You too! :biggrin: (although you don't need it!)


Trust me I do :frown: Haa.
yo guys i got some problem with the yield and pressure..i dont really get the relation between yield ,rate,temperature and pressure..
like one of the questions....mcq number 10 june 09 paper..

a) cause ∆H is negative for the forward reaction increasing temp means equilibrium will shift to the left meaning less yield (products) but the rate will increase cause particles have more energy and can overcome the activation energy

b) Decreasing pressure causes equilibrium to shift to the left cause there are more moles of gas so yield will decrease and rate decreases as decreasing pressure is like decreasing conc so less likely for particles to collide

thanks :biggrin: :biggrin:

Nah, can't sleep. The sandman simply doesn't like me at the moment!

It is a PM exam yes. :smile:
Do not want to do this exam, revising for it is too much for me :cry:

Seriously, chem is my worst subject and I can't wait to drop it after this exam. I'm trying to get a decent grade but I just can't be bothered to revise :frown:

Need to remember all this.....

Reactions of alcohols:
1. Reaction with water

2. Reaction with alkali metals

3. Reaction with alkali solution

4. Reaction with carbonates & hydrogen carbonates

5. Oxidation of alcohols

6. Reaction with dehydrating agents

7. Reaction with halogenating agents
i) reaction with PCl5(s)
ii) reaction with PX3(l) (X=Cl,Br,I)
iii) reaction with moist red phosphorous and liquid bromine
iv) reaction with moist red phosphorous and solid iodine
v) reaction with KBr(s) and conc H2SO4 (l)

8. Reaction with alkali iodine

9. Esterification reaction

10. Combustion

Does anyone have extra questions on Chem Unit 2?

I think the only worse thing we can hope for are apparatuses. They seem to be the only worse thing in most of these papers.

Like everyone's fell asleep already. Good Luck for Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel exam this afternoon. Sleep well, have sweet dream b4 getting into the hell. Oh i mean hall. :colondollar:

Does tertiary alcohol reactions (Sn1) not have a transition state... like the Sn2 reactions??

Correct!

Sn1 requires a carbocation

Sn2 is a straight simultaneous swap, as compounds that rely on sn2 are less stable

Sn2 also requires a carbocation

Sn1
And is also techniqually a swap
You break off the C-Halogen bond for example - Let's say bromine = Forming a carbocation
A :Nu (nucleophile) attacks and attachs onto this carbocation - bromine is a product

And for Sn1 why are they less stable?

Yaay thanks :biggrin:
Instead of transition state... the first step of Tertiary & Secondary Alcohol substitution is the 'rate determining step' instead ?? :smile:
