Consider the following reaction: C6H6 + O2 \longrightarrow ⟶ CO2 + H2O 39.7 grams of C6H6 are allowed to react with 105.7 g of O

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

116.3 grCO2

Explanation:

1st - we balance the equation so that it finds the same amount of elements of the product side and of the reagent side

C6H6 +15/2 O2⟶ 6CO2 +3 H2O

2nd - we calculate the limiting reagent

39.2gr C6H6*(240grO2/78grC6H6)=120 grO2

we don't have that amount of oxygen so this is the excess reagent and oxygen the limiting reagent

3rd - we use the limiting reagent to calculate the amount of CO2 in grams

105.7grO2*(264grCO2/240grO2)=116.3 grCO2

When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr

konstantin123 [22]

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.
