Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously. 

Example:
                        OH⁻  +  CH₃-Br     →     CH₃-OH  +  Br⁻

In above reaction,

                   OH⁻  = Incoming Nucleophile

                   CH₃-Br  =  Substrate

                   CH₃-OH  =  Product

                   Br⁻  =  Leaving group

Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.

The sugar substitute aspartame is composed of two ________ acids. question 1 options:
VMariaS [17]
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is added to food and beverages as a substitute to table sugar or sucrose. It is apparently 200 times sweet than sucrose. It is also more preferable especially in the food industry because its sweetness lasts longer than sucrose does. Aspartame is a methyl ester from two acidic amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. It also constitute a small portion of methanol. The composition is 40% aspartic acid, 50% phenylalanine and 10% methanol. This compound was accidentally discovered by James Schlatter when he was trying to test an anti-ulcer drug.

Some compounds are better known by their common names than by their systematic chemical names. Give the chemical formulas of the
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

(a) Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide and its chemical formula is solid CO_{2}.

(b) Sodium chloride is commonly known as salt in daily life. Hence, chemical formula of salt is NaCl.

(c) Laughing gas is also known as dinitrogen monoxide. Hence, its chemical formula is N_{2}O.

(d) Marble (chalk limestone) is chemically known as calcium carbonate. Hence, its chemical formula is CaCO_{3}.

(e) Baking soda is chemically known as sodium bicarbonate. Hence, its chemical formula is NaHCO_{3}.

(f) Ammonia has a chemical formula as NH_{3}.

(g) Water has a chemical formula as H_{2}O.

(h) Milk of magnesia is a base and it is chemically known as magnesium hydroxide. Its chemical formula is Mg(OH)_{2}.

(i) Epsom salt is most often found as heptahydrate of sulfate mineral epsomite. Its chemical formula is usually MgSO_{4}.7H_{2}O. If not present as a heptahydrate then its chemical formula is MgSO_{4}.(H_{2}O)_{x}where, value of x can be equal to 0 to 7.

A) Use bond enthalpies to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction of hydrogen with ethene.
garri49 [273]

Answer:

(a) -134 kJ         (b) -136 kJ

Explanation:

a) Using the accounting of the  enthalpy  of broken and formed  bonds we will have the answer for this question ( remember the enthalpy of bonds broken are positive and those formed are negative)

ΔHrxn(kJ) = 6H (C-H) + 1 (C-C)+ 1H (H) + 1(C=C) + 4(C-H)

= 6(-411) +(-346) +432 + 602 + 4(411)

= - 134 kJ

(b) ΔHrxn = ΔHºf(C2H6) - ΔHºf (C2H4) = -83.75 kJ- 52.3 kJ =  -136 kJ

( ΔHºf (H2)) = 0)

1. Determine the INTRAmolecular force for the following compounds: (nonpolar covalent, polar covalent ionic) CH4 ,CF4,CO2, NH3,N
natta225 [31]

Explanation:

What you need to know.

hope it's helpful

A polar bond is when atoms have unequal attractions for electrons and so the sharing is unequal.

Electromagnetivity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons when atoms are in a compound.

To determine the electromagnetivity of an atom:

< 0.5 - Non-Polar

0.5 - 1.7 - Polar

Therefore, unequal sharing results in either a hydrogen or dipole bond.

Hydrogen bonding is just a special case of dipole-dipole interactions as hydrogen is partially positive in the molecule. When covalently bonded to a highly electronegative element, the hydrogen atom becomes so highly partial positive while the other so partial negative that a higher amount of interaction is obtain.However, keep in mind that hydrogen bonding can ONLY occur when hydrogen is covalently bonded to fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen.

A dipole-dipole interaction occurs between opposite partial charges in polar molecules. These attractions are generally weaker than hydrogen bonding.

London dispersion forces occurs in all bonds, as it's a temperorary attraction force when electrons in an atom occupy positions that form temporary dipoles. It's notable particularly in noble gases and it's the weakest of the intermolecular forces.
