Answer:
Explanation: The coefficients of ,
,
, and
are 2, 1, 1 and 1 respectively.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products must be same as the mass of the reactants in every chemical equation.
In order to do so , the number of atoms of every element must be same on both sides of the equation and thus the chemical equation is balanced.

194.5 g of BCl₃ is present in 1 × 10²⁴ molecules of BCl₃.
Explanation:
In order to convert the given number of molecules of BCl₃ to grams, first we have to convert the molecules to moles.
It is known that 1 moles of any element has 6.022×10²³ molecules.
Then 1 molecule will have moles.
So
Thus, 1.66 moles are included in BCl₃.
Then in order to convert it from moles to grams, we have to multiply it with the molecular mass of the compound.
As it is known as 1 mole contains molecular mass of the compound.
As the molecular mass of BCl₃ will be
Mass of boron is 10.811 g and the mass of chlorine is 35.453 g.
Molar mass of BCl₃ = 10.811+(3×35.453)=117.17 g.
So, 194.5 g of BCl₃ is present in 1 × 10²⁴ molecules of BCl₃.
Answer:The product formed on reaction with hydroxide ion as nucleophile is 2R-hexane-2-ol.
The product formed on reaction with water would be a 50:50 mixture of
2S-hexane-2-ol. and 2R-hexane-2-ol.
Explanation:
2S-iodohexane on reactiong with hydroxide ion would undergo SN² substitution reaction that is substitution bimolecular. Hydroxide ion has a negative charge and hence it is a quite good nucleophile .
The rate of a SN² reaction depends on both the substrate and nucleophile . Here the substrate is a secondary carbon center having Iodine as a leaving group.SN² reaction takes place here as hydroxide ion is a good nucleophile and it can attack the secondary carbon center from the back side leading to the formation of 2R-hexane-2-ol.
In a SN² reaction since the the nucleophile attacks from the back-side so the product formation takes place with the inversion of configuration.
When the same substrate S-2-iodohexane undergoes a substitution reaction with water as a nucleophile then the reaction occurs through (SN¹) substitution nucleophilic unimolecular mechanism .
The rate of a SN¹ reaction depends only on the nature of substrate and is independent of the nature of nucleophile.
The SN¹ reaction is a 2 step reaction , in the first step leaving group leaves leading to the formation of a carbocation and once the carbocation is formed then any weaker nucleophile or even solvent molecules can attack leading the formation of products.
In this case a secondary carbocation would be generated in the first step and then water will attack this carbocation to form the product in the second step.
The product formed on using water as a nucleophile would be a racemic mixture of R and S isomers of hexane -2-ol in 50:50 ratio. The two products formed would be 2R-hexane-2-ol and 2S-hexane-2-ol.
