrange in order to get together with the solvent's molecules, in this case water.
Now, since we are talking about a solid whose particles are intimately held together, the only way to separate them is by increasing the temperature because the molecules start moving so they can join water's molecules, decreasing particle size since they will be more likely to separate to each other and increasing stirring since the applied energy will break the solid's intramolecular forces.
In such a way, since pressure significantly affects gases and slightly affects liquid, it is not able to modify a solid, just extreme pressures such as it needed to produce diamonds, is able to affect a solid. For that reason, increasing the pressure will not increase the solid's solubility.

Prepare a flow diagram for extraction of 2-chlorobenzoic acid and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
To do aflow diagram for extraction of these two components of a sample, we need to analize both reagents so we can make a great diagram and separate both reagents.
First, let's see the acid. The 2-chlorobenzoic acid is a relativel strong acid, so, in order to separate this from a sample we need to use a base to do so. However, it's very important the use of the base here, we cannot use any base to do it, for the main reason that the sample has other component, and this component may react too with the base and the separation will not be succesfull. So, as the chlorobenzoic acid is a relatively strong acid, if we use a strong base such as NaOH, this will react with the acid, but it will also react with the 1,4-dichlorobenzene forming a Sn2 product and a salt like this.
C₆H₄Cl₂ + NaOH ---------> C₆H₅OCl + NaCl
This is the reason which we cannot use NaOH, because it's a strong base that may react with other compounds in the sample.
To solve this, we can use a weak base such as NaHCO₃. This weak base has the strength enough to react with the benzoic acid, but not strong enough to react with the dichlorobenzene.
So, the first step is dissolve the sample in an organic solvent like ether. The next step is mixing the sample with NaHCO₃. This will cause the layer to divide into two layers. One aqueous layer that will have the product of the acid with the base, and an organic layer with the dichlobenzene. Afterward, we just need to use a strong acid like HCl, but dilluted in the aqueous layer to regenerate the acid, and in the organic layer, just heat the solution til the whole solvent evaporates completely.
The flow diagram is below in the attached picture.

B.
hotter than both the crust and the core.
C.
cooler than both the crust and the core.
D.
cooler than the crust but hotter than the core.
Answer:
C. cooler than both the crust and the core
Explanation:
It is observed that at the mantle, temperatures range from estimatedly 200 °C (392 °F) around the upper boundary with the crust to approximately 4,000 °C (7,230 °F) at the core-mantle boundary.
So we can say the mantle is cooler than both the crust and the core.
Considering the limiting reactant, what is the mass of zinc sulfide produced from 0.250 g of zinc and 0.750 g of sulfur? Zn(s)+S(S) ZnS(s)
Answer:
The mass of zinc sulfide produced is [tex]M_{ZnS} = 0.76 \ g[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of zinc is [tex]m_z = 0.750 \ g[/tex]
The mass of sulfur is [tex]m_s = 0.250 \ g[/tex]
The molar mass of [tex]Zn_{(s)}[/tex] is a constant with value 65.39 g /mol
The molar mass of [tex]S_{(s)}[/tex] is a constant with value 32.01 g/mol
The molar mass of [tex]ZnS_{(s)}[/tex] is a constant with value 97.46 g/mol
The reaction is
[tex]Zn_{(s)} + S_{(s)} ------> ZnS_{(s)}[/tex]
So from the reaction
1 mole of [tex]Zn_{(s)}[/tex] react with 1 mole of [tex]S_{(s)}[/tex] to produce 1 mole of [tex]ZnS_{(s)}[/tex]
This implies that
65.39 g /mol of [tex]Zn_{(s)}[/tex] react with 32.01 g/mol of [tex]S_{(s)}[/tex] to produce 97.46 g/mol of [tex]ZnS_{(s)}[/tex]
From the values given we can deduce that the limiting reactant is sulfur cause of the smaller mass
So
0.250 g of [tex]Zn_{(s)}[/tex] react with 0.250 of [tex]S_{(s)}[/tex] to produce [tex]x \ g[/tex] of [tex]ZnS_{(s)}[/tex]
So
[tex]x = \frac{97.46 * 0.250}{32.01}[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.76 \ g[/tex]
Thus the mass of the mass of zinc sulfide produced is
[tex]M_{ZnS} = 0.76 \ g[/tex]

A 99.8 mL sample of a solution that is 12.0% KI by mass (d: 1.093 g/mL) is added to 96.7 mL of another solution that is 14.0% Pb(NO3)2 by mass (d: 1.134 g/mL). How many grams of PbI2 should form?
Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 KI(aq) PbI2(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)
Answer:
[tex]m_{PbI_2}=18.2gPbI_2[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we write the reaction again:
[tex]Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2 KI(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s) + 2 KNO_3(aq)[/tex]
In such a way, the first thing we do is to compute the reacting moles of lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide, by using the concentration, volumes, densities and molar masses, 331.2 g/mol and 166.0 g/mol respectively:
[tex]n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=\frac{0.14gPb(NO_3)_2}{1g\ sln}*\frac{1molPb(NO_3)_2}{331.2gPb(NO_3)_2} *\frac{1.134g\ sln}{1mL\ sln} *96.7mL\ sln\\\\n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=0.04635molPb(NO_3)_2\\\\n_{KI}=\frac{0.12gKI}{1g\ sln}*\frac{1molKI}{166.0gKI} *\frac{1.093g\ sln}{1mL\ sln} *99.8mL\ sln\\\\n_{KI}=0.07885molKI[/tex]
Next, as lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide are in a 1:2 molar ratio, 0.04635 mol of lead (II) nitrate will completely react with the following moles of potassium nitrate:
[tex]0.04635molPb(NO_3)_2*\frac{2molKI}{1molPb(NO_3)_2} =0.0927molKI[/tex]
But we only have 0.07885 moles, for that reason KI is the limiting reactant, so we compute the yielded grams of lead (II) iodide, whose molar mass is 461.01 g/mol, by using their 2:1 molar ratio:
[tex]m_{PbI_2}=0.07885molKI*\frac{1molPbI_2}{2molKI} *\frac{461.01gPbI_2}{1molPbI_2} \\\\m_{PbI_2}=18.2gPbI_2[/tex]
Best regards.
Answer:
Mass PbI2 = 18.19 grams
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume solution = 99.8 mL = 0.0998 L
mass % KI = 12.0 %
Density = 1.093 g/mL
Volume of the other solution = 96.7 mL = 0.967 L
mass % of Pb(NO3)2 = 14.0 %
Density = 1.134 g/mL
Step 2: The balanced equation
Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 KI(aq) ⇆ PbI2(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)
Step 3: Calculate mass
Mass = density * volume
Mass KI solution = 1.093 g/mL * 99.8 mL
Mass KI solution = 109.08 grams
Mass KI solution = 109.08 grams *0.12 = 13.09 grams
Mass of Pb(NO3)2 solution = 1.134 g/mL * 96.7 mL
Mass of Pb(NO3)2 solution = 109.66 grams
Mass of Pb(NO3)2 solution = 109.66 grams * 0.14 = 15.35 grams
Step 4: Calculate moles
Moles = mass / molar mass
Moles KI = 13.09 grams / 166.0 g/mol
Moles KI = 0.0789 moles
Moles Pb(NO3)2 = 15.35 grams / 331.2 g/mol
Moles Pb(NO3)2 = 0.0463 moles
Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant
For 1 mol Pb(NO3)2 we need 2 moles KI to produce 1 mol PbI2 and 2 moles KNO3
Ki is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.0789 moles). Pb(NO3)2 is in excess. There will react 0.0789/2 = 0.03945 moles. There will remain 0.0463 - 0.03945 = 0.00685 moles
Step 6: Calculate moles PbI2
For 1 mol Pb(NO3)2 we need 2 moles KI to produce 1 mol PbI2 and 2 moles KNO3
For 0.0789 moles KI we'll have 0.0789/2 = 0.03945 moles PbI2
Step 7: Calculate mass of PbI2
Mass PbI2 = moles PbI2 * molar mass PbI2
Mass PbI2 = 0.03945 moles * 461.01 g/mol
Mass PbI2 = 18.19 grams

The missing blanks represent H2O, H+, or OH-, as required to balance the reaction. Enter the coefficients as integers, using the lowest whole numbers. If the coefficient for something is "1", make sure to type that in and not leave it blank. Enter only the coefficients.
Explanation:
MnO4−+ SO32− → Mn2++ SO42−
Splitting into half equations;
MnO4− → Mn2+
SO32− → SO42−
Balancing the electrons;
2 MnO4− + 10 e- → 2Mn2+
5SO32− → 5SO42− + 10 e-
In an acidic medium, it becomes;
2 MnO4− + 8 H+ → 2 Mn2+ + 4 H2O
5 SO32− + H2O → 5 SO42− + 2 H+
Final equation is;
2 MnO4- + 5 SO32- + 6 H+ → 2 (Mn)2+ + 5 SO42- + 3 H2O
Coefficient of H+ = 6
Coefficient of H2O = 3
Coefficient of MnO4- = 2
Coefficient of SO32- = 5
Coefficient of (Mn)2+- = 2
Coefficient of SO42- = 5
Answer:
[tex]5SO_3^{2-}+2MnO_4^{-}+6H^+ \rightarrow 5SO_4^{2-}+ 2Mn^{2+}+3H_2O[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the reaction:
[tex]MnO_4^{-}+ SO_3^{2-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}+ SO_4^{2-}[/tex]
We first identify the oxidation state of both manganese and sulfur at each side:
[tex]Mn^{7+}O_4^{-}+ S^{4+}O_3^{2-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}+ S^{6+}O_4^{2-}[/tex]
So we have the oxidation and reduction half-reactions below, including the addition of water and hydronium as it is in acidic media:
[tex]S^{4+}O_3^{2-}+H_2O \rightarrow S^{6+}O_4^{2-}+2H^++2e^-[/tex]
[tex]Mn^{7+}O_4^{-}+8H^++5e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O[/tex]
Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:
[tex]5*(S^{4+}O_3^{2-}+H_2O \rightarrow S^{6+}O_4^{2-}+2H^++2e^-)\\2*(Mn^{7+}O_4^{-}+8H^++5e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O)\\\\5S^{4+}O_3^{2-}+5H_2O \rightarrow 5S^{6+}O_4^{2-}+10H^++10e^-\\2Mn^{7+}O_4^{-}+16H^++10e^- \rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O[/tex]
Then we add the resulting half-reactions and simplify the transferred electrons:
[tex]5S^{4+}O_3^{2-}+5H_2O+2Mn^{7+}O_4^{-}+16H^+ \rightarrow 5S^{6+}O_4^{2-}+10H^++ 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O[/tex]
We rearrange the terms in order to simplify water and hydronium molecules:
[tex]5S^{4+}O_3^{2-}+2Mn^{7+}O_4^{-}+16H^+-10H^+ \rightarrow 5S^{6+}O_4^{2-}+ 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O-5H_2O\\\\5S^{4+}O_3^{2-}+2Mn^{7+}O_4^{-}+6H^+ \rightarrow 5S^{6+}O_4^{2-}+ 2Mn^{2+}+3H_2O[/tex]
Finally we write the balanced reaction in acidic media:
[tex]5SO_3^{2-}+2MnO_4^{-}+6H^+ \rightarrow 5SO_4^{2-}+ 2Mn^{2+}+3H_2O[/tex]
Best regards.

Porosities can have merits and demerits during manufacturing procedures of dental materials. Clarify this statement.
Answer:
The porosities in dental materials can be of merit and not merit since some dental materials need to be porous in order to reduce their weight and improve their properties and functions, whereas in those (which are the majority) porosities are not Merit, see the properties of the material, the function and can even influence dental rehabilitation.
An example of this is the use of vitreous ionomers, which is a dental material, where when it is spatulated it remains porous, it can give recurrence of infectious caries, since its permeability increases, the best cariogenic microorganisms are filtered and porosity works as a retentive site for these microorganisms that make up the dental biofilm.
In summary, the world of dental materials is very wide, some are resins, other cements, others have metallic claims, etc. To say that the presence of porosity is merit or demerit would be ideal because for some materials this is favorable and for others unfavorable since they are very versatile, with different qualities, different degrees of porosity, different molecules, different coefficients of thermal expansion, some do not set, others do not, some are light-cured, others do not, some withstand more mechanical forces and have more elastic modulus and less porosity, while others do not, and thus with many more variables.
Explanation:
In the manufacture of dental materials, much attention is always paid to what the manufacturer indicates in these indications that come on the reverse side of the material or on a paper inside the material container.
This is important to know, because the manufacturer is the one that indicates the mode of use and working time according to the trademark and the chemical composition of the dental material.
That a dental material in its manufacture is more or less porous, makes its density, weight and volume possibly be affected, there are materials that seek to increase porosity for a certain purpose, while others seek the opposite, depending on the function that is applied, will have more or less pores.
The example we gave above about the vitreous ionomer is an example that indicates that in the case of restorative dental materials where the function is to SEAL the porosity is almost nil, since otherwise it will not seal the cavity that was formed with caries and not the infectious problem would be solved.
On the other hand, in the surgical field of dentistry there are bone grafts or porous macroparticles that are for the purpose of bone replacement, which in order to be integrated need blood vessels that run over these pores, irrigating the area of bone neoformation well, in this case the merit of porosity if necessary and it is essential that they be very porous.
