Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason behind the removal of the stopper from a separatory funnel when liquid is being drained from it should be explained.

Concept introduction:

For daily laboratory liquid-liquid extraction, a separatory funnel is used. Two immiscible solvents can be readily separated by using the extraction technique.

Generally, one of the phases is organic, while the other is aqueous. The mixture of solvents that need to be extracted is poured from the top while stopcock at the bottom is still attached. Funnel is closed using a stopper,and two of the solvents are shaken together. Afterward funnel is inverted. The stopper is removed, and after the separation of layers, liquids are taken out in separate glassware.

The reaction of what nucleophile and substrate is represented by the following transition state? CH3 CH3O -Br อ δ CH3 Methanol with 2-bromopropane Methanol with 1-bromopropane Methoxide with 1-bromopropane Methoxide with 2-bromopropane
What is the stepwise mechanism for this reaction?
32. Consider a two-state system in which the low energy level is 300 J mol 1 and the higher energy level is 800 J mol 1, and the temperature is 300 K. Find the population of each level. Hint: Pay attention to your units. A. What is the partition function for this system? B. What are the populations of each level? Now instead, consider a system with energy levels of 0 J mol C. Now what is the partition function? D. And what are the populations of the two levels? E. Finally, repeat the second calculation at 500 K. and 500 J mol 1 at 300 K. F. What do you notice about the populations as you increase the temperature? At what temperature would you expect the states to have equal populations?
