Q36 why is it C
Q why won't K2So4 cause excess growth? haven't we studied in Olevels that nitrogen phosphorus & potassium are the key elements in any fertiliser & are needed for growth :s

Help please!!!!!
When an isomer Y of molecular formula C4H9Br undergoes hydrolysis in aq. alkali to form an alcohol C4H9OH, the rate of reaction is found to be unaffected by changes in concentration of the OH- ions present. Which is the most likely molecular structure of Y?

A CH3CH2CH2CH2Br
B CH3CH2CHBrCH3
C (CH3)2CHCH2Br
D (CH3)3CBr

The Ans is D......

It is D because tertiary alkyl halides undergo reactions with SN-1 mechanism. This mechanism is independent of the concentration of reactants :)

N forms 2 bond pairs and 1 lone pairs here right??
Then why 120degrees? wouldn't it be A?

Propanone doesnt have H-bonding... It can not be mixed properly with propanal
The question says that the statements are all true
but just asks which ones are associated with H-bonding
So doesn't the mixing depend on H-bonding?

How is 2 correct? Why are they both metals?
And why is 3 wrong? They both form +2 so can they not be in the same group?

I know why only 2 and 3 are correct but i want to know where will the Ca join on?
Like Na joins the COO- , where will Ca join since it requires -2 charge to join??
