Answer:

(2R,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

and

(2S,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

Explanation:

For this case, we will have  CH_3CH_2O^- as nucleophile. Also, this compound is also in excess. So, we will have as solvent CH_3CH_2OH a protic solvent. Therefore the Sn1 reaction would be favored.

The first step would be the carbocation formation followed by the attack of the nucleophile. In this case both isomers would be produced: R and S (see figure).

Are these synthesis decomposition single replacement or double replacement?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1. Synthesis

2. Decomposition

3. Single replacement

4. Synthesis

5. Decomposition

6. Synthesis

Explanation:

Kind of a hard picture to look at but let me define each chemical reaction:

Synthesis:

a + b ---> ab   In synthesis elements/compounds come together to form new                compounds

Decomposition:

ab ---> a + b   In decomposition a compound breaks down to form 2 elements/compounds

Single replacement:

a + bc ---> b + ac   In a single replacement one element/compound takes the place of another element/compound.

Double replacement

ab + cd ---> ad + bc In a double replacement 2 compounds exchange different elements/compounds.

Now, let's go through the assignment

1. P + O2 --> P4O10  This is a synthesis reaction because the two elements (P and O) came together to form one compound.

2. HgO ---> Hg + O2  This is a decomposition reaction because HgO broke into separate elements Hg and O.

3. Cl2 + NaBr ---> NaCl + Br2  This is a single replacement reaction because chlorine (Cl) replaced the spot of bromine (Br) to bond with sodium (Na).

4.  Mg + O2 ---> MgO  This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (Mg and O) came together to form one compound.

5. Al2O3 ---> Al + O2  This is a decomposition reactions because Al2O3 broke into separate elements Al and O.

6. H2 + N2 ---> NH3  This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (H and N) came together to form one compound.

Consider the reaction below:
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

(A) first order reaction

Explanation:

A first order reaction is a type of reaction in which the rate of the reaction depends only on the concentration on one of the reactants. Since A is the only reactant we have, it is right to deduce that this reaction is a first order reaction.

Note: while the order of this reaction is 1, its molecularity is 2. The molecularity of a reaction is the number of moles of reactants that is actually reacting.

(B) is wrong

This is because a zero order reaction is one in which the rate of reaction is not influenced by the concentrations of the reactants and hence remains constant irrespective. Since we were not furnished with this idea in the question, it is only right that we reject this answer.

(C) is wrong.

C is outrightly wrong as we have only one reactant.

(D) is wrong

We have only one reactant.

9. When you move your hand from a hot stove what is the stimulus you are reacting to?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

if you touch a hot stove, the nerves in your skin shoot a message of pain to your brain. The brain then sends a message back telling the muscles in your hand to pull away.

Why is a terminal alkyne favored when sodium amide (NaNH2) is used in an elimination reaction with 2,3-dichlorohexane
mihalych1998 [28]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Why is a terminal alkyne favored when sodium amide (NaNH2) is used in an elimination reaction with 2,3-dichlorohexane? product. A) The terminal alkyne is more stable than the internal alkyne and is naturally the favored B) The terminal alkyne is not favored in this reaction. C) The resonance favors the formation of the terminal rather than internal alkyne. D) The strong base deprotonates the terminal alkyne and removes it from the equilibrium.

E) The positions of the Cl atoms induce the net formation of the terminal alkyne.

Answer:

E) The positions of the Cl atoms induce the net formation of the terminal alkyne.

Explanation:

In this reaction, sterric hindrance plays a very important role. We know that sodamide is a strong base, it tends to attack at the most accessible position.

The first deprotonation yields an alkene. The strong base attacks at the terminal position again and yields the terminal alkyne. Thus the structure of the dihalide makes the terminal hydrogen atoms most accessible to the base. Hence the answer.
