Chapter 7, Problem 4Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Weight of solute A that would be removed in four successive extractions with 25 mL portions of hexane should be calculated, and the amount of hexane required to remove 98.5 % of A in a single extraction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The distribution coefficient is a parameter that indicates the extent of the solubility of two immiscible components in two different phases.One of the phases is aqueous, while the other is the organic phase.

Mathematically,

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?
