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.

Complete the equation for the conversion of sucrose into glucose <br> (1)C12H22O11 + H2O
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O     →    C₅H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O     →    C₅H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Source of sucrose:

Sucrose is present in roots of plants and also in fruits. It is storage form of energy. Some insects and bacteria use sucrose as main food. Best example is honeybee which collect sucrose and convert it into honey.

Monomers of sucrose and hydrolysis:

Sucrose consist of monomers glucose and fructose which are join together through glycosidic bond. Hydrolysis break the sucrose molecule into glucose and fructose. In hydrolysis glycosidic bond is break which convert the sucrose into glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis is slow process but this reaction is catalyze by enzyme. The enzyme invertase catalyze this reaction.

The given reaction also completely follow the law of conservation of mass. There are equal number of atoms of elements on both side of chemical equation thus mass remain conserved.
