because in its normal conformation, Chlorine and hydrogen are in axial position, which is required for E2.

in menthyl chloride energy is required to do a ring flip to get chlorine into axial, and hence reaction is slowe

How does methyl chloride react with aluminum chloride?

Methyl chloride does not react with aluminum chloride under typical conditions. Aluminum chloride is a Lewis acid and can react with certain compounds that donate electron pairs, but methyl chloride does not possess the necessary characteristics to undergo a reaction with aluminum chloride.


If ammonium chloride and sand under goes sublimationwhich solid sublimes?

Ammonium chloride sublimes when heated, transitioning from a solid directly to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. Sand does not undergo sublimation as it does not turn into a gas when heated, but rather melts at high temperatures.


What compound can undergo decomposition to produce barium chloride and oxygen?

Barium chlorate (Ba(ClO3)2) can undergo thermal decomposition to produce barium chloride (BaCl2) and oxygen gas (O2). This reaction typically occurs at high temperatures.


What is the ka value for ammonium chloride?

The Ka value for ammonium chloride is not applicable as it is a salt formed from the reaction between ammonia and hydrochloric acid. Ammonium chloride does not undergo significant dissociation in water to produce H+ ions, so it does not have a Ka value.


Why is benzoyl chloride less reactive than ethanoyl chloride?

Remember that acid chlorides typically undergo nucleophilic substitution in which the partially positively charged carbon is attacked by nucleophile. Due to resonance(delocalization) in benzoyl chloride, the positive charge isn't concentrated in carbonyl C atom unlike in ethanoyl chloride but spreads over o and p positions in benzene ring. So, the carbonyl carbon in benzoyl chloride is less positive, less susceptible to nucleophilic attack and hence, less reactive.

Can sodium chloride undergo combustion?

No, actually sodium chloride can be considered the "ash" of burning metallic sodium in a chlorine gas atmosphere. The ash of combustion will not undergo further combustion.


Why alkyl halides undergo elimination reaction?

Alkyl halides undergo elimination reactions, such as E2 and E1, to form alkenes and hydrogen halides. This occurs in the presence of a base or nucleophile due to the tendency of the halide to leave, resulting in the formation of a double bond. The presence of a strong base favors elimination over substitution reactions.


Will sodium chloride react with potassium chloride?

No, sodium chloride (NaCl) will not react with potassium chloride (KCl) as both are stable ionic compounds and do not undergo chemical reactions between each other.


What compound can undergo decomposition to produce lithium chloride and oxygen?

Lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) can undergo decomposition to produce lithium chloride (LiCl) and oxygen (O2). The decomposition reaction is as follows: 2LiClO4 -> 2LiCl + 3O2.


What compound can undergo decomposition to produce nickel chloride and oxygen?

Nickel(II) chlorate (Ni(ClO3)2) can undergo decomposition to produce nickel chloride (NiCl2) and oxygen gas (O2).

What is one property which is shown by ammonium chloride but not by sodium chloride?

Ammonium chloride can undergo sublimation, meaning it can change from a solid directly to a gas without passing through a liquid state. Sodium chloride does not exhibit sublimation behavior.


What are three substances that can undergo electrolysis?

distilied water, sodium chloride, lead bromide and cooper sulfate.


Does chlorine react with potassium chloride?

No, chlorine does not react with potassium chloride because potassium chloride is already a compound made up of potassium and chlorine ions. It is a stable compound and does not undergo a chemical reaction with elemental chlorine.
