b the absence of a nucleus
Answer:
Second step
(CH3)3C+ (aq) + OH^-(aq) ------->(CH3)3COH(aq)
Explanation:
This reaction involves;
First the ionization of the tertiary halide to firm a carbocation
Secondly the attack of the hydroxide ion on the carbocation to form tert-butanol
First step;
(CH3)3CBr (aq) → (CH3)3C+ (aq) + Br- (aq)
Second step
(CH3)3C+ (aq) + OH^-(aq) ------->(CH3)3COH(aq)
This second step completes the reaction mechanism.
1 is The first one
<span>2 is the third one
3 is the second one
4 is the 4th one</span>
It depends if you are taking the class in high school or college. For college doing the experiments is fun but the calculations is not. Also if you are taking it, bring friends.
