The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.
According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.
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.
Answer:
Boiling point of the solution is 100.78°C
Explanation:
This is about colligative properties.
First of all, we need to calculate molality from the freezing point depression.
ΔT = Kf . m . i
As the solute is nonelectrolyte, i = 1
0°C - (-2.79°C) = 1.86 °C/m . m . 1
2.79°C / 1.86 m/°C = 1.5 m
Now, we go to the boiling point elevation
ΔT = Kb . m . i
Final T° - 100°C = 0.52 °C/m . 1.5m . 1
Final T° = 0.52 °C/m . 1.5m . 1 + 100°C → 100.78°C
1 mole ------------- 22.4 L ( at STP )
?? mole ---------- 12 L
12 x 1 / 22.4 => 0.5357 moles
hope this helps!
