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).

A chunk of tin weighing 18.5 grams and originally at 97.38 °C is dropped into an insulated cup containing 75.7 grams of water at
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

22.44°C will be the final temperature of the water.

Explanation:

Heat lost by tin will be equal to heat gained by the water

-Q_1=Q_2

Mass of tin = m_1=18.5 g

Specific heat capacity of tin = c_1=0.21 J/g^oC

Initial temperature of the tin = T_1=97.38^oC

Final temperature = T_2=T

Q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)

Mass of water= m_2=75.7 g

Specific heat capacity of water= c_2=4.184 J/g^oC

Initial temperature of the water = T_3=21.52^oC

Final temperature of water = T_2=T

Q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)

-Q_1=Q_2

-(m_1c_1\times (T-T_1))=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)

On substituting all values:

-(18.5 g\times 0.21 J/g^oC\times (T-97.38^oC))=75.7 g\times 4.184 J/g^oC\times (T-21.52 ^oC)

we get, T = 22.44°C

22.44°C will be the final temperature of the water.

Which of the following solutions is acidic? [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-10 M [H3O+] < 1.0 x 10-7 M [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M [OH-] = 1.0 x
Burka [1]

Answer:

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution can be determined directly from the concentration of the hydrogen ions and indirectly from the concentrations of the hydroxide ions.

Generally, for a neutral solution we have;

[H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M

For an acidic solution;

[H3O+] > 1.0 x 10-7 M

[OH-] < 1.0 x 10-7 M

Comparing the options the correct option is;

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M
