The SN2 reaction requires three qualities: a strong nucleophile‚ a good‚ unhindered leaving group‚ and a polar‚ aprotic solvent. For our reaction‚ we have all three bases covered. The nucleophile is an alkoxide‚ a deprotonated alcohol. Technically‚ because our alcohol is a phenol‚ the conjugate base is called a phenoxide. Phenol itself has a pKa of about 10‚ but our alcohol has more resonance opportunities‚ so the pKa is down around 8. This is sufficiently acidic for use of weak base like K2CO3 for

The lab today was focused on finding the ratio of reactants to products to be either 1 to 1 or 1 to 2. In our case the reactants was Lead (II) Nitrate and Potassium Iodine. These two when mixed together make Lead Iodide and Potassium Nitrate. We also had to try and find if the number of moles of Lead(II) Nitrate was the same as the final number of moles for Lead Iodine after the experiment. Our data for the lab had pinpoint accuracy. Proved by the data table below Trials Volume of Pb(NO3)2 Mol

How reaction rate varies with sodium thiosulphate concentration Background information Sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid are both colourless liquids‚ when the two reactants are reacted together they produce sulphur. The sulphur that is produced from the reaction changes the solution to yellow and cloudy‚ this is a precipitation reaction‚ where a two solutions react and a solid forms in the solution‚ the solid is said to precipitate out. Some reactions will occur quickly such as fireworks

of the many chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms Enzymes are classified into several broad categories‚ such as hydrolytic‚ oxidising‚ and reducing‚ depending on the type of reaction they control. Hydrolytic enzymes accelerate reactions in which a substance is broken down into simpler compounds through reaction with water molecules. Oxidising enzymes‚ known as oxidises‚ accelerate oxidation reactions; reducing enzymes speed up reduction reactions‚ in which oxygen is removed

compare that relative reactivity of Na and k -Sodium and potassium react somewhat similar when reacting with water however they are slightly different. Sodium moves because of the hydrogen coming off of it and has a low melting point while potassium’s reaction is faster and enough heat is produced to set light to the hydrogen coming off of it. Each leaves a pink color hue in the water. Discuss the similarities and differences in the behavior of the metals tested with water relative to their positions

area on the Rate of Reaction? By : 22/10/2013 The effect of changing the surface area on the rate of reaction? Unit Question: Should we speed things up or slow them down? Hypothesis: According to collision theory‚ should the surface area increase the amount of collisions increase increasing the rate of reaction. Therefore‚ my hypothesis is that when the surface area increases the rate of reaction increases

Lab Techniques & Measurements Pre Lab Questions: (4pts) 1. What will you learn after completing the lab? -The experiment will introduce different level of precision and measuring to the appropriate decimal place and will be familiar with measurements and weight. 2. Write the symbols and equation used to make a dilute solution from concentrated or stock solution. - The concentration of substance is described as molarity and this can be expressed as – Molarity

Replacement Reactions (Data and Calculations) Objective: Classify the chemical reaction through observation‚ which each reagent produce when mixed with another reagent. After careful observation‚ be able to prove each observation using the net ionic equation. Background: First‚ a double-replacement reaction is when two cations in different compound switch anions‚ AX + BZ → BY. If either compounds are insoluble a precipitate occurs‚ and if there is no precipitate formed there is no reaction. Also‚
