Reaction of tert−butyl pentyl ether [CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OC(CH3)3] with HBr forms 1−bromopentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2Br) and compound H.

H has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 56 and gives peaks in its IR spectrum at 3150−3000, 3000−2850, and 1650 cm−1. Draw a structure for H and arrange the correct stepwise mechanism that accounts for its formation.

Answer:The compound H is is 2-Methyl prop-1-ene and its structure can be found in attachment. The m/z value of 2-Methyl prop-1-ene is 56 which clearly matches with the mas spectrum data. The structure can also be ascertained using the provided IR data. The IR data has absorption stretching frequency in the region of 1650cm⁻¹ which is due to the C=C double bond. The stretching frequency at 3150-3000cm⁻¹ is due to the unsaturated C-H bond. The stretching frequency at 3000-2850cm⁻¹ is due to the saturated C-H bonds. Kindly refer attachment for the mechanism.

Explanation:

The reaction of tert-butyl ether with HBr leads to the formation of 1-bromopentane and tertbutyl alcohol.

The tert butyl alcohol formed undergoes E1 elimnation reaction to give 2-Methyl prop-1-ene.

The mass spectra and IR data available for the compound H completely matches with that of 2-Methyl prop-1-ene hence we can ascertain that the compound H is 2-Methyl prop-1-ene.

The m/Z value of 2-Methyl prop-1-ene  is 56 which is in compete accordance with the provided data for compound H .

The IR data also completely matches with the structure of 2-Methyl prop-1-ene as the following Infrared absorption peaks are provided which matches with that of 2-Methyl prop-1-ene :

The absorption stretching frequency in the region of 1650cm⁻¹ corresponds to the  C=C double bond which is clearly evident in 2-Methyl prop-1-ene.

The stretching frequency at 3150-3000cm⁻¹ corresponds to  unsaturated C-H bond.

The stretching frequency at 3000-2850cm⁻¹ is due to the saturated C-H bonds.

The mechanism of the reaction involves the following steps:

1. The oxygen atom in tert-butyl pentyl ether is protonated by treating it with Hydrogen bromide and Br⁻ is lost from hydrogen bromide.

2. Now since the oxygen atom is protonated it turns into a good leaving group and can leave as tertiary butyl alcohol. The eliminated Br⁻ now  attacks in a SN2 manner from the back side at the primary carbon center which leads to the formation of 1-Bromopentane and tertiary-butyl alcohol

3.The tert-butyl alcohol formed further reacts with HBr present to give elimiantion product 2-Methyl prop-1-ene  through E1 elimination mechanism. The OH is protonated  and further it gets eliminated  as H₂O leading to formation of  a tertiary carbocation. The tertiary carbocation formed gives an elimination product of 2-Methyl prop-1-ene .

Kindly refer the attachment for complete reaction mechanism.

What was John Dalton's contribution to the development of the atomic theory?
Lorico [155]

John Dalton made some hypothesis about the structure of atom. He proposed that matter is composed of great number of indivisible particles called atoms they can neither be destroyed nor be created.

<h3>What is atomic theory?</h3>

There are different theories regarding the structure and electronic properties of an atom. Many scientists contributed to the modern theory of atomic structure in which John Dalton was first to mention the word atom.

According to Dalton' theory, matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed. All the atoms of the same element are identical in all aspects.

Atoms of different elements are different and the compounds are formed by the combination of atoms.  Dalton's theory provided a sound basis for the laws of chemical combination and also several properties of gases and liquids known at that time.

However, he could not explain the reason for chemical combination of atoms and did not give any idea about the existence of isotopes and isobars.

Hence, the main aspects of Dalton's theory was the indivisibility of atoms and the chances of chemical combination.

Why should you always condition a buret before running a titration?.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conditioning two or three times will insure that the concentration of titrant is not changed by a stray drop of water.

Explanation:

"Check the tip of the buret for an air bubble. To remove an air bubble, whack the side of the buret tip while solution is flowing".

Hello.

The answer is: False

The current theory of the formation of our solar system is that the planets formed more or less in their present orbits and they were made balls of gas but they were never comets captured by the sun.

What do chemists use percent yield calculations for in the real world?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

C. To determine how efficient reactions are.

D. To determine how much reactant they need.

Explanation:

When you are doing a reaction, you are hoping for a percent yield to close of 100%. You make the reaction and determine how many product you obtain. If you know the percent yield of a reaction you can calculate the amount of reactant you need to obtain a determined amount of product.

Having this in mind:

A. To balance the reaction equation.  false. To calculate percent yield you need to balance the reaction before. You don't use percent yield to balance the reaction

B. To determine how much product they will need.  false. You determine how much product you obtain after the reaction. How much product you need is independent of percent yield

C. To determine how efficient reactions are.  true. A way to determine efficience of a reaction is with percent yield. An efficient reaction has a high percent yield.

D. To determine how much reactant they need. true. If you know percent yield of a reaction you can know how many reactant you must add to obtain  the amount of product you want.
