Compounds X has the formula C7H15Cl; Y is C7H15Br. X undergoes base-promoted E2 elimination to give a single alkene product Z. Y

likewise reacts under similar conditions to give a single alkene product that is isomeric with Z Catalytic hydrogenation of Z affords 3-ethylpentane. X readily reacts in SN2 fashion with sodium iodide in acetone. Y does not undergo a similar SN2 reaction. Propose structures for X and Y.

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Let us examine the statements in the question carefully. First of all, we will discover that the products of the E2 elimination of the both compounds are isomeric. However Y does not undergo SN2 reaction as  X does.

The fact that SN2 reaction does not occur in Y confirms that the bromine atom is attached to a tertiary carbon atom and SN2 reaction does not occur due to steric hinderance. Since X undergoes SN2 reaction in aprotic solvent, the chlorine atom must be attached to a secondary carbon atom.

However, E2 reactions does occur with tertiary alkyl halides when strong bases such as OH^- or RO^- are used.

The question also stated that the catalytic hydrogenation of Z affords 3-ethylpentane.

Putting all these together, the structures of X and Y have been suggested in the image attached to this answer.

17) A 0.20 M solution of HCl with a volume of 15.0 mL is exactly neutralized by the 0.10 M solution of NaOH with what volume? HI
galina1969 [7]

Answer: A 0.20 M solution of HCl with a volume of 15.0 mL is exactly neutralized by the 0.10 M solution of NaOH with 3 mL volume.

Explanation:

Given: M_{1} = 0.20 M,      V_{1} = 15.0 mL

M_{2} = 0.10 M,            V_{2} = ?

Formula used is as follows.

M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}

Substitute the values into above formula s follows.

M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\0.20 M ]times 15.0 mL = 0.10 M ]times V_{2}\\V_{2} = 30 mL

Thus, we can conclude that a 0.20 M solution of HCl with a volume of 15.0 mL is exactly neutralized by the 0.10 M solution of NaOH with 3 mL volume.

7. Given the balanced equation:
Vika [28.1K]
Gas molecules have more freedom in motion—and gases can be thought of as more “disordered”—than molecules of a solid, which are rigidly held in place. When it comes to phases, the entropy increases as you go from a solid to liquid to gas (the gaseous state having the greatest entropy and the solid state having the least).

So, as a sample of solid iodine sublimes to form gaseous iodine, the entropy of the sample increases.
