(a)
Interpretation: The iodide ion should be characterized as being either nucleophilic or electrophilic.
Concept introduction: The fundamental electrostatics suggests that electrons have more affinity for electron-deficient sites in an organic compound. or positive charge. The curved arrow is appropriate mechanism to depict electron movement that occurs from electron rich species to electron deficient species.
The nucleophile is species with unshared lone pair or negative charge that makes it to seek out positive center with a reaction. Likewise, electrophile seeks for electron rich center as it is positively charged center of substrate.
(b)
Interpretation: The hydrogen ion should be characterized as being either nucleophilic or electrophilic.

- Determine the pH of solution of HC3H5O2 By constructing an ICE table writing the equilibrium constant expression, and using this information to determine the pH. The Ka of HC3H5O2 is 1.3 x 10-5arrow_forwardDetermine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR.
