Answer:

Explanation:

There is a fundamental length, the Planck length. It is the length that light (a photon) travels in a unit of time called the Planck time and conforms to the way to measure length in general, as given by the equation

L = ct

Where L is length (or distance), c the speed of light (3 X 10^8 meters/sec), and t the time the light travels in. The Planck length is exceedingly small (magnitude 10^-35 meters because the Planck time is short (10^-44 sec)

The Planck length, or any length based on the speed of light, is not subject to the imprecision we would find by measurement with a physical ruler, for example, because a ruler can expand or shrink or be bent or warped, etc.

Rather, length based on c (in a vacuum) is constant. This concept is another gift from Einstein’s theory of special relativity. It’s also the central concept in spacetime, though it would take some explaining for me to say why it is so.

The following balanced equation shows the decomposition of ammonia (NH3) into nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2). 2NH3 → N2 + 3H2 A

Triss [41]

The decomposition of ammonia is characterized by the following decomposition equation:
2NH₃ → N₂ + 3H₂

The mole ratio of N₂ : H₂ is 1 : 3

If the number of moles of N₂ = 0.0351 mol
Then the number of moles of H₂ = 0.0351 mol × 3
= 0.1053 mol

The number of moles of hydrogen gas produced when 0.0351 mol of Nitrogen gas is produced after the decomposition of Ammonia is 0.105 mol (OPTION 3).

Please help me with this basic organic conversion. use the shortest way to do it

jonny [76]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

This conversion must go through a sequence of steps as i have shown in the image attached to this answer.

The acetone is converted to propan-2-ol using LiAlH4, THF and acid. The propan-2-ol may be converted to propene by E2 elimination. Addition of HBr yields 2-bromo propane.

The Wurtz reaction converts 2-bromo propane to 2,3- dimethyl butane. This can be brominated in the presence of light to yield 3-bromo-2,3-dimethyl butane. Elimination of HBr using a base leads to the formation of the required product as shown.

Explain why different liquids boil at the different temperatures

Gennadij [26K]

The boiling point of the fluid depends on the intermolecular forces between the fluid atoms and molécules, as these forces must be disrupted to switch from a fluid to a gas. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the greater the point of boiling.
