Dehydration is removal of water.
In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.
In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].
The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.
The process or mechanism can be understood as:
so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
Answer: Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that are dependent on the concentration of the solutes in the solution.
Colligative properties has to do with solutions, that is, solutes that are dissolved in solvents. Examples of colligative properties are: freezing point depression, vapour pressure lowering, boiling point elevation and osmotic pressure. Colligative properties do not depend on the identity of the solutes, this implies that the effect of colligative properties are uniform across all solutions. For example, the freezing point depression of any solution will depend on the concentration of solutes that are dissolve in solution.
Rubidium would exhibit the greatest shielding [ effect. ]
<u>Given:</u>
Concentration of Ba(OH)2 = 0.348 M
<u>To determine:</u>
pOH of the above solution
<u>Explanation:</u>
Based on the stoichiometry-
1 mole of Ba(OH)2 is composed of 1 mole of Ba2+ ion and 2 moles of OH- ion
Therefore, concentration of OH- ion = 2*0.348 = 0.696 M
pOH = -log[OH-] = - log[0.696] = 0.157
Ans: pOH of 0.348M Ba(OH)2 is 0.157
