Concentration is the number of moles of solute in a fixed volume of solution
Concentration(c) = number of moles of solute(n) / volume of solution (v)
25.0 mL of water is added to 125 mL of a 0.150 M LiOH solution and solution becomes more diluted.
original solution molarity - 0.150 M
number of moles of LiOH in 1 L - 0.150 mol
number of LiOH moles in 0.125 L - 0.150 mol/ L x 0.125 L = 0.01875 mol
when 25.0 mL is added the number of moles of LiOH will remain constant but volume of the solution increases
new volume - 125 mL + 25 mL = 150 mL
therefore new molarity is
c = 0.01875 mol / 0.150 L = 0.125 M
answer is 0.125 M
Answer:
SN2
Explanation:
The first step of ether cleavage is the protonation of the ether since ROH is a better leaving group than RO-.
The second step of the reaction may proceed by either SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the structure of the ether. Methyl and primary ethers react with HI by SN2 mechanism while tertiary ethers react with HI by SN1 mechanism. Secondary ethers react with HI by a mixture of both mechanisms.
Dipentyl ether is a primary ether hence when treated with HI, the reaction with HI proceeds by SN2 mechanism as explained above.
