Answer:
Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture
Explanation:
S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.
However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.
N = given mass/ molar mass.
n = number of moles
given mass = 2.47 g
molar mass = 197 g/mol
n = 2.47 / 197
n = 0.01253 moles.
I'm sure you wanted to ask more than this. Just put some comments in. I can do the same.
The molecular formula of the compound that we are required to find is the compound C4H8O8
<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>
The empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the ratio of each atom present in the compound. We will start by dividing each mass with the relative atomic mass of the atom.
Carbon - 48.38 g/12 Hydrogen - 6.74 g/1 Oxygen - 53.5 g/16
Carbon - 4 Hydrogen - 6.74 Oxygen - 8.9
Dividing through by the lowest ratio;
Carbon - 4/4 Hydrogen - 6.74/4 Oxygen 8.9/4
Carbon 1 Hydrogen 2 Oxygen 2
The empirical formula is CH2O2.

Your reaction
.. Fe + O2 ---> FexOy
for this reaction..
.. the Fe on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the Fe on the right is in the +(2y/x) oxidation state
.. the O on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the O on the right is in the -2 oxidation state
meaning
.. the O is reduced... . . (it's reduced in oxidation state)
.. the Fe is oxidized.. . .(oxidation state increased)
this is a REDOX reaction
