oh lord now im scared...could you give example for electrophilic then? thanks so much


Only thing is, you have to remember what happens to some kinds of nucleophillic substiution reactions and their products for example adding concentrate ammonia (NH3) to fluouromethane (CH3F) makes CH3NH2 and hydrogen fluoride (HF). There are a couple of dodgy examples you need to know in nucleophillic substitution but they aren't that bad once you know them.
The one with this example is that the NH3 isn't all added.

CH3F + NH3 -> CH3NH2 + HF

aww you will be fine think positive ... to be honest I prefer afternoon ones...after lunch lol in the mornings I feel tired and hungry and sick:frown:

Lol yeah I will be :biggrin:

I just don't like em cause usually I get tired lol. When its in the morning I'm alert and what not!

Thanks btw and good luck

ok so its not my calculator...its me:confused:


And me-.- Ive tried everything and gave up! I don't understand how to get it!

if from molecular to empirical is simplifying it, shouldn't it just be x ing it to get the molecular?


if you have worked out the empirical formula and they want the molecular formula, they will give you the Mr of the molecular formula... so just do:
Mr of molecular formula
Mr of empirical formula
the answer to this is what you multiply every atom in the empirical formula by, which gives the molecular :smile:

I got the same I don't understand how to get the answer on the markscheme:/


does anyone know how to get the answers in these questions?

It is indeed but so are electrophilic addition reactions.

you will only really come across homolytic fission in ozone depletion reactions or radical substitutions


omg! that cleared so much up!!! thanks :smile:

nucleophillic=heterophilic...and electrophilic=homo? is this right


No electrophilic addition is also heterolytic as one of the atoms has both of the electrons:wink:

ok so its not my calculator...its me:confused:


n=m/mr so 1x10^6/64.1=15600 part ii
n=v/24 so 3.6x10^5/24 = 15000 part iii
15000/15600 x 100 = 96% part iv

omg thankyou!! :biggrin:

So any radical has undergone homolytic fission?


Radical Substitution is the ONLY mechanism or topic that involves homolytic fission.
Addition and other substitution reactions are totally heterolytic!

may I just ask...that there is a nucleophillic addition and a nucleophillic substituition...are those different or same ;/ I think im overcomplicating myself:frown:

aah, thank you:smile:
for some reason i get a different answer when i do 1.00x10^6 :mad:

I remember that question it made me so angry ...the mark scheme was definitely talking rubbish ! no matter what i did i couldn't get the answer :/
I hope there is a question on explaining the effect of catalysts on the rate of reaction using enthalpy diagrams and the Boltzmann distribution...
I'm on this **** :colone:

We weren't taught nucleophilic addition just nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic addition:/
Got a question for you guys.

Explain what an exothermic reaction is in terms of bond braking and bond making (3 marks)
