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.
Hydrogen bonds are a strong attractive force, since they are less stronger than ionic bonds.
Answer:
Enzyme.
Explanation:
Enzymes act as a catalyst in all reaction but remain unchanged by the process.
Reduction half reaction: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu⁰(s).
Oxidation half reaction: NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Balanced chemical reaction:
Cu²⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → Cu(s) + NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq).
Copper is reduced from oxidation number +2 (Cu²⁺) to oxidation number 0 (Cu) and nitrogen is oxidized from oxidation number +3 (in NO₂⁻) to oxidation number +5 (in NO₃⁻).
