Answer:

The dissociation of copper sulfate into ions is an exothermic chemical reaction that releases heat into the surroundings.

Explanation:

Some of the potential energy stored in the solid sample of anhydrous copper sulfate is released as heat as the sample dissolves and dissociates into ions in the water. This is due to the large lattice energy of the crystalline copper sulfate.

What compound is formed when methyloxirane (1,2-epoxypropane) is reacted with ethylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Pentan-2-ol

Explanation:

On this reaction, we have a Grignard reagent (ethylmagnesium bromide), therefore we will have the production of a carbanion (step 1). Then this carbanion can attack the least substituted carbon 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 treatment with aqueous acid, when we add acid the hydronium ion ( $H^+$ ) would be produced, so in the reaction mechanism, we can put the hydronium ion. This ion would be attacked by the negative charge produced in the second step to produce the final molecule: "Pentan-2-ol".
