Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Part 1: reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have two steps. Firstly, chlorine, a good leaving group, leaves the carbon skeleton to form a relatively stable secondary carbocation. This carbocation is then attacked by the hydroxide anion, our nucleophile, to form the final product.
To summarize, this mechanism takes places in two separate steps. The mechanism is attached below.
Part 2: reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have one step. Our nucleophile, hydroxide, attacks the carbon and then chlorine leaves simultaneously without an intermediate carbocation being formed.
The mechanism is attached as well.
(b) The rate determining step is the slow step. Formation of the carbocation has the greatest activation energy, so this is our rate determining step for . For , we only have one step, so the rate determining step is the attack of the nucleophile and the loss of the leaving group.
At the constant temperatures the lighter the gas molecules, the faster the average velocity of the gas molecules.
According to Diagram B, look at the 1600 elevation until you see the descending air line touches it. Then look down at the temperature at the bottom of the graph. It is between 0 degrees to 5 degrees.
The only number that is between that range is 2 degrees C.
