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.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the amount of time it takes for a quantity of that isotope to decay to one half of its
Sedaia [141]

Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.

a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:

t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{ln 2}{k}

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{0.693}{k}

Where k is the decay constant

b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:

Decay constant (k) = \frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

k = \frac{0.693}{5230 years}

k = 1.325 * 10^{-4} yr^{-1}

c) Finding the age of the sample :

35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.

The first order rate equation is,

[A] = [A_{0}]e^{-kt}

\frac{[A]}{[A_{0}]} = e^{-kt}

\frac{35}{100} = e^{-(1.325 *10^{-4})t}

ln(0.35) = -(1.325 *10^{-4})(t)

t = 7923 years

Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.
