Answer: The correct option is A.
Explanation: In a chemical reaction, reactants react to form a number of products.
For the formation of products, the bonds of the individual reactants must be broken and the bonds of the products must be formed.
For example: Formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Reaction follows:
The Bonds of hydrogen and oxygen molecule are broken and new bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms are formed to give water molecule.
Answer:
A. (CH3)3C-I reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity.
Explanation:
We must recall that (CH3)3C-I is a tertiary alkyl halide. Tertiary alkyl halides preferentially undergo substitution reaction via SN1 mechanism.
In SN1 mechanism, the rate of reaction depends solely on the concentration of the alkyl halide (unimolecular mechanism) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile. As a result of this, both Br^- and Cl^- react at the same rate.
STP stands for standard temperature and pressure. Standard pressure is equivalent to 1 atm, and standard temperature is equivalent to 273.15 K. Therefore, your answer is A. the temperature is 273.15 kelvin.
Hope this helps!
