Answer:

1- bromopentane 1- bromo-3-methylbutane 1-bromo2-methylbutane 2-bromo-2-methylbutane

Explanation:

SN square reaction is a concentrated reaction. All the bond making and bond braking occur in one step

The nucleophile attack the back side of the carbon that bears the halide and replace it

What would be the composition and ph of an ideal buffer prepared from lactic acid (ch3chohco2h), where the hydrogen atom highlig

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$P_H =2.86$

$c=1.4\times 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

first write the equilibrium equaion ,

$C_3H_6O_3$ ⇄ $C_3H_5O_3^{-} +H^{+}$

assuming degree of dissociation $\alpha$ =1/10;

and initial concentraion of $C_3H_6O_3$ =c;

At equlibrium ;

concentration of $C_3H_6O_3 = c-c\alpha$

$[C_3H_5O_3^{-} ]= c\alpha$

$[H^{+}] = c\alpha$

$K_a = \frac{c\alpha \times c\alpha}{c-c\alpha}$

$\alpha$ is very small so $1-\alpha$ can be neglected

and equation is;

$K_a = {c\alpha \times \alpha}$

$[H^{+}] = c\alpha$ = $\frac{K_a}{\alpha}$

$P_H =- log[H^{+} ]$

$P_H =-logK_a + log\alpha$

$K_a =1.38\times10^{-4}$

$\alpha = \frac{1}{10}$

$P_H= 3.86-1$

$P_H =2.86$

composiion ;

$c=\frac{1}{\alpha} \times [H^{+}]$

$[H^{+}] =antilog(-P_H)$

$[H^{+} ] =0.0014$

$c=0.0014\times \frac{1}{10}$

$c=1.4\times 10^{-4}$

Explain how metallic bonding causes metals to conduct electricity?

astra-53 [7]

In a metallic bond, atoms of the metal are surrounded by a constantly moving "sea of electrons". This moving sea of electrons enables the metal to conduct electricity and move freely among the ions.
