The compound HClO4, when placed in water, will dissociate into the ions, H+ and ClO4-. Therefore, the 2.0 M solution will also form 2.0 M H+. The pH is calculated through the equation,
pH = -log[H+]
Substituting,
pH = -log[2] = -0.3
Thus, the pH of the solution is -0.3.
Answer:
Four substitution products are obtained. The carbocation that forms can react with either nucleophile (H2O or CH3OH) from either the top or bottom side of the molecule
Explanation:
An SN1 reaction usually involves the formation of a carbocation in the slow rate determining step. This carbocation is now attacked by a nucleophile in a subsequent fast step to give the desired product.
However, the product is obtained as a racemic mixture because the nucleophile may attack from the top or bottom of the carbocation hence both attacks are equally probable.
The attacking nucleophile in this case may be water or CH3OH
Answer:
The independent variable is the condition that you change in an experiment. It is the variable you control.
Explanation:
It is called independent because its value does not depend on and is not affected by the state of any other variable in the experiment. Sometimes you may hear this variable called the "controlled variable" because it is the one that is changed.
