Answer:

The alkyl halide is secondary

The nucleophile is a poor nucleophile

The solvent is a protic solvent

The product is racemic

Explanation:

The reaction is shown in the image attached.

Alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution by two mechanisms; SN1 and SN2. The particular mechanism that applies depends on;

I) structure of the alkyl halide

ii) nature of the nucleophile

iii) nature of the solvent

Looking at the reaction under review, we can see from the structure that the alkyl halide is a secondary alkyl halide. A secondary alkyl halide may undergo substitution via SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the conditions of the reaction.

If the nucleophile is poor, and the solvent is protic, SN1 mechanism is favoured over SN2 mechanism. Since CH3CH2OH is a poor nucleophile and ethanol is a protic solvent, we expect the reaction to proceed via SN1 mechanism leading to the formation of a racemic product.

The organic product is also shown in the second image attached.

30. a. How do the properties of metals differ from those
Ahat [919]

Explanation:

Metals are elements that ionized by loss of electrons.

Ionic and molecular compounds are usually non-metals.

Properties of metals:

  • Metals have free mobile electrons and the metallic bonding ensures that.
  • They are usually electropositive and freely looses their electrons.
  • None of the metal is soluble without a chemical change occurring.
  • They are ductile and malleable.
  • Metals are good conductor or heat and electricity in their free uncombined state.
  • They are lustrous.

B. The specific property of metals accountable for their unusual electrical conductivity is due to the presence of free mobile electrons in their lattices.

Milk of magnesia has the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. What is the mass of 3.2 moles of milk of magnesia? The molar Mass of magnesiu
GenaCL600 [577]
To calculate the mass of milk of magnesia given, we need certain data like molar mass of the compound which needs the atomic mass of the atoms in the compound. We calculate as follows:

Molar mass of <span>Mg(OH)2 = 24.3 g/mol + (2 x (16 + 1.0)) = 58.30 g/mol

Mass = 3.2 mol (</span>58.30 g/mol) = 186.56 grams

Sodium is a silvery-white metal that reacts with chlorine gas, which is a yellow-greenish gas that is toxic. The reaction gives
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Sodium is a silvery-white metal that reacts with chlorine gas, which is a yellow-greenish gas that is toxic. The  reaction gives off a lot of heat. After the reaction, which statement is true about the chemical properties of the product, sodium chloride?

Pure sodium reacts violently and sometimes explosively with water producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and heat

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Chlorine is a very poisonous yellow green gas with a sharp odour that was used in gas warfare during WW1

Sodium and chlorine reacts with each other, however, to produce one of the most familiar substance used in cooking and preservation industry today Sodium Chloride or Common salt or table salt in the irreversible equation;

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

Explanation:

It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily sodium has one electron in its outermost valence shell while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell. when sodium atom transfers one electron to chlorine atom forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-) both ions have complete valence shells and are energetically more stable. the reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat and fumes of sodium chloride.

In a reaction observation of the reaction process you will see sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with water.
