Answer:

The incomplete and varying inversion of configuration takes place at the chirality center.

Explanation:

When optically active alcohols react with HBr an SN1 reaction occurs.

In SN1 reactions an intermediate carbocation is formed in which the nucleophile can attack it on either side of the molecule. Therefore, there is a partial inversion of the center of chilarity of the molecule.

Answer:

The answer is: Incomplete and varying inversion of configuration takes place at the chirality center.

Explanation:

The bromide ion is characterized by being a weak nucleophile, its high pKb value indicates SN1 and also tends to form a carbocation. The hydroxyl group leaves the bond when it undergoes acidification, leading to the formation of a carbocation. Nucleophilic attack of the bromide ion on the p orbital produces a racemic compound.

How do you calculate zone of inhibition?​
Sloan [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>In order to measure the zone of inhibition we measure the diameter of the zone of inhibition including the diameter of the disc.</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A Zone of Inhibition Test, also called a Kirby-Bauer Test, is a qualitative method used clinically to measure antibiotic resistance and industrially to test the ability of solids and textiles to inhibit microbial growth. The zone is measured by the diameter across the zone and you do not consider the disc at all. Zone is measured from edge to edge of the clear area , which means disc will be inside and included in the measurement.

2. Calculate the molarity of 500.0 grams of Li2S in a total volume of 4.44 liters?
grigory [225]

Answer:

2.448 M ≅ 2.45 M.

Explanation:

Molarity (M) is the no. of moles of solute that dissolved in 1.0 L of the solution.

M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L).

M = (mass/molar mass) Li₂S / (V of the solution (L))

<em>∴ M of Li₂S</em> = (500.0 g/46.4 g/mol)/(4.44 L) = <em>2.448 M ≅ 2.45 M.</em>
