Explanation:

In NaOH(s), the sodium hydroxide is present in solid state because (s) represents solid state of a substance.

This also means that there is strong force of attraction between sodium and hydroxide ions due to which they are bonded together.

In NaOH(aq), the sodium hydroxide is present in aqueous state because (aq) represents aqueous state.

This also means that in NaOH(aq) there are sodium and hydroxide ions are present in the solution.

Draw the major organic substitution product(s) for (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane reacting with the given nucleophile. Indicate

Andrew [12]

Answer:

(2R,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

and

(2S,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

Explanation:

For this case, we will have $CH_3CH_2O^-$ as nucleophile. Also, this compound is also in excess. So, we will have as solvent $CH_3CH_2OH$ a protic solvent. Therefore the Sn1 reaction would be favored.

The first step would be the carbocation formation followed by the attack of the nucleophile. In this case both isomers would be produced: R and S (see figure).
