Answer:

Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture

Explanation:

S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.

However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.

Suppose you were calibrating a 100.0 ml volumetric flask using distilled water. the flask temperature was at 20°c, and you assum
kicyunya [14]
The density of water at 12°C is lower than the density of water at 20°C.

Now density is related to volume as per: density = mass / volume =>

mass = volume * density.

So, the greaer the density the higher the mass of the same volume of water.

Therefore, 100.0 ml of water at 12°C has a mass greater than 100.00 ml of water at 20 °C.
