1. In the first step of the mechanism for this process, a phenoxide anion is generated. This phenoxide anion goes on to act as a

nucleophile via an SN2 mechanism, displacing the chloride on 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol. Why doesn’t the phenoxide anion act as a base to deprotonate one of the alcohols on 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol? Write a brief, specific explanation (1-2 sentences).

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

In this case, in order to get an <u>elimination reaction</u> we need to have a <u>strong base</u>. In this case, the base is the phenoxide ion produced the phenol (see figure 1).  

Due to the resonance, we will have a more stable anion therefore we will have a less strong base because the negative charge is moving around the molecule (see figure 2).

Finally, the phenoxide will attack the <u>primary carbon</u> attached to the Cl. The C-Cl bond would be broken and the C-O would be produced <u>at the same time</u> to get a substitution (see figure 1).

A container of gas has a volume of 3.5 L and a pressure of 0.8 atm. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what volume of ga
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Initial volume of the gas =V_1=3.5 L

Final volume of the gas = V_2=?

Initial pressure of the gas =P_1=0.8 atm

Final volume of the gas = P_2=0.5 atm

Using Boyle's law:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

0.8 atm \times 3.5 L=0.5 atm\times V_2

V_2=5.6 L

Hence,the correct answer is option A.

If I have 17 liters of gas at 67C and 88.89 atm, what will be the pressure of the gas if I raise the temperature to 94C and decr
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. 140 atm

Explanation:

We use the gas formula, which results from the combination of the Boyle, Charles and Gay-Lussac laws. According to which at a constant mass, temperature, pressure and volume vary, keeping constant PV / T. We convert the unit Celsius into Kelvin:

0 ° C = 273K, 67 ° C = 273 + 67 = 340K; 94 ° C = 273 + 94 = 367K

P1xV1 /T1= P2x V2/T2

P2= ((P1xV1 /T1)xT2)/V2

P2=((88,89atm x 17L/340K)x367K)/12L= <em>135,927625 atm</em>
