(a)
Interpretation:
Movement of electrons should be indicated using curved arrows for the given reaction.
Concept introduction:
Mechanism of the reaction is the step-by-step description of the process by which reactants are changed into products.
Curved arrows show the bonds that are formed and the bonds that are broken in a reaction.
Curved arrows used to understand a reaction mechanism.
Curved arrows are drawn to show how the electrons move as new covalent bonds are formed existing covalent bonds are broken.
Each arrow represents the simultaneous movement of two electrons from a nucleophile towards an electrophile.
The tail of the arrow is positioned where the electrons are in the reactant; the tail always starts at a lone pair of electron or at a bond.
The head of the arrow points to where these same electrons end up in the product; the arrow always points at an atom or a bond.

- 3. An unknown element, X, combines with chlorine to give a substance with the formula XC14. A chlorine analysis of the substance indicates that it contains 83.47% chlorine by mass. What element is X and what is the formula of this compound? (Hint: to identify an element or compound, identify its molar mass. Remember that Molar Mass = (grams A)/(moles A). Solve for each individually and then divide them to find molar mass.)arrow_forward1. When hydrogen sulfide (H2S, MM = 34.08 g/mol) gas is bubbled into a solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH, 40.00 g/mol), sodium sulfide (Na2S, 78.04 g/mol) and water (18.02 g/mol) are produced according to the balanced chemical equation shown below? H2S 2 NaOH --> Na2S 2 H₂O (a) Assuming the reaction goes to completion, how many grams of sodium sulfide are formed if 2.50g of hydrogen sulfide is bubbled into a solution containing 1.85g of NaOH? (20 pts) (b) Which reactant and how much of it remains after the reaction has been completed? (15 pts) (c) If only 0.400g of sodium sulfide was recovered, what is the percent yield of this reaction (5 pts)arrow_forwardThe organic compound MTBE (methyltertiarybutylether) is used as a fuel additive that allows gasoline to burn more cleanly thus leading to a reduction in pollution. Recently, however, MTBE has been found in the drinking water of a number of communities. As a result several states are phasing out the use of MTBE as a fuel additive. A combustion experiment using 10.00 g of MTBE was found to produce 24.97g of CO2 and 12.26 g of H2O. (a) What is the empirical formula of MTBE assuming it contains C, H, and O only? (b) The molar mass of MTBE was experimentally determined to be 88.1 g/mol. Using this information what is the molecular formula of MTBEarrow_forward
