The equation that shows the formation of chromium (ii) ion from neutral chromium atom is as follow
Cr ---> cr^2+ + 2e-
Cr^2+ is the chromium ion with oxidation state of two which is one of the common ion of chromium. Other common ion of chromium include chromium of oxidation state 6 and 3
Adding (S2O3)2- would affect the reaction mechanism that involves this ion. From the reaction mechanism given above, the equilibrium of step 2 would be affected. Adding the stock solution of (S2O3)2- would shift the equilibrium to the right thus making more products of the said mechanism. Also, the reaction rate of this step would occur faster than the original rate. This is based on Le Chatelier's Prinicple which states that a corresponding change would happen to the equilibrium of a reaction when pressure, concentration of the substances or temperature is changed. So, that after the addition, a color change would appear immediately because I3- would be removed slowly from solution, and would therefore be able to react with starch.
Answer:
- Elimination
- Elimination
- Zaitsev
- Zaitsev
- Carbocation
Explanation:
- The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
- The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
- The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION
Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism
Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds
Na = +1
H = +1
O = -2
Total charge is 0:
1 + 1 + C + 3 x -2 = 0
C = 4
