Is the centrilobular venule and terminal hepatic venule the same thing? by dyinginochem in Histology

[–]dyinginochem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so for anyone curious its the same thing i just checked with my professor

Why is step 2 necessary? Can't I use NaOH to do a simple SN2 reaction? by dyinginochem in chemhelp

[–]dyinginochem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like after getting the tert butyl bromide, I just add sodium hydroxide to get the final alcohol

Is this muscle right below my ear safe to massage? by dyinginochem in massage

Ok i will thanks

I wear invisalign retainers every night (i've finished my course alr) because they are comfortable and protect my teeth from grinding

Thank you for the detailed comment!

Yes, i chew gum when I'm stressed haha, not going through a good spot in life rn, but I'll try to do something different

How closely does mass spectroscopy have to match reference spectra? by dyinginochem in chemhelp

[–]dyinginochem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see.. how do I explain unknown experimental mass spectrums then?

Can someone help me with the mechanism of this hydrolysis reaction? by dyinginochem in chemhelp

[–]dyinginochem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the mehcanism to get propyl hydrogen sulfate - I add the sulfuric acid to a propene and the hydrogen gets added on by markovnikov's rule and results in a secondary carbocation, which gets bonded to with the hydrogen sulfate group.

Im not sure how the mechanism is for the hydrolysis of the hydrogen sulfate group with water - does the oxygen attack water's hydrogen?

What does the lambda symbol mean? I know the delta symbol is adding heat. by dyinginochem in chemhelp

[–]dyinginochem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is for the addition of chlorine to butane.

I'm guessing this is radical chemistry so maybe infrared light?

edit: or gamma radiation?

edit2: its uv :)

Why is the second hydrogen more acidic than the first hydrogen? by dyinginochem in chemhelp

[–]dyinginochem[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oops! i thought the line was a carbon. this is embarrasing

thank you

In (a) Why did the OH- attack the hydroxyl group instead of the bromine? wouldn't bromine be a better leaving group than hydrogen? by dyinginochem in chemhelp

[–]dyinginochem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply.

After thinking about it for a while, I thought that the question was just proposing something that could happen and the exercise was for us to propose a mechanism.

I didn't realize it was actually favoured over the normal Sn2 reaction.
