An unknown gas from a reaction is contained in a 2 litre beaker, at standard atmospheric pressure and a Temperature of 25 Celsius. Calculate the number of moles of the gas.

PV=nRT n=PV/RT=(1.01*1050.002)/(8.31298)=0.0816 moles

Can you describe four variables which affect the rate of a chemical reaction and how they affect the rate?

  1. Temperature: A higher temperature increases the rate of a reaction by increasing the number of particles with enough energy to take part in a reaction.
    2) Particle size: The smaller the particl...

In the presence of ultraviolet radiation, cyclohexane reacts with bromine. A mixture of cyclic products are formed, including C6H11Br. Discuss each step of this reaction providing equations to show the mechanism.

INITIATION: Br2 --> 2Br . The breaking of the Br2 bond from ultraviolet radiation forms two radicals, as one electron from the bond p...

State how you would test a solution for the presence of sulfate ions? Explain, using an ionic equation, what you would expect to observe in the presence of sulfate ions.

You would add barium chloride solution to the sample to be tested. Group II sulfate solubility decreases down the group - with barium sulfate being insoluble. We would expect to see a heavy white precipit...

give a possible reaction mechanism for the conversion of a haloalkane to alcohol

reaction conditions are reflux (ie with heat) with conc. sodium hydroxide. the mechanism is just a standard Sn1 or Sn2 (uni- or di- molecular nucleophilic substition) depending on the haloalkane used. bul...
