Answer:

A one-step mechanism involving a transition state that has a carbon partially bonded to both chlorine and oxygen

Explanation:

The compound CH3Cl is methyl chloride. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction that proceeds by an SN2 mechanism. The SN2 mechanism is a concerted reaction mechanism. This means that the departure of the leaving group is assisted by the incoming nucleophile. The both species are partially bonded to opposite sides of the carbon atom in the transition state.

Recall that an SN2 reaction is driven by the attraction between the negative charge of the nucleophile (OH^-) and the positive charge of the electrophile (the partial positive charge on the carbon atom bearing the chlorine leaving group).

I was wondering what the answer for this question would be ?
mixer [17]

Answer:

C. H2O is the base and H3O+ is the conjugate acid

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that loses an hydrogen ion or proton (H+) while a base is a substance that gains an hydrogen ion (H+) or proton. Furthermore, this theory states that, the molecule formed when an acid donates its proton is called the CONJUGATE BASE, while the molecule formed when the base accepts proton is called CONJUGATE ACID.

In this question, the following equation is given:

NH4+(aq) + H2O(aq) ⇌NH3(aq) + H3O+ (aq)

Water (H2O) is the base in this equation because according to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, it accepts an hydrogen ion (H+) while hydroxonium ion (H3O+) is the conjugate acid.

Which represents the correct equilibrium constant expression for the reaction below?
zubka84 [21]
K(eq) = concentration of products/concentration of reactant
         = [Cu+2] / [Ag+]^2 

Activity of pure solid and liquid is taken as 1.

Hence last option is correct.

Hope this helps, have a great day ahead!

A reaction mixture initially contains 0.86 atm NO and 0.86 atm SO3. Determine the equilibrium pressure of NO2 if Kp for the reac
dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Reaction equation for this reaction is as follows.

     NO(g) + SO_{3}(g) \rightarrow NO_{2}(g) + SO_{2}(g)

It is given that K_{p} = 0.0118.

According to the ICE table,

              NO(g) + SO_{3}(g) \rightarrow NO_{2}(g) + SO_{2}(g)

Initial:           0.86      0.86               0            0

Change:          -x          -x                 +x           +x

Equilibrium:  0.86 - x   0.86 - x         x           x

Hence, value of K_{p} will be calculated as follows.

           K_{p} = \frac{P_{NO_{2}} \times P_{SO_{3}}}{P_{NO} \times P_{SO_{3}}}

         0.0118 = \frac{x \times x}{(0.86 - x)^{2}}

             x = 0.084 atm

Thus, we can conclude that P_{NO_{2}} is 0.084 atm.
