D. An alkali metal
yeah hope this helps
Answer:
The PH2 becomes attached to the alkyl halide with inversion of configuration
Explanation:
SN2 reaction involves the simultaneous attachment of the nucleophile as the leaving group departs. This leads to an inversion of configuration because the sterochemistry around the carbon bearing the leaving group is reversed. The reaction proceed via a crowded five coordinate transition state. Details are shown in the image attached.
Answer:
There are 8 electrons in the last level. Because of the octet rule.
Answer:
It becomes insoluble again.
Explanation:
The chemical equation showing the reaction between benzoic acid, and sodium hydroxide,NaOH is given below;
C6H5COOH + NaOH ------------------------> C6H5COO^- Na^+ + H2O.
The Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH is insoluble but when it reacted with 1M Sodium hydroxide, NaOH it changes to sodium benzoate, C6H5COO^- Na^+ which is more soluble than the benzoic acid.
C6H5COO^- Na^+ + HCl -------------------> C6H5COOH + NaCl.
When the sodium benzoate, C6H5COO^- Na^+ reacts with 6M HCl, it is converted back to benzoic acid which is insoluble. Hence, precipitation is observed.
