I believe this question has the following five choices to choose from:

 

>an SN2 reaction has occurred with inversion of configuration

>racemization followed by an S N 2 attack

>an SN1 reaction has taken over resulting in inversion of configuration

>an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

>an SN1 reaction followed by an S N 2 “backside” attack

 

 

The correct answer is:

an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

Which statement is correct regarding the reaction ?
larisa86 [58]

The true statement is that after reaching equilibrium, the rate of forming products and reactants is the same.

<h3>What is true about the given reaction?</h3>

The given reaction shows a reaction between A and B to form CD

The reaction is a reversible reaction.

A reversible reaction is a reaction which can proceed in either of two ways where the reactants can react to form the product and also the products an break down to form the reactants.

In the reaction given, as the concentration of A and b decreases, the concentration of CD increases and vice versa.

At equilibrium, the rate of formation of CD is equal to the the rate of decomposition of CD.

Therefore, the true statement is that after reaching equilibrium, the rate of forming products and reactants is the same.

In conclusion, a reaction at equilibrium has the forward and backward reactions occurring at the sane rate.

Which of the following is a double replacement reaction? Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 8Fe + S8 → 8FeS Z
abruzzese [7]

That would be the first option Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4  → CaSO4 + 2H2O.

The Ca replaces the H2 in H2SO4,  and the  H2 replaces the Ca is Ca(OH)2.

Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of
dsp73
The first thing we need to do here is to recognize the unit of molarity and the units of the given percentage of nitric acid.

Molarity is mol HNO3 / L of solution. This is our aim

The given percentage is 0.68 g HNO3/ g solution

multiplying this with density to convert g solution into mL solution and dividing with the molecular weight of HNO3 (63 g/mol) to convert g HNO3 to mol. Therefore we obtain

0.016 mol/ mL or 16.23 mol/ L (M)
