Question
Chapter 11.14, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To write the mechanism for the reaction of an acyl chloride with acetate ion to form an acid anhydride.
Concept introduction:
The reaction of an acyl chloride with acetate ion is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The acetate ion acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acyl chloride. The attack results in the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. Some chloride group attached to the carbonyl carbon acts as a leaving group in the reaction and results in the collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate to form the corresponding anhydride.

They find one will react quickly, one slowly, and one will not react at all. Which is which, and why?
HINT: What is the reaction they're trying to do? Does that mechanism tell you anything about why something would be favored?
NH3 decomposes through an equilibrium reaction between NH3, H2, and N2. Only one of the options is correct:(A). The mechanism of the NH3 decomposition reaction must necessarily involve the collision of two NH3 molecules to induce a rearrangement of the atoms in this molecule.(B). The molecular weight of the NH3 decomposition reaction is 2 since two NH3 molecules must collide.(C). The rate of the NH3 decomposition reaction must be greater than that of NH3 synthesis, since the former requires two molecules to collide and the latter, four.(D). The NH3 decomposition reaction cannot occur in a single step.
