Firstly, we need to write a balanced equation for the oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ . We know that when something is oxidised, it is losing electrons, making the half equation: Fe^2+...

3-bromo 3 methyl pentane will be the major product while 1 bromo 3 methyl pentane will be the minor. This is due to a more stable carbocation being formed. A secondary carbocation is more stable than a pr...

Between the carbon layers in graphite there are van der waal forces which are very weak. Therefore, the layers of carbon atoms are able to slide over each other allowing graphite to be used as a lubricant...
