Answer:
Explanation:
Considering the reaction: 2X + 3Y = 3Z, combining 2.00 moles of X with 2.00 moles of Y results in the production of 1.75 moles of Z.
2 mol 2 mol 1.75 mol
2X + 3Y = 3Z
2 mol is required with 3 mol to yield 3 mol.
3 mol Z / 3 mol Y = 1 to 1
should yield 2 mol Z
1.75 / 2 = 87.5 % production yield
I believe this question has five choices available:
>an SN2 process has happened with reversal of configuration
>racemization followed by an S N 2 reaction
>an SN1 process has occurred resulting in reversal of configuration
>an SN1 reaction has taken place due to the formation of a carbocation
>an SN1 event followed by an S N 2 “backside” attack
The correct choice is:
an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation
