A student plans a two-step synthesis of 1-ethyl-3-nitrobenzene from benzene. The first step is nitration of benzene to give nitr

obenzene, and the second step is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation using CH3CH2Cl and AlCl3. The plan is flawed because: A : When the alkyl halide interacts with AlCl3, the resulting carbocation can rearrange before it has a chance to react with the aromatic ring. B : Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation. C : The nitro group will direct the incoming alkyl group para position, rather than to the meta position. D : A blocking group is required to achieve this synthesis.

Answer:

Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Explanation:

The benzene ring in itself does not easily undergo electrophilic substitution reaction. Some groups activate or deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reactions.

-NO2 ia a highly deactivating substituent therefore, Friedel-Crafts alkylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.

This reaction scheme is therefore flawed because Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Choose the best statement of the octet rule from those listed below atoms lose 8 electrons to become valent atoms lose 8 electro
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.

The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.

For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.

What is a change in a substance that does not involve the identity of the substance
GenaCL600 [577]

The answer to this would be a physical change. Physical changes are changes that affect the form of a chemical substance, but not the chemical composition itself. Hope this helped!

(( PLEASE HELP QUICK ))Which expression can be used to calculate the ratio of the rate of effusion of gas A to the rate of effus
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The square root of the molar mass of B ÷ the square root of the molar mass of A  

Explanation:

Graham’s Law applies to the effusion of gases:

The rate of effusion (r) of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (M).

r \propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{M}}

If you have two gases A and B, the ratio of their rates of effusion is

\dfrac{r_{\text{A}}}{r_{\text{B}}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{\text{B}}}{M_{\text{A}}}}
