Sn2 is single step reaction, rate of reaction depends on 2 molecules and is given by Primary and Secondary Alkyl Halides... tertiary alkyl halides dont give sn2 as they are bulky.....Can somebody please tell me the difference between Sn1 and Sn2 reactions for Halogenoalkanes?
When you see that the question is asking you to make boromobutane from butanol ... you have to remember that an alcohol needs HBr for this reaction to occur. After that you have to think of an equation/reaction of NaBr that will make HBr ... and NaBr + water will not give you HBr..Why can't NaBr react with the water? I made that mistake at first too. :s
Because they are in their standard states. We only take bond energies for chemical species that are not in their standard states.http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_w11_qp_21.pdf
Qs3d) Why havent we taken the bond energies of Co2 and H2O to calculate the answer?
enthalpy change= enthalpy of products - enthalpy of reactants... always when you have only these two or an enthalpy profile. If you have stuff like enthalpy of reaction or formation to find from enthalpy of combustion or enthalpy of formations... then use a Hess's diagram.can any one explain me when to do product - reactant and when reactant - product in enthalpy change questions
platinum, NOT palladium.....just yesturday i saw this written in a mark schemeand.. how come aluminium chloride is covalent but aluminium fluoride is ionic?
what's the metal used as a catalyst in a vehicle's catalytic converter? (palladium.. platinum..? can't remember)
We had a conversation about it earlier on the thread but I'll explain it again.whats induced dipole-dipole and permanent dipole dipole? please help its bothering me alot.
thanks =]platinum, NOT palladium.....just yesturday i saw this written in a mark scheme
when ur given enthalpy change of formation of reactants and products, then its= product-reactantcan any one explain me when to do product - reactant and when reactant - product in enthalpy change questions
no probthanks =]
Enthalpy change= Enthalpy of reactants - enthalpy of products when bond energies are given to you.enthalpy change= enthalpy of products - enthalpy of reactants... always when you have only these two or an enthalpy profile. If you have stuff like enthalpy of reaction or formation to find from enthalpy of combustion or enthalpy of formations... then use a Hess's diagram.
there's a chem p5 tips thread too.. read that too.people wat to prepare fr while studyng fr p5?? should we jst go thru the syllabus nd solve past papers???
