Yes, electrophilic addition is always two step. For SN2, its basically substitution. The two reactants are usually a reaction between a hydrocarbon with substituent attached to one of its carbon (for example Bromine) and another molecule (example OH). So what it means by substitution is the substitu...

I think this depends on the question and usually the question will specify whether we should draw the transition states or not. But in most cases like the ones in the practice finals, when we are asked to draw the mechanisms, drawing transition states are mandatory ( and is stated in the question )

I'm guessing the arrows you meant by pointing from hydrogen to chlorine are bromine is most probably from the bonds, and not from the hydrogen atom itself. If it is from the bond, then one explanation is because bonds contain electrons and therefore can be considered a source of electron or electron...

Yes, neo is used for 5 carbons and more only

Yes, E means that the atoms or atom groups are on opposite sides of the double bond. In this question, Br and CH2CH3 are opposite of each other, which is why it's E. We compare Br and Ch3Ch2 instead of Ch2Ch2Ch3 because Br gets more priority than the Ch2Ch2Ch3 atom groups.

I think usually the question will specify if they want lewis structure or line structure. If the question did not specify, I think we are free to draw either type of structures. Like in page 22 of the organic chemistry book, when the question is "draw the cycloalkane" we can draw either th...

With #,# do you mean something like 2,3 dimethyl octane? If yes, then I think the numbers are to indicate which carbon the methyl is placed on. So if its 2,3 it means that on the second and third carbon, there is a methyl branch

I think what the solution manual's trying to do is to find the concentration of A after 3 minutes. To do so, we need to use the data that is given. The question gave the concentration of B after 3 minutes and we know that initially, the concentration of B is none since the product has not formed yet...

This exercise is similar to example 15.2 on page 621-622. So in determining the reaction order in B, try to look at experiment 1 and experiment 3. From the two experiments, the concentration of B is increased by: \frac{3.02}{1.25} = 2.416 the rate (of the overall equation) changed by : \frac{50.8}{8...

From the equation you write, yes I could identify the reduction and oxidation!! But could you explain how you can come up with that equation? Thankyou!

Hi! I am a bit confused with this question: When iodide ions react with iodate ions in basic aqueous solution, triiodide ions, I 3 - , are formed. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction. (Note that the same product is obtained in each half-reaction.) I got the equation like this: I - (aq&...

Hi! steam cause severe burns because as steam touches our skin, It needs to change first from vapor to liquid. After changing from the liquid, its temperature then needs to change from 100 degrees (because steam is water vapor and it is at least at 100 degrees as water boils at 100 degrees) to that ...

I think that might happen because when the temperature is increased, the system is given more heat too as heat increases the temperature. therefore as T increases, q actually also increases. And the increase in q is usually greater than that of T which is why in actuality when a system is heated ent...

For this question, I think you should use the specific heat capacity of liquid water instead of ice. Because this change is from water at 0 degree to 20 degrees. Therefore this process is made up of 2 sub-process. One is from the melting of ice water to liquid water at 0 degrees. Then followed by th...

Yes! I agree, I think if no specific instruction is given, it would be best to convert it to atmosphere. For the conversions, I think all would be given to us. Try checking page 125 of the course reader, there are lists of constants and formulas that I think would be given to us.

Most of the elements in the periodic table are in the solid state. I think it is easiest to remember those that are not. So I think you can just try to know that bromine and mercury are liquids. And noble gasses, hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, fluorine, and nitrogen are gas. And the rest are solid. Hop...
