Halogens are good leaving groups in substitution reactions because leaving group ability is directly related to their being:____

_____
a. weak bases
b. strong bases
c. strong acids
d. electrophiles

Answer:

weak bases

Explanation:

Leaving groups accept electron pairs. A strong base donates an electron pair while a weak base accepts an electron pair.

Since good leaving groups must readily accept electrons, weak bases are very good leaving groups.

The order of usefulness of halogens as leaving groups is: I > Br > Cl > F

The radioactive isotope of lead, Pb-209, decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t and has a half-life of 3.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

Explanation:

The differential equation for decay is

$\frac{dA}{dt}= kA$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dA}{A}=kdt$

Integrating both sides

ln A= kt+c₁

$\Rightarrow A= e^{kt+c_1}$

$\Rightarrow A=Ce^{kt}$ [ $e^{c_1}=C$ ]

The initial condition is A(0)= A₀,

$\therefore A_0=Ce^{0.k}$

$\Rightarrow C=A_0$

$\therefore A=A_0e^{kt}$ .........(1)

Given that the $Pb_{209}$ has half life of 3.3 hours.

For half life $A=\frac12 A_0$ putting this in equation (1)

$\frac12A_0=A_0e^{k\times3.3}$

$\Rightarrow ln(\frac12)= 3.3k$ [taking ln both sides, $ln \ e^a=a$ ]

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{ln \frac12}{3.3}$

⇒k= - 0.21

Now A₀= 1 gram, 80%=0.8

and A= (1-0.8)A₀ = (0.2×1) gram = 0.2 gram

Now putting the value of k,A and A₀in the equation (1)

$\therefore 0.2=1e^{(-0.21)\times t}$

$\Rightarrow e^{-0.21t}=0.2$

$\Rightarrow -0.21t= ln(0. 2)$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac{ln (0.2)}{-0.21}$

⇒ t≈7.66

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

A major textile dye manufacturer developed new yellow dye. The dye has a percent composition of 75.9 5% C, 17.72% N

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Such molecule must have molecular formula of C15N3H15

Explanation:

Mass of carbon in such molecule

$0.7595*240_{g/mol} =182.28_{g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 g/mol, so in 182.28 g of carbon there is 15.18 mols of carbon.

Mass of Nitrogen in such molecule

$0.1772*240_{g/mol} =37.73_{g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol, so in 42.53g of nitrogen there is 3.04 mols of nitrogen.

Mass of Hydrogen in such molecule

$0.0633*240_{g/mol} =15.19 {g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1.00 g/mol, so in 15.19 g of Hydrogen there is 15.19 mols of Hydrogen.

Such molecule must have molecular formula of C15N3H15
