When the temperature of a gas within a rigid container decreases, the particles on average move more slowly and do not collide with one another or the container walls as often. It is the the ideal gas law that applies in this situation and states that a decrease in the temperature of a gas also results in a decrease in the pressure. Thus, automobile tyres which have a colder gas in the winter sometimes need additional air to provide suffiicient pressure.
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Part 1:
reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have two steps. Firstly, chlorine, a good leaving group, leaves the carbon skeleton to form a relatively stable secondary carbocation. This carbocation is then attacked by the hydroxide anion, our nucleophile, to form the final product.
To summarize, this mechanism takes places in two separate steps. The mechanism is attached below.
Part 2:
reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have one step. Our nucleophile, hydroxide, attacks the carbon and then chlorine leaves simultaneously without an intermediate carbocation being formed.
The mechanism is attached as well.
(b) The rate determining step is the slow step. Formation of the carbocation has the greatest activation energy, so this is our rate determining step for
. For
, we only have one step, so the rate determining step is the attack of the nucleophile and the loss of the leaving group.
They all have the same number of electrons.
True will end up being the answer
