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

Each of the following names is wrong. Draw structures based on them, and correct the names:(b) 1,1,1-trimethylheptane
devlian [24]

The correct IUPAC name of 1,1,1-trimethylheptane is 2,2-dimethyloctane.

<h3>IUPAC NAME:</h3>

It is systematic way of nomenclature of organic compounds.

It is based on the position of functional groups, preference of the functional group, long or short chain of carbon, preference of double bond, single and triple bond, branching of carbon chain, etc.

The given compound is 1,1,1-trimethylheptane.

The given name is wrong according to IUPAC name because the numbering of carbon atom should be done in that way in which the carbon atom chain is largest.

Here, in this case the numbering is done from right side. Thus the largest carbon chain have 8 carbon atom.

If the numbering is done according to the question, number of carbon atom in straight chain is 7.

Thus, we concluded that the Correct IUPAC name of 1,1,1-trimethylheptane is 2,2-dimethyloctane.

?Al + ?H2SO4 → ?Al2(SO4)3 +3H2
AfilCa [17]

The answer is: 27 grams of aluminium.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2Al + 3H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂.

n(H₂) = 1.5 mol; amount of hydrogen.

Form chemical reaction: n(Al) : n(H₂) = 2 : 3.

n(Al) = 2 · 1.5 mol ÷ 3.

n(Al) = 1.0 mol; amount of aluminium.

m(Al) = n(Al) · M(Al).

m(Al) = 1 mol · 27 g/mol.

m(Al) = 27 g; mass of aluminium.
