In substitution reactions, (CH3)3C-I reacts at the same rate with Br- and Cl- even though Br- is a more reactive nucleophile tha

n Cl-. Why?A. (CH3)3C-Br reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity. B. (CH3)3C-Br reacts by SN2 mechanism and therefore all nucleophiles react at the same rate regardless of their reactivity. C. The t-butyl carbocation is so reactive, the measurable rate of it's reaction with different nucleophiles is imperceptible. D. The t-butyl group sterically hinders nucleophiles, making different nucleophiles appear to react at the same rate.

Answer:

A. (CH3)3C-I reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity.

Explanation:

We must recall that (CH3)3C-I is a tertiary alkyl halide. Tertiary alkyl halides preferentially undergo substitution reaction via SN1 mechanism.

In SN1 mechanism, the rate of reaction depends solely on the concentration of the alkyl halide (unimolecular mechanism) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile. As a result of this, both Br^- and Cl^- react at the same rate.

Blizzard [7]
At STP (standard temperature and pressure conditions), 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L 
This rule is applied to O₂
22.4 L volume occupied by 1 mol
Therefore 83.4 L occupied by - 1/ 22.4 x 83.4 = 3.72 mol
stoichiometry of O₂ to H₂O is 1:2
then the number of moles of water produced - 3.72 mol x 2= 7.44 mol
mass of water produced - 7.44 mol x 18.01 g/mol = 134.1 g
correct answer is D

A scientist discovers a new type of polymer. What must be true about this polymer?
DochEvi [55]

The correct answer is D

a polymer is a substance made up of large molecules with repeating sub units called monomers.

A is incorrect because its a ring structure which means it cannot form the long chain that is exhibited by polymers.

B is incorrect because the double bonds will cause saturation, hence no monomer can bond to another monomer to form the large molecule.

C is incorrect because the large molecule  has repeating sub-units hence only specific types of molecules can be present, and it is usually carbon and hydrogen.

Why do materials interact to light differently?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Refracted (refraction) – the bending of transmitted light as it travels across the boundary of one material into another material in which it's speed is different. Unlike diffraction, this change in direction of light occurs because light is changing its speed in the different substances in it traveling in.
