Gravity is the solution!. We are lucky to have Jupiter in our solar system. Jupiter's gravity is strong enough to pull meteorites towards itself.

Draw the alkene formed when 1-heptyne is treated with hbr in the presence of peroxide.

Nimfa-mama [501]

<h2>Heptene formed is -</h2><h2> $CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH=CHBr$ </h2>

Explanation:

The two possibilities when the peroxide is not present

$CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-C$ ≡ $CH +HBr$ → $CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CBr=CH_{2}$

$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CBr=CH_2$ + HBr → $CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CBr_2-CH_3$

In presence peroxide,

$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-C$ ≡ $CH$ + HBr → $CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH=CHBr$

When peroxides are present in the reaction mixture, hydrogen bromide adds to the triple bond of heptane with regioselectivity.

This reaction is opposite to that of Markovnikov's rule which says that when asymmetrical alkene reacts with a protic acid HX, then the hydrogen of an acid is attached to the carbon with more in number of hydrogen substituents, and the halide (X) group is attached to the carbon with more in number of substituents of alkyl.
One mole of HBr adds to one mole of 1-heptane.
The structure of heptene formed is -

$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH=CHBr$

Write half reactions and the overall reaction occurred during discharging of acid lead battery.

Gre4nikov [31]

When battery discharge / delivering current the lead at the anode is oxidized
that is ;
pb---->pb+ 2e-
since the lead ions are in presence of aquous sulfate in insoluble lead sulfate precipitate onto the electrode
the overall reaction at the anode is therefore
Pb + SO4^2- ---> PbSO4 + 2e-
