4 grams , mass cannot be created or destroyed. it has to be the same on both sides of the equation
Answer:
A) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH
Explanation:
For this question, we have the following answer options:
A) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH
B) (CH3CH2)2CH(OH)CH2CH3
C) (CH3CH2)2CHOHCH3
D) (CH3CH2)3COH
E) (CH3CH2)2C(CH3)OH
We have to remember the<u> reaction mechanism</u> of the substitution reaction with . <em>The idea is to generate a better leaving group in order to add a "Br" atom.</em>
The attacks the "OH" generation new a bond to P (O-P bonds are very strong), due to this new bond we will have a better leaving group that can remove the oxygen an allow the attack of the Br atom to generating a new C-Br bond. This is made by an <u>Sn2 reaction</u>. Therefore we will have a faster reaction with <u>primary substrates</u>. In this case, the only primary substrate is molecule A. So, <em>"CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH"</em> will react faster.
