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>

If the molar heat of combustion of liquid benzene at constant volume and 300k is -3272KJ. Calculate the heat of combustion at co
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The heat at constant pressure is -3,275.7413 kJ

Explanation:

The combustion equation is 2C₆H₆ (l) + 15O₂ (g)  → 12CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l)

\Delta n_g = (12 - 15)/2 = -3/2

We have;

\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_g\cdot R\cdot T

Where R and T are constant, and ΔU is given we can write the relationship as follows;

H = U + \Delta n_g\cdot R\cdot T

Where;

H = The heat at constant pressure

U = The heat at constant volume = -3,272 kJ

\Delta n_g = The change in the number of gas molecules per mole

R = The universal gas constant = 8.314 J/(mol·K)

T = The temperature = 300 K

Therefore, we get;

H = -3,272 kJ + (-3/2) mol ×8.314 J/(mol·K) ×300 K) × 1 kJ/(1000 J) = -3,275.7413 kJ

The heat at constant pressure, H = -3,275.7413 kJ.
