Ammonia (NH3) reacts with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate. How many grams of ammonium sulfate are obtained from 8.73 g of
Gwar [14]
I hope you understand my working:
1) Finding the mol of NH3 to find the mol of (NH4)2SO4 (ammonium sulfate)
2) Mr of (NH4)2SO4
3) Theoretical yield: The actual grams of (NH4)2SO4 produced when reacting 0.514 mol of NH3 to 0.514 mol H2SO4
4) Using formula of (given grams)/(theoretical grams or actual grams) * 100 = 73%
5) Basic algebra

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.
