Can all alkyl halides react with water to give alcohols?​

Chemistry

Margarita [4]3 years ago

Not all acid-catalyzed conversions of alcohols to alkyl halides proceed through the formation of carbocations. Primary alcohols and methanol react to form alkyl halides under acidic conditions by an SN2 mechanism.

Not all acid-catalyzed conversions of alcohols to alkyl halides proceed through the formation of carbocations. Primary alcohols and methanol react to form alkyl halides under acidic conditions by an SN2 mechanism.

In these reactions the function of the acid is to produce a protonated alcohol. The halide ion then displaces a molecule of water (a good leaving group) from carbon; this produces an alkyl halide:

Again, acid is required. Although halide ions (particularly iodide and bromide ions) are strong nucleophiles, they are not strong enough to carry out substitution reactions with alcohols themselves. Direct displacement of the hydroxyl group does not occur because the leaving group would have to be a strongly basic hydroxide ion:

We can see now why the reactions of alcohols with hydrogen halides are acid-promoted.

Carbocation rearrangements are extremely common in organic chemistry reactions are are defined as the movement of a carbocation from an unstable state to a more stable state through the use of various structural reorganizational "shifts" within the molecule. Once the carbocation has shifted over to a different carbon, we can say that there is a structural isomer of the initial molecule. However, this phenomenon is not as simple as it sounds.

Iron is found in Earth's crust as several iron compounds. Calculate the mass in kilograms of the amount of each of the following
notka56 [123]

The mass of hematite that contains 8.0×10³ kg of iron is 2.29 × 10⁴ kg.

<h3>What are iron ores?</h3>

Iron ores refers to minerals in which iron occur in combined form found in the earth's crust.

Some ores of iron include:

  • hematite,
  • magnetite,
  • limonite, and
  • siderite.

Molar mass of hematite, Fe₂O₃ = 160 g/mol

Molar mass iron = 56 g/mol

Percent mass of iron in hematite = 56/160 = 35%

The mass of hematite that contains 8.0×10³ kg of iron = 8.0 × 10³kg/0.35 = 2.29 × 10⁴ kg.

Therefore, the mass of hematite that contains 8.0×10³ kg of iron is 2.29 × 10⁴ kg.

What is the similarity between speed and vilocity
WARRIOR [948]
Speed and velocity both represent a way to measure the change in position of an object relative to time. In fact, for a straight line motion, the speed and velocity of an object are the same (since distance and displacement will be the same). Speed and velocity are measured in the same units: meters per second or m/s.

How much energy is gained when a 10.0g sample of liquid water increases in temperature from 13°C to 18°C?
Ivan

When a 10g sample of liquid water increases in temperature from 13°C to 18°C, then the amount of gained energy is 209 joules.

<h3>How do we calculate gained energy?</h3>

The amount of energy which is gained by any sample will be calculated as:

Q = mcΔT, where

Q = gained energy

m = mass of sample = 10g

c = specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 18 - 13 = 5°C

On putting values we get

Q = (10)(4.18)(5)

Q = 209 Joules

Hence required amount of energy is 209 joules.

After centrifugation of the sample, the student was not careful and some of the solid was transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask al
Tju [1.3M]

The fact that some of the solid was transferred would decrease the mass of the limiting reactant.

<h3>What is the limiting reactant?</h3>

We know that in a chemical reaction, there are at least two substances that are combined in order to give the product of the reaction. We also know that the product that we obtain must be in accordance to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

It is common to see that one of the reactants would be present in a very large amount while the other reactant would be present only in quite a small amount. The reactant that is present in a small amount is said to be the limiting reactant while the one that is present in the large amount is said to be the reactant that is in excess.

Having said this, we know that the mass of the limiting reactant can be obtained from the mass of the solid that is obtained after the reaction.

If we do not take out all of the solid from the centrifuge, the mass would not be accurately weighed and the mass of the limiting reactant would not be accurately determined.
