Answer:
See the image 1
Explanation:
If you look carefully at the progress of the SN2 reaction, you will realize something very important about the outcome. The nucleophile, being an electron-rich species, must attack the electrophilic carbon from the back side relative to the location of the leaving group. Approach from the front side simply doesn't work: the leaving group - which is also an electron-rich group - blocks the way. (see image 2)
The result of this backside attack is that the stereochemical configuration at the central carbon inverts as the reaction proceeds. In a sense, the molecule is turned inside out. At the transition state, the electrophilic carbon and the three 'R' substituents all lie on the same plane. (see image 3)
What this means is that SN2 reactions whether enzyme catalyzed or not, are inherently stereoselective: when the substitution takes place at a stereocenter, we can confidently predict the stereochemical configuration of the product.
Answer:
If the pKa of the acid is low (negative), then the acid is strong.
Explanation:
Ka, <em>the acid ionization constant, </em>measures the strength of an acid in a solution. Stronger acids have higher Ka values.
We defined: pKa = -log[Ka]
This function is a decreasing function, meaning that pKa will be getting smaller and smaller, while increasing Ka (high values of Ka will have negative pKa values). Therefore, stronger acids (high values of Ka), will have low (negative) pKa values.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Because it is the greatest
Answer:
Maybe they both have valence electrons and can be used in chemical reactions. I could be wrong, I don't have any exact answers.

Answer:
The answer to your question is pH = 1.45
Explanation:
Data
pH = ?
Volume 1 = 200 ml
[HCl] 1 = 0.025 M
Volume 2 = 150 ml
[HCl] 2 = 0.050 M
Process
1.- Calculate the number of moles of each solution
Solution 1
Molarity = moles / volume
-Solve for moles
moles = 0.025 x 0.2
result
moles = 0.005
Solution 2
moles = 0.050 x 0.15
-result
moles = 0.0075
2.- Sum up the number of moles
Total moles = 0.005 + 0.0075
= 0.0125
3.- Sum up the volume
total volume = 200 + 150
350 ml or 0.35 l
4.- Calculate the final concentration
Molarity = 0.0125 / 0.35
= 0.0357
5.- Calculate the pH
pH = -log [H⁺]
-Substitution
pH = -log[0.0357]
-Result
pH = 1.45
