Answer:
IV
Explanation:
The complete question is shown in the image attached.
Let us call to mind the fact that the SN1 mechanism involves the formation of carbocation in the rate determining step. The order of stability of cabocations is; tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl.
Hence, a tertiary alkyl halide is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism since it forms a more stable cabocation in the rate determining step.
Structure IV is a tertiary alkyl halide, hence it is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism.
Answer:
(a) 0.779 mol Cr₂O₃
(b) 118 g Cr₂O₃
Explanation:
Step 1: Convert 156 g Cr₂S₃ to moles
Cr Molar Mass - 52.00 g/mol × 2 = 104.00 g/mol
S Molar Mass - 32.07 g/mol × 3 = 96.21 g/mol
156 g Cr₂S₃ ÷ 200.21 g/mol = 0.779182 mol Cr₂S₃
Step 2: Find conversion from Cr₂S₃ to Cr₂O₃
1 mol Cr₂S₃ equals 1 mol Cr₂O₃
Step 3: Use Dimensional Analysis
0.779182 mol Cr₂S₃ · = 0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃
0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃ ≈ 0.779 mol Cr₂O₃ (3 significant figures)
Step 4: Convert moles to grams
Cr Molar Mass - 52.00 g/mol × 2 = 104.00 g/mol
O Molar Mass - 16.00 g/mol × 3 = 48.00 g/mol
0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃ · 152.00 g/mol = 118.436 g Cr₂O₃
118.436 g Cr₂O₃ ≈ 118 g Cr₂O₃ (3 significant figures)
