Answer:
Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture
Explanation:
S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.
However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.
There are no states in the picture, but Na should have a "(s)" after it, and Cl2 should have a "(g)" after it. NaCl should have an "(s)". Chlorine is a diatomic element so it has a "2" subscript on it.
Hope this helped! :)
Answer:
The correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.
Explanation:
Hello!
Let's solve this!
When Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen (O), magnesium oxide is formed.
This reaction is spontaneous and occurs with oxidation number +2 of magnesium and oxidation number -2 of oxygen. It is an ionic union, so magnesium transfers its electrons to oxygen.
We conclude that the correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.
