Answer:
Pentan-2-ol
Explanation:
On this reaction, we have a <u>Grignard reagent</u> (ethylmagnesium bromide), therefore we will have the production of a <u>carbanion</u> (step 1). Then this carbanion can <u>attack the least substituted carbon</u> in the epoxide in this case carbon 1 (step 2). In this step, the epoxide is open and a negative charge is generated in the oxygen. The next step, is the <u>treatment with aqueous acid</u>, when we add acid the <u>hydronium ion</u> (
) would be produced, so in the reaction mechanism, we can put the hydronium ion. This ion would be <u>attacked by the negative charge</u> produced in the second step to produce the final molecule: <u>"Pentan-2-ol".</u>
See figure 1
I hope it helps!
Answer:
Coal
Explanation:
Coal produces more pollution than any other energy source. While coal produces just 44% of U.S. electricity, it accounts for 80% of power plant carbon emissions. Burning coal leads to soot, smog, acid rain, global warming, and carbon emissions.
Answer:
poor hydrogen-ion donor
Explanation:
Acid dissociation constant constant chemistry is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation reaction of an acid, it is denoted by Ka. This equilibrium constant is a measure of the strength of an acid in a solution.
Note these as a rule of thumb:
When Ka is large, the dissociation of the acid is favored.
When Ka is small, the acid does not dissociate to a large extent.
Hence, a Ka of 4.3 x 10-7 shows a weak acid. A weak acid is a poor hydrogen ion donor because it does not dissociate to a large extent in solution.
