Answer:

(a) Formation of the carbocation is the rate-determining step (RDS)

(c) Reactions at chiral carbons proceed with inversion of stereochemistry

Explanation:

SN1 reactions arenucleophilic substitution reactions in which the rate determining step is unimolecular.

The formation of a carbocation is the rate determining step. This depends on the electrophilicity of the leaving group. Thus the SN1 reaction mechanisms is dependent on the electrophile and not the nucleophile.

Polar and acidic solvents which can assist in the formation of the carbocation speeds up the rate determining step.

If the formation of carbocation occurs at a chiral center, both retention and inversion of stereochemistry are likely to occur.

Therefore, the correct options are A and C.

Match each term to its description. (3 points)
madreJ [45]

Answer:   Limiting reactant = 3  

                Theoretical Yield= 1

                  Excess reactant=2

Explanation:  The theoretical yield is the maximum possible mass of a product that can be made in a chemical reaction. It can be calculated from: the balanced chemical equation. the mass and relative formula mass of the limiting reactant , and. the relative formula mass of the product.

An excess reactant is a reactant present in an amount in excess of that required to combine with all of the limiting reactant. It follows that an excess reactant is one remaining in the reaction mixture once all the limiting reactant is consumed.

The limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely used up in a reaction, and thus determines when the reaction stops. From the reaction stoichiometry, the exact amount of reactant needed to react with another element can be calculated

Write ionic equations for the following:<br> HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H2O(l)
vodomira [7]

Answer:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ===> H2O(l) + KCl(aq)

Note the stoichiometry of the balanced equations shows us that HCl and KOH react in a 1:1 mole ratio. So, let us find moles of HCl and moles of KOH that are present:

moles HCl = 250.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml x 0.25 mol/L = 0.06250 moles HCl

moles KOH = 200.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml x 0.40 mol/L = 0.0800 moles KOH

You can see that there are more moles of KOH than there are of HCl, meaning that KOH is in excess and after neutralizing all of the HCl, the solution will be left with excess KOH making the pH > 7 = BASIC
