b. What is the purpose of the Na2SO4?
c. What equipment would you use to “concentrate [a solution] under reduced pressure”?
When N,N-dimethylaniline is treated with bromine both the ortho and para products
are observed. However when treated with a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid only
the meta product is observed. Explain these results and support your answer with the

The mechanism of the NH3 decomposition reaction must necessarily involve the collision of two NH3 molecules to induce a rearrangement of the atoms in this molecule.(B). The molecular weight of the NH3 decomposition reaction is 2 since two NH3 molecules must collide.(C). The rate of the NH3 decomposition reaction must be greater than that of NH3 synthesis, since the former requires two molecules to collide and the latter, four.(D). The NH3 decomposition reaction cannot occur in a single step.arrow_forward
