1. Ethanol and 2,6-dimethylphenol both have hydroxyl groups that can be deprotonated by a base. Why does ethanol act as a solven

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.

Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.

Given that naphthalene is insoluble in water and sublimes easily upon heating, describe two different methods by which you could
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
<span>Based on solubilities you can separate naphthalene and NaCl by adding the mixture to a volume of water. NaCl is highly soluble in water, so it will dissolve completely, while the insoluble naphthalen will remain solid. Next your filter the solution, washing the solid with pure water to eliminate all the NaCl from it. The NaCl will remain is solution, and you can obtain it by evaporating the water. The other method to separate naphthalene and NaCl is based on sublimation property of naphthalene: you can permit that naphthalene sublimes freely or use vacuum to accelerate the process. You use a closed vessel to catch all the gas, while the NaCl will remain solid.</span>
