The temperature of a substance increases when the ____________________ energy of the substance increases.
2 answers:
Answer: kinetic
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.
Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:
K= kinetic energy
R= gas constant
T= temperature
From above, it is visible that kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the system. So, if average kinetic energy of the system increases, the temperature of the system will increase.

Answer:
See explanation and picture below
Explanation:
First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.
In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.
In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.
