Why did you post this again? Because you're lazy and wanted people to not see my post? Once again, ONE QUESTION AT A TIME. We're here to help you with a tough question or work you through it, not do all your homework.
Explanation:
Both conduction and convection are both forms of heat transfer from one place to another.
- In conduction, there must be contact between two bodies for the process to take place but in convection, the matter moves to transfer heat.
- Conduction mostly occurs in solid substances whereas convection occurs mostly in fluids.
- Heat transfer in conduction is quite slow compared to convection which is much faster.
Example of conduction is heating of iron pot when cooking
Example of convection is the refrigerating system.
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.
