Do you agree or disagree with this proposed mechanism? Explain.
Please do question 4 for the reaction mechanism
Consider a reaction taking place in an aqueous solvent. The transition state for this reaction is capable of interacting more strongly with the aqueous solvent (through low potential energy interactions, including hydrogen-bonding) than with the reactant/ground state. Despite these strong potential energy interactions, the reaction rate is not significantly faster than the same reaction taking place in a non-polar solvent. Why? a)The transition enthalpy is unchanged by the aqueous solvent b)The transition Gibbs energy is reduced in the aqueous solvent c) The transition entropy is significantly negative in the aqueous solvated reaction d) The transition state internal energy is significantly negative in the aqueous solvated reaction d) none of the above
What is the appropriate reaction intermediate or transition state (whichever is applicable) for this reaction? H s H [] **** OCHS ********* H Br O NaOCH3 OCH
