In an organic chemistry lab we were looking at the substrate and nucleophile effects in Sn2 reactions. Our experimental data showed that 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL of 0.25M NaI in 2-Butanone reacted faster than 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL 0.50M NaI in 2-butanone. Also, our experimental data showed that 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL of 0.50M NaI reacted faster than 1-bromobutane with 2.0mL of 0.05M NaI. These result are the opposite of the theoritcal rate aren't they? From my understanding, the Sn2 reaction rate should...

Stereoisomerism: A Model Exercise In this experiment you will construct models with your molecular model set that illustrate the concepts of chirality, chiral center (stereogenic center, asymmetric carbon atom), enantiomers, diastereomers, and meso forms. You will also learn about two conventions, R-S and Fischer, for designating the configurations of chiral molecules. You will...
