When dipentyl ether is treated with HI, what type of reaction occurs? both SN1 and SN2 SN2 E1 SN1 E2

Answer:

SN2

Explanation:

The first step of ether cleavage is the protonation of the ether since ROH is a better leaving group than RO-.

The second step of the reaction may proceed by either SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the structure of the ether. Methyl and primary ethers react with HI by SN2 mechanism while tertiary ethers react with HI by SN1 mechanism. Secondary ethers react with HI by a mixture of both mechanisms.

Dipentyl ether is a primary ether hence when treated with HI, the reaction with HI proceeds by SN2 mechanism as explained above.

Each glucose molecule consists only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. If each molecule contains 53.3% oxygen and 6.7% hydro
MAVERICK [17]
53.3% + 6.7% = 60%, 100% - 60% = 40%. 40% of glucose is made of carbon. Since there are only three types of atoms in glucose, and the amount of hydrogen and oxygen is already given, this means that whatever percentage is left (40%) has to be carbon.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The response options are as follows:

I. C-O or C=O

II. C-C

III. C-H

IV. O-H

The answer is: IV>III>I>II

Explanation:

V) O-H is a hydrogen bridge. The hydrogen bridge is characterized by being similar to dipole-dipole bonds.

III) C-H is an ionic bond. The ionic bond occurs when they fuse together due to electron transfer.

I) C=O is a covalent bond. The covalent bond happens when two atoms bond together to create a molecule, sharing its electrons that are in its most superficial layer,

II) C-C is covalent bond.

What type of reaction occurs when complex compounds are broken down into simpler substances?
Zarrin [17]
Complex compounds are broken down to simpler substances in catabolic reactions.

These kinds of reactions often occur in biological systems. In living organisms, complex compounds like lipids, proteins and complex sugar like cellulose are broken down into simpler forms. Products of these reactions are simple sugars, amino acids etc. but a certain amount of energy is also produced and stored in energy molecules for future use.
