Chapter 10, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the enhance rate of substitution at C5 in 2,2 dimethyl hexane is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The breaking of a covalent bond in a way that each atom takes one electron from the shared pair is called homolytic fission.

Homolytic fission results in the formation of a radical, and the order of stability of the radical is as follows:

1o<2o<3o

Free radical halogenation is a reaction that substitutes a chlorine for a hydrogen on an alkane. This reaction is a photochemical one. That is, it occurs only when performed in the presence of uv light

Free radical reactions are described in three steps: initiation steps, propagation steps, and termination steps

: ☐ + Draw the Fischer projection of the most common naturally-occurring form of aspartate, with the acid group at the top and the side chain at the bottom. Important: be sure your structure shows the molecule as it would exist at physiological pH. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. ✓
For a silver-silver chloride electrode, the following potentials are observed: E°cell = 0.222 V and E(saturated KCl) = 0.197 V Use this information to find the [Cl–] (technically it’s the activity of Cl– that’s relevant here, but we’ll just call it “concentration” for simplicity) in saturated KCl.
A concentration cell consists of two Sn/Sn2+ half-cells. The cell has a potential of 0.10 V at 25 °C. What is the ratio of [Sn2+] (i.e., [Sn2+left-half] / [Sn2+right-half])?
