Answer:

heptan-3-one and heptan-2-one

Explanation:

In this case, we must remember what the products of this reaction are. An alkyne in the presence of HgSO4 and H2SO4 will produce a ketone. But, in the triple bond, we have two carbons, therefore the carbonyl group can be placed on any of the carbons of the triple bond.

In figure 1 we have the general reaction. At C = O it can be added to the carbon on the left (red carbon) or the carbon on the right (blue carbon).

Following this logic, for 2-heptyne the carbonyl group can be added to carbon 2 producing <u>heptan-2-one</u>. Similarly, the carbonyl group can be added to carbon 3 producing <u>heptan-3-one</u>. (See figure 2)

What pressure is required to reduce 40 ml of a gas at standard conditions to 20 ml at a temperature of 21?c? answer in units of
ElenaW [278]
If you need half the volume, you need double the pressure (V * p). Normal air pressure in the atmosphere is 101300 Pa so that means you need double that, thus 202600 Pa (or 2,026 bars)
