S-2-iodooctane lost his opticaly activity in soln on tratment wwithNaI. Explain

Chemistry
1 answer:
IceJOKER [234]3 years ago
5 0

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.

The “fatal flaw” in Rutherford’s model of the atom was the idea that if the electrons were ________.
Wittaler [7]
The correct option is A. Rutherford model of the atom consider an atom to be made up of a central nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. The nucleus is considered to be tiny, heavy and its positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged. The shortcoming of this model is that it was not able to explain how the positive nucleus was not able to attract the negative electrons and pull them inside the nucleus.

How many moles of gas are contained in a rigid, sealed, 5 L container, at 1 atm of pressure and 22 oc?
Ugo [173]
The ideal gas law is: PV=nRT
Pressure
Volume
n= moles
R= gas constant
Temperature in Kelvin
(Degrees in celsius +273)
n= PV/RT
(1.00atm)(5.00L)/(.08026)(295K)= .207mol of gas

Explain why Cl2 can form two different Na bonds
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: There is a single covalent bond in a chlorine molecule.

Explanation: The chlorine molecule is represented as Cl−Cl, i.e. C

l2. Between the chlorine atoms, 2 electrons overlap to form a region of high electron density to which the positively charged chlorine nuclei are attracted, such that internuclear repulsion is negated and a net attractive force results. Because the bonding electrons are shared between the nuclei, we conceive that each atom has 8 valence electrons.

Of course, on reaction with sodium, the sodium reduces the chlorine molecule to give 2×Cl−. The resultant bond between Na+ and Cl−is ionic and a non-molecular substance results.
