(a)
Interpretation:
The unbalanced half reactions for the following reaction should be written along with the species which is reduced and oxidized; and oxidizing agent and reducing agent should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The
A half reaction is a component of redox reaction which is either oxidation half reaction or reduction half reaction.
Oxidation is the process in which either loss of electrons, oxidation number increases, or loss of hydrogen atoms takes place. An element is oxidized, when oxidation number increases.
Reduction is the process in which either gain of electrons, oxidation number decreases, or gain of hydrogen atoms takes place. An element is reduced, when oxidation number decreases.
(b)
Interpretation:
The unbalanced half reactions for the following reaction should be written along with the species which is reduced and oxidized; and oxidizing agent and reducing agent should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction process takes place is known as redox reaction. In this reaction, transfer of electrons takes place among the elements.
A half reaction is a component of redox reaction which is either oxidation half reaction or reduction half reaction.
Oxidation is the process in which either loss of electrons, oxidation number increases, or loss of hydrogen atoms takes place. An element is oxidized, when oxidation number increases.
Reduction is the process in which either gain of electrons, oxidation number decreases, or gain of hydrogen atoms takes place. An element is reduced, when oxidation number decreases.

- Please correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardThe SN 1 mechanism starts with the rate-determining step which is the dissociation of the alkyl halide into a carbocation and a halide ion. The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product. Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the reaction, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonzero formal charges.
