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.

Schach [20]
D. A disadvantage of nuclear power is that waste products are unsafe and hard to store. They must be stored for many hundreds of years before they becomes safe and easier to dispose of, and we currently don't have a good method of storing them in the meantime.

Which of the following is a salt that will form from the combination of a strong base with a weak acid?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

A. NaHCO₃

Explanation:

NaHCO₃ ⇒ NaOH + H₂CO₃

NaOH is a strong base and H₂CO₃ is a weak acid. Therefore, NaHCO₃ is a salt of a strong base-weak acid reaction. The salt is basic because carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) is a weak acid so it remains undissociated. So, there is a presence of additional OH⁻ ions that makes the solution basic.

Hope that helps.

I am a nonmetal.I am in the Oxygen family and in row 3.I have 6 valence electrons.I am yellow and have a stinky smell.Who am i
Dimas [21]

Answer:

sulfur

Explanation:

In oxygen family sulfur has yellow color and also having stinky smell. Thus given statements are about sulfur.

It is present in oxygen family.

It has six valance electrons.

Its atomic number is 16.

Its atomic weight is 32 amu.

The electronic configuration of sulfur is given below,

S₁₆ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

We can see the valance shell is third shell and it have six electrons thus sulfur have six valance electrons. (3s² 3p⁴ )

Sulfur is used in vulcanisation process.

It is used in bleach and also as a preservative for many food.

it is used to making gun powder.
