Give an explanation for the order of reactivity observed for the three saturated alkyl halides with ag plus?
Alkyl halides are the most reactive in the third stage of saturation when using silver nitrate as the reactant. However, if water is used as the solvent the silver nitrate will cause the alkyl halide to ionize. If the alkyl halide is in stage 1 or 2, a molecular rearrangement may happen prior to the process being complete; this is not the case with stage 3 saturation.
Is it possible for an alkyl halide to undergo sn1 and also sn2 reactions?
Yes an alkyl halide can undergo both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions - it just depends on what kind of alkyl halide it is. Methyl halides such as CH3Br/CH3Cl/CH3I, etc. are most suitable for Sn2 reactions because they are less sterically hindered by R-groups (they are not "bulky"). This allows for easy attack by the nucleophile. Primary alkyl halides (RCH2X) are also most suitable for Sn2 because of the same reason above Secondary alkyl halides can undergo both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions, this depends on other factors such as solvent and leaving group and nucleophile. If the solvent is polar aprotic, the reaction will go Sn2, if polar protic - Sn1. Tertiary alkyl halides (alkyl halides with 4 r-groups) do not go Sn2 because they are bulky and the R-groups stabilize the carbocation by hyperconjugation and inductive effect.
Why is sodium chloride soluble in water but not in alcohol?
when u put sodium chloride in water it ionizes to Na+ and Cl- which interact in water with OH- and H+ respectively but since alcohol which is ROH (R is for alkyl group) as a solvent is slightly more hydrophobic than water(because of presence of alkyl group) can not do so.
What are other examples of alkyl halide?
an example of Alkyl halides is R-X ( x represents any halogen) C2F4 is Teflon it is an example of Alkyl Halides
What is the chemical formula of alkyl benzene?
it is C6H5-R , R = any alkyl group.
Which is the contaminant soap alkyl benzene sulfonate or linear alkyl sulfonate?
Depending on the desired definition of the word "contaminant" Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate is more likely the answer. Linear Alkyl Sulfonates are far more readily biodegraded than Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate due to their relative chemical structures. Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate can cause issues in waterways such as eutrophication, which in turn can lead to algal blooms.
What is the equation of Swarts reaction?
the synthesis of alkyl fluorides by heating an alkyl chloride or alkyl bromide in the presence of a metallic fluoride like AgF, Hg2F2, CoF2 or SbF2.
What is an alkyl phosphate?
An alkyl phosphate is any ester derived from an aliphatic alcohol and phosphoric acid.
Is Glycerol more soluble in water than Ethanol?
In ethanol a hydrogen bond is formed between the oxygen of ethanol and one H-atom of water. It is also believed that ethanol is associated through internal H-bonding between their molecules and this is encouraged by the +I effect of the alkyl group of the alcohol which transfers the electronegativity towards the H- of -OH group. It is also found that solubility decreases with increase of molecular weight. There are three types of forces which determine the extent of solubility of a solute in a solvent - (1) solute-solute ; (2) solvent-solute and (3) solvent-solvent. If the solute-solvent attractive force is greater than the other two, the solute remains in solution. In ethanol, the force (1) overcomes the force (2) as compared to glycerol where +I effect of alkyl group is absent. Thus, the latter is more soluble in water than the former.
How does an alkyl group differ from its parent alkane?
When one hydrogen is removed from an alkane it forms alkyl group
What is an alkyl nitrite?
An alkyl nitrite is any of a class of inhalant recreational drugs, originally developed for the treatment of angina.
What is the name for the CH3-Ch-CH3 alkyl group?
The name for the CH3-Ch-CH3 alkyl group is isopropyl.
