Answer:

Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride

Explanation:

During a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophilie replaces another in a molecule.

This process may occur via an ionic mechanism (SN1) or via a concerted mechanism (SN2).

In either case, the ease of departure of the leaving group is determined by the nature of the C-X bond. The stronger the C-X bond, the worse the leaving group will be in nucleophilic substitution. The order of strength of C-X bond is F>Cl>Br>I.

Hence, iodine displays the weakest C-X bond strength and it is thus, a very good leaving group in nucleophillic substitution while fluorine displays a very high C-X bond strength hence it is a bad leaving group in nucleophilic substitution.

Therefore, the ease of the use of halide ions as leaving groups follows the trend; Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride

Consider the synthesis of ammonia 3 H2+ N2 à 2 NH3 If a student were to react 38.5 g of nitrogen gas, how many moles of ammonia
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

2.75 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Nitrogen = 38.5 g

Moles of ammonia produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical  equation:

N₂ + 3H₂    →     2NH₃

Number of moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 38.5 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.375 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and nitrogen from balance chemical equation.

           N₂            :            NH₃

            1              :             2

           1.375       :           2×1.375 = 2.75 mol

Thus 2.75 moles of ammonia  are produced from 38.5 g of nitrogen.

Setler [38]
The answer is d Thus, the first energy level holds 2 * 1^2 = 2 electrons, while the second holds 2 * 2^2 = 8 electrons. Each orbital. The third energy level can hold up to 18 electrons, meaning that it is not full when it has only electrons.
