ch3br +nu- →ch3-nu +br- . The decreasing order of rate of above reaction with nucleophile nu- isA)pho_B) ACO-c)Ho-D) ch3o-

Answer»

The decreasing order of rate of above reaction with nucleophile nu- is

CH3O > HO > PhO > AcO 

Explanation:

If the nucleophilic atom or the centre is same, more basic the species stronger is the nucleophile. 

Here, the nucleophilic atom i.e. O is the same in all these species. This order can be easily explained on the general concept that a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base.

When triatomic gas `X_(3)` reacts with an excess of potassium iodide solution buffered with a borate buffer `(pH=9.2)` diatomix product `Y_(2)` is liberated which can be titrated agains a standard solution of sodium thiosulphate. This is a quantitative method for the estimation of `X_(3)` gas in the mxiture of `X_(3)` and `X_(2)` of some atom `X`. Select the incorrect statement?A. `Y_(2)` produces blue colour wilth starchB. `X_(2)` is thermodynamically stable as compared to `X_(3)`C. `Y_(2)` can produce brown colouration due to the presence of excess `KI`D. `X_(2)` and `X_(3)` both are colourless and odourless gases
