Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously.
Example:
OH⁻ + CH₃-Br → CH₃-OH + Br⁻
In above reaction,
OH⁻ = Incoming Nucleophile
CH₃-Br = Substrate
CH₃-OH = Product
Br⁻ = Leaving group
Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.
Answer : The volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.
Explanation :
Let the volume of sodium benzoate (salt) be, x
So, the volume of benzoic acid (acid) will be, (100 - x)
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BSalt%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
x = 29.0
The volume of sodium benzoate = x = 29.0 mL
The volume of benzoic acid (acid) = (100 - x) = (100 - 29.0) = 71 mL
Thus, the volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.
Answer:
Hey there!
That would be the alkaline earth metals.
Hope this helps :)
