Predict the two most likely mechanisms for the reaction of 1-iodohexane with potassium tert-butoxide.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rudiy273 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C) SN2 and E2

Explanation:

For this question, we have analyzed the <u>substrate</u> and the <u>base/nucleophile</u>. The substrate, in this case, is 1-iodohexane and the base/nucleophile is potassium tert-butoxide.

<u>Substrate</u>

<u />

In the 1-iodohexane the iodide "I" is bonded to a primary carbon (carbon 1). Therefore we will have a <u>primary substrate</u>. If we have a primary substrate an Sn1 can not take place. We can not have a <u>primary carbocation</u> due to this instability. So, we can disccard options A) and B).

<u>Base/nucleophile</u>

<u />

In the potassium tert-butoxide we have an ionic compound. A positive charge is placed in the potassium atom a negative charge is placed in the oxygen of the ter-butoxide ion. So, we will have a <u>strong base</u> (a molecule with the ability to remove electrons) and a <u>strong nucleophile</u> (a molecule with ability to bond with an electrophile). With all this in mind, w<u>e can not have an E1 reaction</u>.

With both analyses, the answer is C).

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

State the oxidation number assigned to each bold element in the formula: NH4+1 a 3 b -3 c -1 d 6
Leya [2.2K]
The fomula is NH4 (1+)


There are only two elements N and H.


As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.


N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.


You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.


In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.


Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.


That implies that 4* (1+)  + x =   1+


=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-


Answer:  the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.

What mass, in grams, of CO2 and H2O<br> is formed from 2.55 mol of propane?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

336.6 grams of CO₂ and 183.6 grams of H₂O are formed from 2.55 moles of propane.

Explanation:

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reactant and product participate in the reaction:

  • C₃H₈: 1 mole
  • O₂: 5 moles
  • CO₂: 3 moles
  • H₂O: 4 moles

Being the molar mass of each compound:

  • C₃H₈: 44 g/mole
  • O₂: 16 g/mole
  • CO₂: 44 g/mole
  • H₂O: 18 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry, the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

  • C₃H₈: 1 mole* 44 g/mole= 44 grams
  • O₂: 5 moles* 16 g/mole= 80 grams
  • CO₂: 3 moles* 44 g/mole= 132 grams
  • H₂O: 4 moles* 18 g/mole= 72 grams

So you can apply the following rules of three:

  • If by stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ forms 132 grams of CO₂, 2.55 moles of C₃H₈ how much mass of CO₂ will it form?

mass of CO_{2} =\frac{2.55 moles of C_{3} H_{8}*132 gramsof CO_{2} }{ 1 mole of C_{3} H_{8}}

mass of CO₂= 336.6 grams

  • If by stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ forms 72 grams of H₂O, 2.55 moles of C₃H₈ how much mass of H₂O will it form?

mass of H_{2}O =\frac{2.55 moles of C_{3} H_{8}*72 gramsof H_{2}O }{ 1 mole of C_{3} H_{8}}

mass of H₂O= 183.6 grams

<u><em>336.6 grams of CO₂ and 183.6 grams of H₂O are formed from 2.55 moles of propane.</em></u>

QUESTION 7
Temka [501]

The student's test average is : 0.92

Total score obtained = 369

Number of tests = 4

Since Each test is exactly 100 points ;

The total score obtainable is (100 × 4) = 400

Average = score obtained / total score obtainable

Average = 369 / 400

Average = 0.9225

Average = 0.92

Consider a mixture of oil and water. What terms would you use to describe this mixture? Check all that apply. Heterogeneous homo
GenaCL600 [577]

A mixture of oil and water is:

Heterogeneous

immiscible

<h3>What type of mixture of oil and water is?</h3>

The water molecules attract each other, and the oil molecules stick together. That causes oil and water to form two separate layers. Water molecules pack closer together, so they sink to the bottom, leaving oil sitting on top of the water. The mixture can be called as Emulsion. It is an immiscible liquid and the mixture is heterogeneous as oil floats on top of water surface but do not mix with it.

Thus, correct options are Heterogeneous and immiscible.

Which of the following combinations of quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) do not represent permissible solutions of the schrodinger
Softa [21]
Option c. 6, -5, -1, 1/2

Because the second quantum number, l, cannot be negative.

The values of l are restricted to the range 0 to n -1, which in this case is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
