Enzymes are known as biological catalyst and work by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. They do this by providing an alternative pathway whi...

The relative formula mass ...

Both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions are nucleophilic substitution reactions. Sn1 reactions proceed via 2 steps. An example of this is the substitution of a halogen group such as bromine with an OH- group forming ...

Gibbs free energy allows you to link together the two factors entropy and enthalpy, these factors together determine if a chemical reaction is spontaneous or not. For a reaction to be spontaneous then the...

If a chiral molecules undergoes nucleophilic substitution what happens to its stereochemistry?

S_N1: These reactions occur with the production of a cationic intermediate. These conta...
