Half-life is the duration needed for a compound to decay into half of its initial weight. In this case, the initial weight is 100gram. The calculation for the final weight should be:

final weight= initial weight * (1/2)^(duration/half-life)
final weight= 100 grams * (1/2)^(20days/5 days)
final weight= 100 grams * (1/2)^(4)
final weight= 100 * 1/16= 100/16 gram= 6.25 grams

The following mechanism has been proposed for the conversion of tert-butyl bromide to tert-butyl alcohol in aqueous solution: st
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The first step in this reaction is a unimolecular reaction. It involves the formation of the carbocation. This is so because tertiary alkyl halides only undergo substitution by SN1 mechanism due to sterric crowding.

The second step in the reaction is bi molecular. In this step, the carbocation now combines with the OH^- to yield the alcohol.

Net equation of the reaction is;

(CH3)3CBr + OH^- -------> (CH3)3COH + Br^-

The intermediate here is the carbocation,  (CH3)3C^+
