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.

When aqueous solutions of NH4OH(aq) and CuCl2(aq) are mixed, the products are NH4Cl(aq) and Cu(OH)2(s). What is the net ionic eq
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

2OH^-(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) -----> Cu(OH)2(s)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation usually shows the main ionic reaction that goes in the system. The other ions that do not participate in this net ionic equation are called spectator ions. Spectator ions do not participate in the main reaction occurring in the system.

The net ionic equation quite often result in the formation of a solid precipitate in the system such as Cu(OH)2.

The net ionic equation for this reaction is;

2OH^-(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) -----> Cu(OH)2(s)

A piece of iron (C=0.449 J/g°C) and a piece of gold (C=0.128 J/g°C) have identical masses. If the iron has an initial temperatur
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Since the two metals have the same mass, but the specific heat capacity of iron is much greater than that of gold, the final temperature of the two metals will be closer to 498 K than to 298 K

Explanation:

Iron is hotter and gold is colder, therefore, according to laws of thermodynamics, iron will lose heat to gold until they are at the same temperature.

The specific heat capacity of iron(0.449) is over three times that of gold(0.128). Since masses are equal, this means that each time iron's temperature drops by one degree, the energy released it releases makes gold's temperature increase by more than 3 degrees. So gold's temperature will be climbing much faster than iron's is falling. Meaning they will meet closer to the initial temperature of iron than that of gold
