What will happen if there is an insufficient supply of oxygen during the combustion of a hydrocarbon?

1 answer:

8 0

As long as there is some oxygen, the reaction will occur. If there is an insufficient amount of oxygen, then the oxygen will be the limiting reacting and there will be excess of the other reactants.

When a person pushes off a wall with 15N of force,how much force does the wall push back

aivan3 [116]

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force so that means that the wall is pushing you with the same amount of force that you put on it.

Compound A is an alkene that was treated with ozone to yield only (CH3CH2CH2)2C=O. Draw the major product that is expected when

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane

Explanation:

In this case, we have to know first the alkene that will react with the peroxyacid. So:

What do we know about the unknown alkene?

We know the product of the ozonolysis reaction (see figure 1). This reaction is an oxidative rupture reaction. Therefore, the double bond will be broken and we have to replace the carbons on each side of the double bond by oxygens. If $(CH_3CH_2CH_2)_2C=O$ is the only product we will have a symmetric molecule in this case 4,5-dipropyloct-4-ene.

What is the product with the peroxyacid?

This compound in the presence of alkenes will produce peroxides. Therefore we have to put a peroxide group in the carbons where the double bond was placed. So, we will have as product 2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane. (see figure 2)
