Compounds X and Y are both C5H11Cl products formed in the radical chlorination of pentane. Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C5H10 alkene (ignoring double bond stereochemistry). Both X and Y react in SN2 fashion with sodium iodide in acetone; Y reacts faster than X. What is the structure of Y?

C5H11Cl with the Cl group attached to the chiral carbon

Explanation:

radical chlorination is given by:

C5H12 + Cl2 → C5H11Cl + HCl

Such reactions are unselective, the product  could either 1-chloropentanes, 2-chloropentanes, or 3-chloropentanes, all with the same molecular formula C5H11Cl but different structure(depending on on the carbon the chlorine is attached)

1-chloropentanes has its Cl group attached to a primary carbon

2-chloropentanes has its Cl group attached to a second carbon

3-chloropentanes  has its Cl group attached to a third  carbon

SN2 reactions occurs fastest on the primary carbon(chiral) which. Therefore Y is 1-chloropentane which has its Cl group attached to a primary carbon with no beta-branching will proceed the fastest.

coral.

explanation:

coral. many marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively impacted by increasing co2 levels and decreasing ph in seawater.

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
