Basics in Organic Reactions Mechanisms
In organic chemistry, the mechanism of an organic reaction is defined as a complete step-by-step explanation of how a reaction of organic compounds happens. A completely detailed mechanism would relate the first structure of the reactants with the last s…
Heterolytic Bond Breaking
Heterolytic bond breaking is also known as heterolysis or heterolytic fission or ionic fission. It is defined as breaking of a covalent bond between two different atoms in which one atom gains both of the shared pair of electrons. The atom that gains bo…
Polar Aprotic Solvent
Solvents that are chemically polar in nature and are not capable of hydrogen bonding (implying that a hydrogen atom directly linked with an electronegative atom is not found) are referred to as polar aprotic solvents. Some commonly used polar aprotic sol…
Oxygen Nucleophiles
Oxygen being an electron rich species with a lone pair electron, can act as a good nucleophile. Typically, oxygen nucleophiles can be found in these compounds- water, hydroxides and alcohols.
Carbon Nucleophiles
We are aware that carbon belongs to group IV and hence does not possess any lone pair of electrons. Implying that neutral carbon is not a nucleophile then how is carbon going to be nucleophilic? The answer to this is that when a carbon atom is attached t…

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The atom in the given pair that has the higher priority is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

When assigning priorities to substituents, the atom having the greater atomic number has the higher priority. In case of comparison between isotopes, the one having the greater atomic mass gets the higher priority.

Answer to Problem C.1P

F has the higher priority.

Explanation of Solution

The given pair of atoms is: F and O.

The atomic number of fluorine is 9 while that of oxygen is 8.

Thus, fluorine has a greater atomic number than oxygen. Hence, F gets the higher priority in this pair.

Conclusion

Fluorine has a greater atomic number than oxygen, and hence, it gets a higher priority.

Answer to Problem C.1P

P has the higher priority.

Explanation of Solution

The given pair of atoms is: P and F.

The atomic number of phosphorus is 15 while that of fluorine is 9.

Thus, phosphorus has a greater atomic number than fluorine. Hence, P gets the higher priority in this pair.

Conclusion

Phosphorus has a greater atomic number than fluorine, and hence, it gets a higher priority.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Answer to Problem C.1P

13C has the higher priority.

Explanation of Solution

The given pair of atoms is: 13C and 12C.

13C and 12C are isotopes and have the same atomic number. In this case, 13C has a greater atomic mass, and hence, it has a higher priority than 12C.

Conclusion

13C has a greater atomic mass than 12C, and hence, it gets a higher priority.

Using a cell of known pathlength b = 1.25115 x 10-3 cm, a water absorption spectrum was measured. The band at 1645 cm-1, assigned to the O-H bending, showed an absorbance, A, of 1.40. a) Assuming that water density is 1.00 g/mL, calculate the water molar concentration c (hint: M= mole/L) b) Calculate the molar absorptivity, a, of the 1645 cm-1 band c) The transmitted light, I, can be written as I= Ioexp(-xb), where x is the absorption coefficient (sometimes designated as alpha), Io is the input light, and b is the cell pathlength. Prove that x= (ln10)*x*c d) Calculate x for the 1645 cm-1 band
