) An organic chemistry lab book gives the following solubility data for oxalic acid 9.5g/100ml water 23.7g/100ml ethanol 16.9g/1

00ml ether (a) A 14CL student has 40 g of oxalic acid in 1000ml of water and wishes to extracted into an organic solvent for further experiments. Which solvent should the student use for the extraction

Answer:

Ethanol

Explanation:

Solvent extraction is the process in which a compound transfers from one solvent to another owing to the difference in solubility or distribution coefficient between these two solvents(Science Direct).

We have to remember that oxalic acid will be extracted better into a solvent in which it is more soluble. From the data given; oxalic acid is more soluble in ethanol than in ether.

This simply means that ethanol is a better solvent for extracting oxalic acid  from water when compared to ether.

When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.
