The synthesis of ethylene dichloride is described by the following chemical equation: Suppose a two-step mechanism is proposed for this reaction, beginning with this elementary reaction: Suppose also that the second step of the mechanism should be bimolecular. Suggest a reasonable second step. That is, write the balanced chemical equation of a bimolecular elementary reaction that would complete the proposed mechanism.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

The balanced chemical equation of a bi molecular elementary reaction  that would complete the proposed mechanism is

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason the reaction above is is the reasonable second step is that it both involves carbonation and Cl⁻  species abd hence it is bi molecular in nature.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
