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.

Which process is caused by an increase in thermal energy
Over [174]

Answer:

They're different - heat and thermal energy. ... The heat, in turn, speeds up the molecules within the pot and the water. If you place a thermometer in the water, as the water heats up, you can watch the temperature rise. Again, an increase in internal energy will result in an increase in temperature.

What volume, in milliliters, of a 0.997 M KOH solution is needed to neutralize 30.0 mL of 0.0400 M HCl?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

1.2 mL

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated:

HCl + KOH —> KCl + H₂O

From the balanced equation,

Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nₐ) = 1

Mole ratio of base, KOH (n₆) = 1

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the base, KOH needed to neutralize the acid, HCl as follow:

Molarity of base, KOH (M₆) = 0.997 M

Volume of acid, HCl (Vₐ) = 30 mL

Molarity of acid, HCl (Mₐ) = 0.0400 M

Volume of base, KOH (V₆) =?

MₐVₐ / M₆V₆ = nₐ/n₆

0.04 × 30 / 0.997 × V₆ = 1/1

1.2 / 0.997 × V₆ = 1

Cross multiply

0.997 × V₆ = 1.2

Divide both side by 0.997

V₆ = 1.2 / 0.997

V₆ = 1.2 mL

Thus, the volume of the base, KOH needed to neutralize the acid is 1.2 mL.

A naturally occurring oil co-distills with water to produce an oil/water distillate that is 20% oil by weight. If the molecular
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oil = mole fraction of oil x total pressure

mole fraction of oil = mole of oil / mole of water + mole of oil

= mole of oil = mass of oil / molecular weight of oil

= 20 / 100 = .2

mole of water = 80 / 18

= 4.444

mole fraction of oil =  .2 / .2 + 4.444

= .2 / 4.644

Partial pressure of oil = mole fraction of oil x total pressure

= (.2 / 4.644 ) x 760 mm

= 32.73 mm Hg .
