When dipentyl ether is treated with HI, what type of reaction occurs? both SN1 and SN2 SN2 E1 SN1 E2

Chemistry
1 answer:
masha68 [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

SN2

Explanation:

The first step of ether cleavage is the protonation of the ether since ROH is a better leaving group than RO-.

The second step of the reaction may proceed by either SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the structure of the ether. Methyl and primary ethers react with HI by SN2 mechanism while tertiary ethers react with HI by SN1 mechanism. Secondary ethers react with HI by a mixture of both mechanisms.

Dipentyl ether is a primary ether hence when treated with HI, the reaction with HI proceeds by SN2 mechanism as explained above.

The density of gold is 19.32 g/mL. What is the volume, in mL, of a nugget of gold with a mass of 55.07 g?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: 2.850

Explanation:

19.32=\frac{55.07}{v}\\19.32v=55.07\\v=\frac{55.07}{19.32}=\boxed{2.850 \text{ mL}}

Nitric monoxide (NO) reacts with oxygen gas to form nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), a dark brown gas. If 5.895 mol of NO is mixed with 2
Schach [20]

Answer:

Limiting reactant: O2

grams NO2 produced = 230.276 g NO2

grams of NO unused = 26.67 gNO

Explanation:

2NO + O2 --> 2NO2

Step 1: Determine the molar ratio NO:O2

molar ratio NO:O2 = 5.895: 2.503 = 2.35

stoichiometric molar ratio NO:O2 = 2:1

So, O2 is the limiting reactant.

Step2: Determine the grams of NO2:

?g NO2 = moles O2 x (2moles NO2/1 mol O2) x (MM NO2/ 1 mol NO2) = 2.503 x 2 x 46 = 230.276 g NO2

Step 3: Determine the amount of excess reagent unreacted

moles excess NO reacted = moles O2 x (2 moles NO/1 mol O2) = 2.503 x 2 = 5.006 moles NO reacted

moles NO unreacted = total moles NO - moles NO reacted = 5.895-5.006 =0.889 moles NO unreacted

mass NO unreacted = moles NO unreacted x MM NO = 0.889 x 30 =26.67 g NO unreacted

Why is the greenhouse effect important to life on earth
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Because Greenhouse gases let the sun's light shine onto the Earth's surface, but they trap the heat that reflects back up into the atmosphere. And this way, they act like the glass walls of a greenhouse. This greenhouse effect also keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life.
