Which atom(s) is/are electrophilic in methanol (ch3oh)?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zarrin [17]3 years ago
4 0

Let us understand the two terms

a) Nucleophile: which can give electrons it can be either negative or neutral

b) electrophile: which can accept electrons due to empty orbitals or incomplete octet. It can be positive or neutral

In methanol

Oxygen carries two lone pairs of electrons so it will be nucleophilic

while carbon and hydrogen being bonded to highly electronegative atom oxygen will be electrophilic

so answer is

An example of kinetic energy being converted into heat energy
sammy [17]

Answer:

if you drop a water balloon onto the ground, its kinetic energy is converted mostly to thermal energy. If the balloon weighs 1 kilogram and you drop it from about 2 meters, it will heat up by less.

Explanation:

As you say, kinetic energy of large objects can be converted into this thermal energy. For example, if you drop a water balloon onto the ground, its kinetic energy is converted mostly to thermal energy. If the balloon weighs 1 kilogram and you drop it from about 2 meters, it will heat up by less than.

Give the major product formed when phenol is heated with concentrated H2SO4 and SO3. (There is more than one correct answer, but
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

See image attached and explanation

Explanation:

The reaction of phenol with SO3/H2SO4 is an electrophilic reaction. The electrophile attacks portions of high electron density in the substrate phenol.

The -OH group activates phenol towards electrophilic substitution at the ortho and para positions, hence the product(s) formed in this reaction(only one product is shown here as required by the question).

The sulphonation of phenol using concentrated sulfuric acid at lower temperature yields majorly the ortho product whereas at higher temperature the para product predominates.
