Chapter 7, Problem 7.15P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product for the given E2 step with appropriate curved arrows is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

E2 is the bimolecular elimination step. The step is bimolecular because it involves two reactants – a strong base and the substrate. The strong base reacts with the substrate having the leaving group, and the hydrogen atoms are on adjacent carbons like HCCL or HC=CL. The first curved arrow is drawn from the negatively charged atom of a strong base to the hydrogen adjacent to the leaving group in the substrate. The second curved arrow is drawn from the C-H bond to the region between the adjacent carbon atoms bearing hydrogen and the leaving group. The third curved arrow is drawn representing the detachment of the leaving group to avoid exceeding octet of carbon atom. The main product formed in such a step is alkene (C = C) or alkyne (CC), double bond between two carbon atoms.

What is the pH of a 1.0 L buffer made with 0.300 mol of HF (Ka = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴) and 0.200 mol of NaF to which 0.160 mol of NaOH were added?
Determine 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. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. NaN₃
