Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The first step in this reaction is a unimolecular reaction. It involves the formation of the carbocation. This is so because tertiary alkyl halides only undergo substitution by SN1 mechanism due to sterric crowding.

The second step in the reaction is bi molecular. In this step, the carbocation now combines with the OH^- to yield the alcohol.

Net equation of the reaction is;

(CH3)3CBr + OH^- -------> (CH3)3COH + Br^-

The intermediate here is the carbocation,  (CH3)3C^+

Explain how carbon’s bonding ability makes it unique.
STatiana [176]

\huge\fcolorbox{red}{pink}{Answer ♥}

The carbon atom is unique among elements in its tendency to form extensive networks of covalent bonds not only with other elements but also with itself. ... Moreover, of all the elements in the second row, carbon has the maximum number of outer shell electrons (four) capable of forming covalent bonds.

If two gases A and B are at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of their effusion rates is
Fed [463]

If the gases are at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of their effusion rates is directly proportional to the ratio of the square roots of their molar masses:

<h3>Graham's law of diffusion </h3>

This states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass i.e

R ∝ 1/ √M

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

Where

  • R₁ and R₂ are the rates of the two gas
  • M₁ and M₂ are the molar masses of the two gas

From the Graham's law equation, we can see that the ratio of the rates of effusion of the two gases is directly proportional to the square root of their molar masses
