CHMB41H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: List Of Association Football Teams To Have Won Four Or More Trophies In One Season, Racemization, Reaction Rate Constant
Document Summary
Leaving group is a halide ion (f-, cl-, br-, i-) 9. 1 the mechanism for an sn2 reaction. If the concentration of one reactants doubles, the reaction doubles. If both concentration reactants are doubled, the rate of the reaction quadruples. The rate law tells us which molecules are involved in the transition state of the rate- determining step of the reaction. The larger the rate constant, the lower is the energy barrier & easier it is for reactants to reach transition state. Bimolecular means the two molecules are involved in the transition state of the rate determining step: the rate of the substitution reaction depends on the concentration of the alkyl halide. And the nucleophile, both reactants are involved in the transition state of the rate determining step: as the alkyl group becomes larger, or as h"s of the bromomethane are replaced w/
