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.

A series circuit has two 5.0-ohm resistors and a power source of 9.0 volts. How will the current be affected and what will it be
miskamm [114]
The formula for solving current given with resistance and power source or voltage is shown below:
I = V/R  

When two 5 ohms resistors are in series, we have:
I = 9 volts / (5+5 ohms)
I = 0.9 amperes

When it is being added with another 7.5 resistors, we have:
I = 9 volts / (5+5+7.5 ohms)
I = 0.529 ampere

The answer to the question is the letter "D. decrease; 0.51 amps".

Uhm cell parts and functions
sergiy2304 [10]

A cell is the structural and fundamental unit of life. The study of cells from its basic structure to the functions of every cell organelle is called Cell Biology. Robert Hooke was the first Biologist who discovered cells

two types of cell

1) Prokaryotes

2) Eukaryotes

Characteristics of Cells

1) Cells provide structure and support to the body of an organism.

2) The cell interior is organised into different individual organelles surrounded by a separate membrane.

3) The nucleus (major organelle) holds genetic information necessary for reproduction and cell growth
