Explain why the following primary substrate undergoes SN1 very rapidly (the OTs is the leaving group)?

1 answer:

3 0

SN1 is a substitution reaction with n being the nucleophilic substitution an 1 represents a unimolecular reaction. Because the given molecule on the central carbon is sterically hindered, the rate of carbocation formation is increased dramatically. It will make the OT (leaving group) to leave and a nucleophile (nucleophilic attack) will react to the carbocation.

Exposure of silver Chloride to sunlight for a long duration turns grey due to

Tema [17]

Answer:

Exposure of silver chloride to sunlight for a long duration turns grey due to photolytic decomposition i.e decomposition in the presence of sunlight.

Explanation:

When silver chloride, AgCl is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will undergo decomposition as the sunlight provides sufficient energy needed to decomposed the salt, AgCl to metallic silver and chlorine gas. This can be seen in the equation below:

2AgCl —> 2Ag + Cl2
