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?

2h2s + 3o2 2so2 + 2h2o which option gives the correct mole ratios? h2s: so2 = 2: 2 and o2: h2o = 3: 2 h2s: so2 = 2: 3 and o2: h2o = 3: 2 h2s: so2 = 4: 4 and o2: h2o = 5: 4 h2s: so2 = 4: 6 and o2: h2o = 4: 4

Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane? a. the central oxygen atom in water has two lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has no lone pairs. b. the central hydrogen atom in water has one lone pair of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has two lone pairs. c. the central oxygen atom in water has four lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has only one lone pair. d. the central oxygen atom exerts more repulsive force on surrounding atoms than the central carbon atom in methane does. reset next
