Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.
The mass of oxygen and hydrogen must be equal to the mass of the substance they create the water. So if the hydrogen is 2.8 g the oxygen must account for the rest of the mass. Basically just subtract 25.4-2.8=mass of oxygen
Answer:
The most consistent mechanism is SN1.
Explanation:
The solvolysis of tert-butyl iodide in methanol will arise by the SN1 mechanism.
The reason for that is due the geometric structure of tert-butyl. The tertiary structure allows the formation of a stable carbocation, after the loss of the iodide ion. The carbocation will then be attacked by methanol molecules forming an eter.
