Q. How can we qualitatively predict $\sigma-$bond strengths of overlap between:
$s-s$
$s-p$
$p-p$
$sp-s$
$sp-p$
$sp-sp$
etc.?
My school-book says $s-s$ overlap bond strength is greater than $s-p$ overlap which is greater than $p-p$
Another book Inorganic Chemistry by JD Lee states this:
...
This is the process of dehydration of alcohols and it follows the $\mathrm{E1}$ mechanism in the rate determing step.
My proposed mechanism for it is:
In the third step, I have deprotonated the most acidic hydrogen.
However, the answer given in my workbook is:
I can't figure out...
@Abcd just my opinion, feel free to do whatever you wish to, but I think now that conclusion has been reached, I'm sure you'll want to remove that meta post
@Abcd Idk myself; all I know is that it's oxidative ozonolysis, the mechanism of which is subject to an entire book (Criegee mech)
@GaurangTandon For the elementary reaction $\ce{M -> N} $, the rate of disappearance of M increases by a factor of 8 upon doubling the concentration of M. The order of reaction with respect to M is?
I think I disagree @Sid. Unless we're given that M is actually an element and not just a shorthand for some compound, we cannot say that the reaction is elementary
moreover, it is clearly given that "increases by a factor of 8 upon doubling the concentration"
so we've to follow the experimental rate law
although I agree the confusion could've been avoided by writing "compound M -> compound N" instead
JEE questions are often poorly written
so it's best to closely follow what's explicitly written, and not implicitly assume anything,which in this case was: " increases by a factor of 8 upon doubling the concentratio"
