Anions are solvated in protic hydrogen-bonding solvents (such as ethanol). Consequently, nucleophiles are less reactive. Since soft nucleophiles are less strongly solvated than hard nucleophiles, these solvents boost the relative reactivity of soft anions.

<h3>Ethanol is either a nucleophile or a base.</h3>

The ethanol is a base  Because carbocation is an extremely reactive species, a base or nucleophile as weak as ethanol can replace or remove it. SN1 and E1 would not be conceivable without the carbocation or a strong departing group.

<h3>How do solvents impact anionic nucleophile's reactivity?</h3>

In polar aprotic solvents, nucleophilic substitution reactions of anionic nucleophiles often proceed more quickly. The normal relative reactivity order in such solvents (like DMSO)is Anions are solvated in protic hydrogen-bonding solvents (such as ethanol). Consequently, nucleophiles are less reactive.

A certain process has ΔH° &gt; 0, ΔS° &lt; 0, and ΔG° &gt; 0. The values of ΔH° and ΔS° do not depend on the temperature. Which
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: It is non-spontaneous at all T.

Explanation:

According to Gibb's equation:

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

\Delta G = Gibbs free energy = +ve

\Delta H = enthalpy change  = +ve

\Delta S = entropy change  = -ve

T = temperature in Kelvin

\Delta G= +ve, reaction is non spontaneous

\Delta G= -ve, reaction is spontaneous

\Delta G= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Putting in the values:

\Delta G=(+ve)-T(-ve)

\Delta G=(+ve)(+ve)=+ve  

Reaction is non spontaneous at all temperatures.

In case of accidental contact with chemicals, how long should the eyes be flushed at the eyewash station
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The duration of flushing the eyes at the eyewash station in case of accidental contact with chemicals depends of the nature of the chemical.</em>

If the chemical is known to be a <u>non-irritant or mild-irritant</u> one, a <u>5-minute </u>washing time is recommended as the first aid. before seeking the help of a physician,

For <u>moderate to severe irritant</u> chemicals, an immediate <u>15-20 minutes</u> washing period is recommended before seeking further medical help.

For <u>corrosive and strong alkalis</u> chemicals, <u>30 and 60 minutes</u> washing are recommended respectively before seeking the attention of a physician.

However, if the nature of the chemical is unknown,<u> a minimum of 20-minutes washing is generally recommended</u> as first aid before seeking immediate medical help.

Imagine you had HCl with a concentration of exactly 0.10 mol/dm3. If 0.023 dm3 of a sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH (aq), could
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the amount of sodium hydroxide in moles

Volume of sodium hydroxide solution = 25.0 ÷ 1,000 = 0.0250 dm3

Rearrange:

Concentration in mol/dm3 =

Amount of solutein mol = concentration in mol/dm3 × volume in dm3

Amount of sodium hydroxide = 0.100 × 0.0250

= 0.00250 mol

Step 2: Find the amount of hydrochloric acid in moles

The balanced equation is: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

So the mole ratio NaOH:HCl is 1:1

Therefore 0.00250 mol of NaOH reacts with 0.00250 mol of HCl

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid in mol/dm3

Volume of hydrochloric acid = 20.00 ÷ 1000 = 0.0200 dm3

Concentration in mol/dm3 =

Concentration in mol/dm3 =

= 0.125 mol/dm3

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid in g/dm3

Relative formula mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5

Mass = relative formula mass × amount

Mass of HCl = 36.5 × 0.125

= 4.56 g

So concentration = 4.56 g/dm3
