First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.
Answer:
B. 111 J
Explanation:
The change in internal energy is the sum of the heat absorbed and the work done on the system:
ΔU = Q + W
At constant pressure, work is:
W = P ΔV
Given:
P = 0.5 atm = 50662.5 Pa
ΔV = 4 L − 2L = 2 L = 0.002 m³
Plugging in:
W = (50662.5 Pa) (0.002 m³)
W = 101.325 J
Therefore:
ΔU = 10 J + 101.325 J
ΔU = 111.325 J
Rounded to three significant figures, the change in internal energy is 111 J.
Answer:
2HNO3+Ca(OH)2 = Ca(NO3)2+2H2O
Explanation:
The reaction between Nitric acid(HNO3)and Calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2) gives Calcium Nitrate( Ca(NO3)2 and Water( H2O)
