Answer:
The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2
Explanation:
The empirical formula is CH2O ( or better said CnH2nOn)
This means there are 3 elements in the formula of this molecule
⇒ Carbon (C) with a Molar mass of 12 g/mole
⇒ Hydrogen (H) with a Molar mass of 1 g/mole
⇒ Oxygen (O) with a Molar mass of 16 g/mole
We can also notice that the amount of hydrogen should 2x the amount of carbon ( also 2x the amount of oxygen).
The mass of the empirical formule = 12g/ mole + 2* 1 g/mole + 16 g/mole = 30 g/mole
To know what number is n in CnH2nOn we should divide the molecular mass by the empirical mass:
60 g/mole / 30g/mole = 2
this means n = 2
and this will give a molecular formule of C2H4O2
We can control this to calculate the molecular mass:
2*12 + 4* 1 + 2*16 = 24 + 4 + 32 = 60 g/mole
The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2
Answer:
Energy of motion is called
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Part 1: 
reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have two steps. Firstly, chlorine, a good leaving group, leaves the carbon skeleton to form a relatively stable secondary carbocation. This carbocation is then attacked by the hydroxide anion, our nucleophile, to form the final product.
To summarize, this mechanism takes places in two separate steps. The mechanism is attached below.
Part 2: 
reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have one step. Our nucleophile, hydroxide, attacks the carbon and then chlorine leaves simultaneously without an intermediate carbocation being formed.
The mechanism is attached as well.
(b) The rate determining step is the slow step. Formation of the carbocation has the greatest activation energy, so this is our rate determining step for . For , we only have one step, so the rate determining step is the attack of the nucleophile and the loss of the leaving group.
