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.

As a scuba diver descends under water, the pressure increases. At a total air pressure of 2.71 atm and a temperature of 25.0 C,
Semenov [28]

Answer:

1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/Lis the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{N_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}

where,

K_H = Henry's constant = 6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen

p_{N_2}= P\times \chi_{N_2} (Raoult's law)

=2.71 atm\times 0.78=2.1138 atm

C_{N_2}=6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 2.1138 atm

C_{N_2}=1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L

1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/Lis the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.
