The substrate is the same in parts a and b, however the mechanism that proceeds is different. Explain how the choice of solvent

(acetone vs. methanol) influences the reaction mechanism between benzyl bromide and a nucleophile.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction of a benzyl bromide with a nucleophile may proceed by SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the nature of the solvent used.

Since SN1 reaction involves the formation of a carbocation, it usually predominates in the presence of a poor nucleophiles and protic solvents. Hence when methanol is used as solvent and a poor nucleophile is used, SN1 mechanism predominates.

However, when acetone which is an aprotic solvent is used in the presence of a good nucleophile, SN2 reaction mechanism predominates.

What do chemists think is the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Molarity.

Explanation:

  • The molarity (M) of a solution is defined as the no. of moles of solute that dissolved in 1.0 liter of the solution.

M = (mass / molar mass) of the solute (1000 / volume of the solution).

<em>So, the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in one liter of a liquid solution is Molarity.</em>

When you take 10 grams of salt, and dissolve it in 25 grams of hot water what is the solubility
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

When salt is mixed with water, the salt dissolves because the covalent bonds of water are stronger than the ionic bonds in the salt molecules. ... Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together.
