Complete the table to show how both $\u0003AgNO_3\text{(aq)}$ and $\u0003NH_3\text{(aq)}$ could be used to tell apart solutions of $\u0003NaCl\text{(aq)}$ and $\u0003NaI\text{(aq)}$.
Predict how the electrical conductivity will alter as the reaction goes on. Explain your answer.
Describe an appropriate method for investigating the rate of this reaction at a temperature of $40^{\circ}\text{C}$, using the following: an electrical conductance meter which measures the electrical conductivity of solutions; solutions of known concentrations of 2-chlorobutane in propanone and sodium iodide in propanone; a stopclock; access to standard laboratory equipment.
Deduce the order of reaction with respect to each of $[\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CHClCH}_3]$ and $[\text{I}^-]$. Explain your reasoning. Order with respect to $[\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CHClCH}_3]$. Order with respect to $[\text{I}^-]$.
Write the rate equation for this reaction, stating the units of the rate constant, $k$.
Calculate the relative rate for experiment 4.
Suggest the mechanism for the reaction of 2-chlorobutane with iodide ions. Draw out the steps involved, including all relevant lone pairs and dipoles, curly arrows to show the movement of electron pairs, and the structure of any transition state or intermediate.
This reaction was carried out using a single optical isomer of 2-chlorobutane. Use your mechanism in (i) to predict whether the product will be a single optical isomer or a mixture of two optical isomers. Explain your answer.
State the number of peaks that would be seen in the carbon-13 NMR spectrum of $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CHClCH}_3$.
There are two isomers of $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CHClCH}_3$ that have fewer peaks in their carbon-13 NMR spectra than $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CHClCH}_3$. Draw the structures of these isomers and state the number of peaks for each isomer.
