Compound A and compound B are constitutional isomers with molecular formula C3H7Cl. When compound A is treated with sodium metho

xide, a substitution reaction predominates. When compound B is treated with sodium methoxide, an elimination rection predominates. Propose structures A and B.

Answer:

Compound A is the primary alkyl halide, and B the secondary alkyl halide, which are represented below.

Explanation:

Constitutional isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but with the difference in their flat structure. For C₃H₇Cl there are two constitutional compounds: a primary alkyl halide, and a secondary alkyl halide. The structures are represented below.

Sodium methodixe is both a stronger nucleophile and a strong base. When acts as a nucleophile, a substitution must occur, and for that, a stronger nucleophile (a compound with a negative partial charge that needs to bond with one with positive partial charge) must leave the molecule. So, chlorine must leave the molecule in substitution. For that, in the primary alkyl halide, it will be easy, because there's no steric hindrance.

When sodium methoxide acts as a base, an elimination occurs, for that, a strong electrophile (a compound with a positive partial charge that needs electrons) must leave the compound, and then a double bond will be formed. Hydrogen is a strong electrophile, so it must leave in the secondary alkyl halide because chlorine will be a steric hindrance to leave in a substitution reaction.

Then, compound A is the primary alkyl halide, and B the secondary alkyl halide, which are represented below.

Write the nuclear equation for the beta decay of Aluminum-25.
Brums [2.3K]

We want to write the nuclear equation for the beta decay of Aluminium-25.

The equation is:

^{25}_{13}Al \implies ^{25}_{14}Si +   ^{0}_{-1}e

First, as you may know, in a beta decay the number of protons is increased by one. Aluminium has 13 of them, so after the decay, we will have 14 protons.

This means that the aluminium will transform into silicon, then the nuclear equation is just:

^{25}_{13}Al \implies ^{25}_{14}Si +   ^{0}_{-1}e

Where the:

^{0}_{-1}e

Is an electron, which is the emitted particle in the beta decay.

60 points! Would it be a chemical reaction if there was a chemical and the same chemical was in another aqueous solution?
blondinia [14]

Hey there!!

since bubble reaction means chemical as you said, then yes its a chemical reactant.


Hope this helped an have a great day

After the reaction between sodium borohydride and the ketone is complete, the reaction mixture is treated with water and H2SO4 t
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The hydrogen can be gotten from the added Acid or water during "workup".

Explanation:

Basically we can say that the reaction describe in this question is a Reduction reaction because of the chemical compound called sodium borohydride. In the reaction described above we can see that there is a Reduction of ketone to alcohol by the compound; sodium borohydride.

For the reduction Reaction to occur the C-O bond must break so as to enable the formation of O-H bond and C-H bond.

So, "the reaction mixture is treated with water and H2SO4 to produce the desired alcohol", thus, the oxygen will definitely pick up the hydrogen from H2SO4 or H2O.
