No matter how big or little a material is, its properties remain the same. Size, form, color, and mass are the qualities that distinguish a material from non-substances. All of these qualities, including size, shape, color, and mass, can be seen and measured. Some characteristics are physical, while others are chemical. Physical characteristics include mass, volume, density, and color. Viscosity and solubility are examples of chemical qualities.
Like dissolves like
so water is polar
CCl4 is nonpolar
LiCl is polar
CH4 is nonpolar
PCl6 is nonpolar
so LiCl would dissolve
Answer:
Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture
Explanation:
S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.
However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.
breaking bonds in reactants and forming new bonds in products. Breaking bonds requires energy, and forming bonds releases energy.
