Concept Introduction:
Thus,
Increasing the height of the energy barrier decreases the magnitude of the rate constant, thus causes the reaction to be slower.
The rate of the
Steric hindrance decreases the rate of the reaction by increasing the energy of the transition state.
Higher the height of the energy barrier lowers the rate constant.
(b)
Interpretation:
Rate of the reaction of methyl iodide with quinuclidine and methyl iodide with trimethylamine is measured in nitrobenzene, based on it answer the following questions.

Rate of the reaction of methyl iodide with quinuclidine and methyl iodide with trimethylamine is measured in nitrobenzene, based on it answer the following questions.
Concept Introduction:
Thus,
Increasing the height of the energy barrier decreases the magnitude of the rate constant, thus causes the reaction to be slower.
The rate of the SN2 reaction depends not only on the number of alkyl group but also on the size.
Steric hindrance decreases the rate of the reaction by increasing the energy of the transition state.
Higher the height of the energy barrier lowers the rate constant.

- A laser emits a line at 632.8 nm. If the cavity is 12 cm long, how many modes oscillate in the cavity? How long does it take for the radiation to travel the entire cavity? What is the frequency difference between 2 consecutive modes?(refractive index of the medium n = 1).arrow_forwardThe number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate is given by N. The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
