why should the pka of a leaving groups conjugate acid be considered when performing a substitution reaction

1 answer:

7 0

<span> A : pKa values have little effect on a functional group's ability to leave. There is no need to consider this when outlining a substitution reaction. B : In order to have a substitution reaction a compound needs to a have a functional group that will serve as a good leaving group. A high pKa (pKa > 5) of a conjugate acid produces the weakest conjugate bases in a substitution reaction. C : In order to have a substitution reaction a compound needs to a have a functional group that will serve as a poor leaving group. A low pKa (pKa > 0) of a conjugate acid produces the weakest conjugate bases in a substitution reaction. D : In order to have a substitution reaction a compound needs to a have a functional group that will serve as a good leaving group. A low pKa (pKa < 0) of a conjugate acid produces the weakest conjugate bases in a substitution reaction. This favors a substitution reaction.</span>

A sample of an unknown gas takes 222 s to diffuse through a porous plug at a given temperature. At the same temperature, N2(g) t

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{45.1 g/mol}}$

Explanation:

Graham’s Law applies to the diffusion of gases:

The rate of diffusion (r) of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (M).

$r \propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{M}}$

If you have two gases, the ratio of their rates of diffusion is

$\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}$

The time for diffusion is inversely proportional to the rate.

$\dfrac{t_{2}}{t_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{2}}{M_{1}}}$

Data:

t₂ = 222 s

t₁ = 175 s

M₁ = 28.01

Calculation :

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{222}{175} & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{2}}{28.01}}\\\\1.269 & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{2}}{28.01}}\\\\1.609 & = & \dfrac{M_{2}}{28.01}\\\\M_{2} & = & 1.609 \times 28.01\\ & = & \textbf{45.1 g/mol}\\\end{array}\\\text{The molar mass of the unknown gas is $\large \boxed{\textbf{45.1 g/mol}}$}$
