Chapter 9, Problem 9.62P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation for the given statement that it is not possible to prepare given ether using a Williamson ether synthesis.

Concept introduction: Ethers are the most common organic products of nucleophilic substitution reaction. They are prepared from alkyl halides and strong nucleophiles. The reaction proceeds through SN2 mechanism. The highest yields of products are obtained from methyl (unhindered) and primary alkyl halides. The synthesis of ether by this route is called Williamson ether synthesis.

Another standard reference electrode is the standard calomel electrode: Hg2Cl2(s) (calomel) + 2e2 Hg() +2 Cl(aq) This electrode is usually constructed with saturated KCI to keep the Cl- concentration constant (similar to what we discussed with the Ag-AgCl electrode). Under these conditions the potential of this half-cell is 0.241 V. A measurement was taken by dipping a Cu wire and a saturated calomel electrode into a CuSO4 solution: saturated calomel electrode potentiometer copper wire CuSO4 a) Write the half reaction for the Cu electrode. b) Write the Nernst equation for the Cu electrode, which will include [Cu2+] c) If the voltage on the potentiometer reads 0.068 V, solve for [Cu²+].
