Screenshot (1).png Screenshot (2).png Need help with this.
For the first one i know its a reaction pathway of SN1 reaction but why can it not be A or D since they don't have graphs like that i guess

Thermometer to whole number like 50.0 or to .5 like 64.5
MAKE SURE YOU PUT TO ONE DP, and the only decimals are .0 and .5

Burette 0.05 for each reading.

Practice. I don't think it's right to ask this since the admin of Xtremepapers check the forums and ban people for discussing such questions. Good tip: memorize cation and anion rxns or at least learn to identify what the question is asking so you don't have to waste time going through the last sheet.

"Also, study the reaction of kmno4 with glucose from the net. If any reaction equation is available please study equation as well.
Expected practical is organic based. Please study fehlings tollens and iodoform test with equations."
-Got this from a friend...Good luck bois

In 28 A, an intermediate is formed with O- and so the reaction is a 2 step process
Similarly with D, first 1 Br attaches and a carbocation is formed and so it is also a 2 step pathway
