Explanation:
Alkanes are relative stable molecules: saturated chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, where each carbon atom is hydridized sp³ and is bonded to one or two carbon atoms and 2 or 3 hydrogen atoms.
The C-H bonds are slightly polar (carbon is more electronegative than oxygen).
On the other hand, the diatomic halogen molecule (F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, or I₂) is a non-polar molecule.
The mechanism of reaction between the alkane and the halogen is via free radicals: the halogen molecule must be splitted into two radicals (two atoms each with a free electron). This implies the rupture of the diatomic halogen, and this requires an important amount of energy. The role of the UV ligth is to provide the energy to split the halogen molecule and, in this way, start the reaction.
Then, the free halogen radical may react with the alkane molecule breaking a C - H bond and substituting the leaving hydrogen atom, forming a C - X bond (X represents the halogen atom).
As a demonstration of this role, you may find in the specialized textbooks this typical reaction:
The energy shown in the reactant side may be supplied as UV light or heat. So, the role of UV light is to provide energy to start the reaction.
Answer:
It provides energy for the reaction.

Answer:
Explanation:
Combine Gas law is a combination of three gas laws which are Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law.
Combine gas law states that the ratio of the product of pressure and volume and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant.
Hence the equation becomes:
where P = pressure,
V = volume,
T = absolute temperature,
k = constant.
Now we know that Kelvin = °Celsius + 273
For all gas law problems it is necessary to work in the Kelvin scale because temperature is in the denominator in the combined gas laws (P/T, V/T and PV/T) and can be derived in the ideal gas law to the denominator (PV/RT) . If we measured temperature in Celsius we could have a value of zero degrees Celsius and this would solve as no solution, as you cannot have zero in the denominator.
However, if we reached zero in the Kelvin scale this would be absolute zero and all matter would stop and therefore there would be no gas laws to worry about.
