Answer:

2.00

Explanation:

From Graham's law; the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the relative molecular mass.

Let the rate of effusion of Helium be R1

Let the rate of effusion of Methane be R2

Let the molecular mass of Helium be M1

Let the molecular mass of Methane be M2

Hence;

R1/R2 = √M2/M1

R1/R2 = √16.0294/4.0026

R1/R2 = 2.00

For the equation to balance out, you would need 2 H2O on the product. That will give a total of 1 Carbon, 4 Hydrogens and 4 Oxygens on each side.

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The Gilman reagent is a lithium and copper (diorganocopper) reagent with a general formula R2CuLi. R is an alkyl or aryl group.

They are useful in the synthesis of alkanes because they react with organic halides to replace the halide group with an R group.

In this particular instance, we intend to synthesize propylcyclohexane. The structure of the lithium diorganocopper (Gilman) reagent required is shown in the image attached to this answer.
