Answer:
Ether
SN1 mechanism
Explanation:
The nucleophile in this reaction is CH3OH. It is a poor nucleopile. We already know that a poor nucleophile reacting with a tertiary alkyl halide often leads to the substitution product as the major product.
Also, the iodide ion is a good leaving group. This makes the SN1 substitution more likely yielding the ether as the major product as shown in the image attached.
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
A chemist adds 370.0 mL of a 2.25 M iron(III) bromide solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of iron(III) bromide the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to 3 significant digits
<u>Answer:</u> The mass of iron (III) bromide is 246. grams
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:
We are given:
Molarity of solution = 2.25 M
Molar mass of iron (III) bromide = 295.6 g/mol
Volume of solution = 370.0 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the mass of iron (III) bromide is 246. grams
