Answer:
The major product is 2-methyl-2-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ ] and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ ].
Explanation:
Dehydration reaction is a reaction in which a molecule loses a water molecule in the presence of a dehydrating agent like sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).
<u>Dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-2-pentanol</u> gives a major product 2-methyl-2-pentene and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene.
CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)₂-OH (2-methyl-2-pentanol)→ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ (2-methyl-2-pentene, major) + CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ (2-methyl-1-pentene, minor)
<u>Since more substituted alkene is more stable than the less substituted alkene. So, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is more stable than the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene.</u>
<u>Therefore, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is the major product and the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene is the minor product.</u>
<u>Given:</u>
Mass of solvent water = 4.50 kg
Freezing point of the solution = -11 C
Freezing point depression constant = 1.86 C/m
<u>To determine:</u>
Moles of methanol to be added
<u>Explanation:</u>
The freezing point depression ΔTf is related to the molality m through the constant kf, as follows:
ΔTf = kf*m
where ΔTf = Freezing point of pure solvent (water) - Freezing pt of solution
ΔTf = 0 C - (-11.0 C) = 11.0 C
m = molality = moles of methanol/kg of water = moles of methanol/4.50 kg
11.0 = 1.86 * moles of methanol/4.50
moles of methanol = 26.613 moles
Ans: Thus around 26.6 moles of methanol should be added to 4.50 kg of water.
3NO₂ + H₂O→2HNO₃ + NO
n(NO)=n(NO₂)/3
n(NO)=0.83/3=0.277 mol
