Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The iodide ion should be characterized as being either nucleophilic or electrophilic.
Concept introduction: The fundamental electrostatics suggests that electrons have more affinity for electron-deficient sites in an organic compound. or positive charge. The curved arrow is appropriate mechanism to depict electron movement that occurs from electron rich species to electron deficient species.
The nucleophile is species with unshared lone pair or negative charge that makes it to seek out positive center with a reaction. Likewise, electrophile seeks for electron rich center as it is positively charged center of substrate.
(b)
Interpretation: The hydrogen ion should be characterized as being either nucleophilic or electrophilic.
Concept introduction: The fundamental electrostatics suggests that electrons have more affinity for electron-deficient sites in an organic compound. or positive charge. The curved arrow is appropriate mechanism to depict electron movement that occurs from electron rich species to electron deficient species.

Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function
- Synthesis of Benzoic Acid Is the reaction between sodium benzoate and hydrochloric acid exothermic or endothermic? What type of reaction is this? What are the products? Why is ice cold water rather than room temperature or warm water used to wash the remainder of the benzoic acid out of the beaker?arrow_forward7. The reaction of methoxide anion with bromoethane to yield the ether ethyl methyl ether and the bromide anon (Br-) is an excellent example of a general reaction type called Sy2 (substitution nucleophilic bimolecular): CH,0+ CH,СH-Br a CH3-0-CH,СH; + Br- a. Change in enthalpy is -103 kJ/mol; the change in entropy is + 0.025 kJ/mol-K. Calculate DG at 300K. b. Is the reaction endergonic or exergonic? c. Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? d. Use curved arrows to show the complete mechanism. Reaction of 2-methyl-1-butene with H-Cl could yield TWO alkyl chloride products. Draw and name 8. them.arrow_forward43. In DNA the nucleic acid bases form hydrogen bonds between them, which are responsible for the formation of the double-stranded helix. A hydrogen bond donor is defined as any hydrogen atom that can participate in a hydrogen bond, whereas a hydrogen bond acceptor is defined as any atom that can "receive" that hydrogen atom to form a hydrogen bond.
