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.

What is the percent by mass of water in Na S04.10H20?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

                    Percent by mass of water is 56%

Explanation:

                    First of all calculate the mass of hydrated compound as,

Mass of Sodium = Na × 2 = 22.99 × 1 = 45.98 g

Mass of Sulfur = S × 1 = 32.06 × 1 = 32.06 g

Mass of Oxygen = O × 14 = 16 × 14 = 224 g

Mass of Hydrogen = H × 20 = 1.01 × 20 = 20.2 g

Mass of Na₂S0₄.10H₂O = 322.24 g

Secondly, calculate mass of water present in hydrated compound. For this one should look for the coefficient present before H₂O in molecular formula of hydrated compound. In this case the coefficient is 10, so the mass of water is...

Mass of water = 10 × 18.02

Mass of water = 180.2 g

Now, we will apply following formula to find percent of water in hydrated compound,

           %H₂O  =  Mass of H₂O / Mass of Hydrated Compound × 100

Putting values,

                                      %H₂O  = 180.2 g / 322.24 g × 100

                                           %H₂O =  55.92 % ≈ 56%

The VSEPR model was developed before any xenon compounds had been prepared. Thus, these compounds provided an excellent test of
Natalka [10]

The maximum amount of XeF4 that could be produced is 0.5 moles.

XeF4 = Xe (g) 2 F2 (g) (g)

Xe and F2 have a mole ratio of 1:2. Because of this, the reaction would be limited by F2 when there is 1 mole of Xe and 1 mole of F2.

<h3>What is mole ratio?</h3>

The mole ratio is the ratio of any two compounds' mole amounts that are present in a balanced chemical reaction.

A comparison of the ratios of the molecules required to accomplish the reaction is given by the balancing chemical equation.

A mole ratio is a conversion factor used in chemical reactions to link the mole quantities of any two compounds. A conversion factor's numbers are derived from the balanced chemical equation's coefficients.

Iron iii chloride ammonium hydroxide balanced equation, complete ionic equation, net ionic equation
Vladimir [108]
Iron III Chloride has a chemical formula of FeCl₃, while ammonium hydroxide has a chemical formula of NH₄OH. 

The <em>balanced equation</em> would be:

FeCl₃ (aq) + 3 NH₄OH (aq) → Fe(OH)₃ (s) + 3 NH₄Cl (aq)
The precipitate is Fe(OH)₃ or iron iii hydroxide.

To find the <em>complete ionic equation</em>, dissociate the compounds in aqueous phases into their ionic forms:

Fe³⁺ + Cl⁻ + NH₄⁺ + 3 OH⁻ -->  Fe(OH)₃(s) + NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻ 

To find the <em>net ionic equation</em>, cancel out like ions that appear both in the reactant and product side:

Fe³⁺ +  3 OH⁻ -->  Fe(OH)₃
