To determine: The mechanism for the given silver-promoted rearrangement.
Interpretation: The mechanism for the given silver-promoted rearrangement is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The structural changes in carbocations are known as rearrangements. It leads to the formation of more stable ions. Addition of silver nitrate to an alkyl halide in a good ionizing solvent results in the removal of silver ion. This leads to the formation of a carbocation.

- Rate Enhancement by Urease.The enzyme urease enhances the rate of urea hydrolysis at pH 8.0 and 20 °C by a factor of 1014. If a given quantity of urease can completely hydrolyze a given quantity of urea in 5.0 min at 20 °C and pH 8.0, how long would it take for this amount of urea to be hydrolyzed under the same conditions in the absence of urease? Assume that both reactions take place in sterile systems so that bacteria cannot attack the urea.arrow_forward. Provide a synthetic pathway for each of the following multi-step reactions. Do not write any step wise mechanisms. CN HO Br OH SH „Brarrow_forwardWhat is the reaction mechanism and what are the major products of this reaction?arrow_forward
- The reaction of the alkene, ethylene, with H2 produces ethane as a product. However, the reaction is incredibly slow in the absence of a catalyst, such as platinum metal. What is the role of the catalyst in speeding up the reaction? Raising the activation energy by breaking the bonds of hydrogen molecules. By bringing together the hydrogen atoms and alkene on the same metal surface, thereby lowering the activation energy. By decreasing the number of reactive inermediates. By increasing the equilibrium constant for the reaction.arrow_forwardPredict the major reaction pathway that will occur under these conditions. SN1 SN2 E1 E2 Br Nalarrow_forward5.

- What type of bond cleavage takes place in/what type of intermediate is produced in the following reaction? COH2 H,0arrow_forwardTRUE or FALSE: For a transition state to be considered as the rate- determining step (rds) in a multi-step reaction, it must have the highest change in enthalpy.arrow_forward17. In the free energy diagram of a reversible reaction for the formation of B from A, the activation free energy change for the formation of B from A (AG*) is +6 kcal mol-¹ in an uncatalysed reaction and +2 kcal mol-¹ in a catalysed reaction, and that for the formation of A from B (AG,*) is +12 kcal mol-¹ in the uncatalysed reaction. What is the activation free energy change (AG,¹) for the conversion of B to A in the catalyzed reaction? a. Can't be calculated from the information provided. b. + 6 kcal mol-¹ c. + 4 kcal mol-¹ d. +8 kcal mol-¹arrow_forward
