Answer:
(2R,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane
and
(2S,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane
Explanation:
For this case, we will have
as nucleophile. Also, this compound is also in excess. So, we will have as solvent
a protic solvent. Therefore the Sn1 reaction would be favored.
The first step would be the carbocation formation followed by the attack of the nucleophile. In this case both isomers would be produced: R and S (see figure).
Answer:
Random particle motion in liquids and gases is a difficult concept for in temperature, the particles move faster as they gain kinetic energy.
Explanation:
Answer:
Chemical energy
Explanation:
An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element.
A chemical bond held together with atoms, ions, or molecules that leads to the formation of chemical compounds. A chemical bond may be covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. Among these chemical bonds, an ionic bond is the strongest chemical bond.
Chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds between atoms.
Answer: E. It decreases the value of Eact.
Explanation:
Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.
A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and more molecules convert to products.
The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.
I divided the volume by a 1000 because it must be in litres, but it wont make any difference because they will cancel out, but you must always convert it to L or dm3 unless it says in the question something else.
