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.

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with
grandymaker [24]

\text{Hg} \text{O} and \text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})
  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})

First compound:

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g

n = m/M; 0.6498 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a 1:1 ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be \text{Hg} \text{O} where the subscript "1" is omitted.

Similarly, for the second compound

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.016 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.4172 - 0.016 = 0.4012  \; g

n = m/M; 0.4172 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.016 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.001 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.4012 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.002 \; mol

n(\text{Hg}) : n(\text{O}) \approx  2:1 and therefore the empirical formula

\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.
