Answer:2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol
Explanation:
From the mechanism shown below, the addition of H^+ produces secondary carbocation which is less stable and rearranges by 1,2-alkyl shift to form a more stable tertiary carbocation which onto which the HSO3- now adds. Reaction with water gives the 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol as the major product. The minor product is 3,3-dimethyl butanol. The alkyl shift is to relieve steric hindrance and create a more stable carbocation.
<u>Answer:</u> The amount of carbon dioxide formed in the reaction is 47.48 grams
<u>Explanation:</u>
For the given chemical equation:
To calculate the actual yield of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:
Percentage yield of carbon dioxide = 83 %
Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide = 1.30 moles
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol
Moles of carbon dioxide = 1.079 moles
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide formed in the reaction is 47.48 grams
