Answer:
<u><em>Hydroxylation
</em></u>
Explanation:
Hydroxylation is a chemical process that introduces a hydroxyl group (-OH) into an organic compound. In biochemistry, hydroxylation reactions are often facilitated by enzymes called hydroxylases. Hydroxylation is the first step in the oxidative degradation of organic compounds in air.
Answer:
C) SN2 and E2
Explanation:
For this question, we have analyzed the <u>substrate</u> and the <u>base/nucleophile</u>. The substrate, in this case, is 1-iodohexane and the base/nucleophile is potassium tert-butoxide.
<u>Substrate</u>
<u />
In the 1-iodohexane the iodide "I" is bonded to a primary carbon (carbon 1). Therefore we will have a <u>primary substrate</u>. If we have a primary substrate an Sn1 can not take place. We can not have a <u>primary carbocation</u> due to this instability. So, we can disccard options A) and B).
<u>Base/nucleophile</u>
<u />
In the potassium tert-butoxide we have an ionic compound. A positive charge is placed in the potassium atom a negative charge is placed in the oxygen of the ter-butoxide ion. So, we will have a <u>strong base</u> (a molecule with the ability to remove electrons) and a <u>strong nucleophile</u> (a molecule with ability to bond with an electrophile). With all this in mind, w<u>e can not have an E1 reaction</u>.
With both analyses, the answer is C).
See figure 1
I hope it helps!
Answer: Activation energy
Explanation:
In a chemical reaction, the reactants contains particles which must collide in order for a reaction to occur. The rate of reaction depends on the frequency of effective collision between the reacting particles. Effective collision are those that result in reactions, which when they occur the colliding particles become activated with increased kinetic energy.
This energy must exceed a particular energy barrier for a particular reaction if the reaction must take place. This energy barrier that must be overcome before a reaction takes place is known as the ACTIVATION ENERGY.
To explain further, when two particles or molecules A and B come in contact with each other, for a reaction to take place, they must collide with a sufficient force to break the bond that exists between them. The minimum combined kinetic energy these reactant particles must possess in order for their collision to result in a reaction is called the activation energy.
Answer:
From the numerical steps highlighted under explanation, the average atomic mass of bromine is 79.91 u
Explanation:
The steps to be taken will involve;
1) Find the number of isotopes of bromine.
2) Identify the atomic mass and relative abundance of each of the isotopes.
3) Multiply the atomic mass of each of the isotopes by their corresponding values relative abundance value.
4) Add the value in step 3 above to get the average atomic mass of bromine.
Now;
Bromine has 2 isotopes namely;
Isotope 1: Atomic mass = 78.92amu and a relative abundance of 50.69%.
Isotope 2: Atomic mass = 80.92amu and a relative abundance of 49.31%.
Using step 3 above, we have;
(78.92 × 50.69%)
And (80.92 × 49.31%)
Using step 4 above, we have;
(78.92 × 50.69%) + (80.92 × 49.31%) ≈ 79.91 u
I am pretty sure it is Vitamin A... but I could be wrong. Sorry if it is wrong.
