Using the pKa values of the conjugate acids of the leaving groups (the pKa of HBr is -9, and the pKa of H2Ois 15.7), explain the difference in reactivity between CH3Br and CH3OH in a nucleophilic substitution reaction
1/12/2016 CHAPTER 1 The Chemical Basis of Life Reading: pp. 1 - 18 Learning Objectives • Be able to describe the roles of the main components of prokaryotic cells (nucleoid, ribosomes, cell wall, and plasma membrane) and eukaryotic cells (nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, lysosome, mitochondrion, chloroplast, cell wall, and plasma membrane) • Know that prokaryotes include two domains of life, archaea and bacteria, that are exclusively single cell organisms. Due to their simplicity and rapid cell division prokaryotes are more adaptable to changing environments and species have evolved to colonize extrem
