Answer:

Explanation:

In this reaction, the ether is cleaved by SN2 , as I⁻ is a strong nucleophile

So we have the following steps

  • SN2
  1. Protonation of oxygen in ether, improving the ability of both sides to be a leaving group as alchohols
  2. I⁻ performs nucleophilic attack on 1st carbon of butyl side, releasing Isopropanol as leaving group and leaving Iodobutane behind

Now, even though butanol can become a leaving group in this reaction, this is unfavourable, as isopropyl group has large steric hindrance which prevents nucleophilic attack on isopropyl side of the ether.

What is the mass of nickel(ii) nitrate (182.71 g/mol) dissolved in 25.0 ml of 0.100 m ni(no3)2 solution?
Studentka2010 [4]
The mass  of  ni(NO3)2  that  dissolved  in  25.0 ml  of 0.100m  ni(NO3)2  solution  is  calculated  as   follows

fin  the  number  of  moles   =  molarity   x  volume in  liters

=25  x0.100/ 1000= 2.5  x10^-3  moles
mass  =  mass  x  molar  mass
= 2.5  x10^-3 moles x  182.71 g/mol  = 0.457  grams

If 8.00 g NH4NO3 is dissolved in 1000 g of water, the water decreases in temperature from 21.00 degrees Celsius to 20.39 degrees
telo118 [61]

Answer:

25.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

There are two heats involved.

heat of solution of NH₄NO₃ + heat from water = 0

q₁  +  q₂  =  0

n  =  moles of NH₄NO₃  =  8.00 g NH₄NO₃  ×  1 mol NH₄NO₃/80.0 g NH₄NO₃          

∴ n =   0.100 mol NH₄NO₃

q₁ = n * ΔHsoln = 0.100 mol * ΔHsoln

m  =  mass of solution  =  1000.0 g + 8.00 g  =  1008.0 g

q₂  =  mcΔT  = 58.0 g  ×  4.184 J°C⁻¹  g⁻¹  × ((20.39-21)°C) = -2570.19 J

q₁  +  q₂  =  0.100 mol  ×ΔHsoln  – 2570.19 J  =  0

ΔHsoln  =  +2570.19 J  /0.100 mol  =  +25702 J/mol  =  +25.7 kJ/mol

Rubbing alcohol contains 615g of isopropanol (C3H7OH) per liter (aqueous solution). Calculate the molality of this solution. Giv
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Solution of isopropanol is 10.25 molal

Explanation:

615 g of isopropanol (C3H7OH) per liter

We gave the information that 615 g of solute (isopropanol) are contained in 1L of water. We need to find out the mass of solvent, so we use density.

Density of water 1g/mL → Density = Mass of water / 1000 mL of water

Notice we converted the L to mL

Mass of water = 1000 g (which is the same to say 1kg)

Molality are the moles of solute in 1kg of solvent, so let's convert the moles of isopropanol  → 615 g . 1mol / 60g = 10.25 moles

Molality (mol/kg) = 10.25 moles / 1kg = 10.25 m

Which part of experimental design is most important to a scientist when replicating an experiment? Having exactly the same data
yarga [219]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below:

Explanation:

Having exactly the same data as the previous experiment I think that having the same data as the previous experiment is extremely important but not the most important, for me is the second most important.

Using the same procedure and variables as the previous experiment For me, this is the most importan thing when a scientist is designing an experiment, because if he or she follow exactly the same procedure and variables, then the results will be very close.

Conducting an experiment similar to the previous experiment  This characteristic is important but not the most important.

Using the same laboratory that was used in the previous experiment It is not important the laboratory, if the procedure and variables are the same, your experiment must give the same results in whatever laboratory.
