This question was asked in respect of a NUCLEOPHILIC DISPLACEMENT lab - FORMATION OF AN ETHER BY AN SN2 REACTION

Ethanol is not usually a solvent used for SN2 reactions, why not? Can you predict an undesirable side reaction that might occur using the ethanol as a solvent that would not occur if we used THF as a solvent?

Consider an object whose initial displacement and velocity are both equal to zero with respect to a reference point X. The object accelerates in a straight line away from X according to the following function of time: a(t) = 2t where the instantaneous acceleration is expressed in meters per second squared, and the initial time is t = 0. How fast is this object moving with respect to point X at t = 3 s? A. 1.732 m/s B. 3...

PROBABILITY QUESTION Assume that, as a clinic worker, you are asked to conduct lab tests for diagnosis of a disease. From ex- periments, it is known that any person in the population is either has the disease (positive), or has not (negative), i.e. there is no carrier. Over the entire population of people only 0.005 have this disease and the lab test returns a correct positive result in only 97% of the cases in which the disease is actually present...

Column Chromatography Lab 1. What would happen if diethyl ether were put in the column first instead of petroleum ether? 2. The recrystallization lab required you to purify naphthalene which contained a small portion of fluorenone. Could you use column chromatography to purify the same mixture? Would the selection of solvents be different from those used in this lab?

I'm working on a lab that's the Ziegler Natta Catalytic Formation of Polyethylene and at one point in the lab the lab manual says to: "Turn off the ethylene and turn on the nitrogen. Add 95% ethanol (100ml) to the addition funnel and add this dropwise to the reaction mixture. One of the questions is to "think of a reason why we flush with nitrogen before the addition of ethanol" and another is "why do we add ethanol? Why not...
