The reaction of an amine with an alkyl halide gives an ammonium salt. The rate of this SN2 reaction is sensitive to the polarity of the solvent. Draw an energy diagram for this reaction in a nonpolar solvent and another in a polar solvent. Consider the nature of the transition state, and explain why this reaction should be sensitive to the polarity of the solvent. Predict whether it will be faster or slower in a more polar solvent.

Assignment 4 - Energy Diagram Illustrating Your Experience of Snowmaggedon The instructions are simple, draw an energy diagram (or reaction coordinate diagram) that illustrates your experience during our snowmaggedon (think Sn1/Sn2/E1/E2 reaction coordinate diagram). The diagram is to illustrate your "reaction" progress of your experience as you navigated this week. Add as many transition states and intermediates that you see fit (be sure to give detail of each hill and valley). For example: What was the highest, lowest, moderate transition state during your reaction and why? Was your experience exothermic or endothermic? (draw accordingly (-))
Label each statement as true or false. Correct any false statement to make it true. a. Increasing temperature increases reaction rate. b. If a reaction is fast, it has a large rate constant. c. A fast reaction has a large negative ΔG° value. d. When Ea is large, the rate constant k is also large. e. Fast reactions have equilibrium constants > 1. f. Increasing the concentration of a reactant always increases the rate of a reaction.
Draw an energy diagram for the SN2 reaction on the previous page. Your reaction coordinate diagram should: Include structures of starting materials, products, and transition states at correct relative energies. Indicate the activation energy of the rate determining step and whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic. What makes this reaction endothermic or exothermic?
As we will learn, many antioxidants–compounds that prevent unwanted radical oxidation reactions from occurring–are phenols, compounds that contain an OH group bonded directly to a benzene ring.a.) Explain why homolysis of the O–H bond in phenol requiresconsiderably less energy than homolysis of the O–H bond in ethanol(362 kJ/mol vs. 438 kJ/mol).b.) Why is the C–O bond in phenol shorter than the C–O bond in ethanol?
