Answer:

The answer to the questions are as follows

Reaction B is 4426.28 times faster than reaction A

(b) Reaction B is faster.

Explanation:

To solve the question we are meant to compare both reactions to see which one is faster

The values of the given activation energies are as follows

For A

Ea = 95.00 kJ mol–1 (22.71 kcal mol–1) and

for  B

Ea = 74.20 kJ mol–1 (17.73 kcal mol–1)

T is the same for both reactions and is equal to 298 k

Concentration of both reaction = 1M

The Arrhenius Law is given by

k = Ae^{\frac{-E_{a} }{RT} }

Where

k = rate constant

Ea = activation energy

R = universal gas constant

T = temperature  (Kelvin )

A = Arrhenius factor

Therefore

For reaction A, the rate constant k₁ is given by k₁ = Ae^{\frac{-95000}{(8.314)(298)} }

And for B the rate constant k₂ is given by k₂ = Ae^{\frac{-74200 }{(8.314)(298)} }

k₁ = A×2.225×10⁻¹⁷

k₂ = A×9.850×10⁻¹⁴

As seen from the above Reaction B is faster than reaction A by (A×9.850×10⁻¹⁴)/(A×2.225×10⁻¹⁷) or 4426.28 times

When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.

It is the Starch-glucose. Glucose is a solitary sugar particle that your body can retain specifically in the digestive system. Sucrose and starches are starches shaped by at least two sugars reinforced together. The sugars in sucrose and starch must be separated into glucose particles in the gastrointestinal tract before your digestive organs can assimilate them.
