In the absence of sodium methoxide, the same alkyl bromide gives a different product. Draw an arrowpushing mechanism to account

for its formation. 6. (a) In the reaction in part 5(a), two additional products, which contain only carbon and hydrogen, are also formed. Draw their structures and propose mechanisms for their formation. Predict which of these two products would be formed in greater quantities. (b) In the reaction in part 5(b), two additional products, which contain only carbon

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, cause you are not providing the structure. However, I found the question and it's attached in picture 1.

Now, according to this reaction and the product given, we can see that we have sustitution reaction. In the absence of sodium methoxide, the reaction it's no longer in basic medium, so the sustitution reaction that it's promoted here it's not an Sn2 reaction as part a), but instead a Sn1 reaction, and in this we can have the presence of carbocation. What happen here then?, well, the bromine leaves the molecule leaving a secondary carbocation there, but the neighbour carbon (The one in the cycle) has a more stable carbocation, so one atom of hydrogen from that carbon migrates to the carbon with the carbocation to stabilize that carbon, and the result is a tertiary carbocation. When this happens, the methanol can easily go there and form the product.

For question 6a, as it was stated before, the mechanism in that reaction is a Sn2, however, we can have conditions for an E2 reaction and form an alkene. This can be done, cause the extoxide can substract the atoms of hydrogens from either the carbon of the cycle or the terminal methyl of the molecule and will form two different products of elimination. The product formed in greater quantities will be the one where the negative charge is more stable, in this case, in the primary carbon of the methyl it's more stable there, so product 1 will be formed more (See picture 2)

For question 6b, same principle of 6a, when the hydrogen migrates to the 2nd carbocation to form a tertiary carbocation the methanol will promove an E1 reaction with the vecinal carbons and form two eliminations products. See picture 2 for mechanism of reaction.

When 32 grams of aluminum react, the actual yield is 105.5 grams, what is the percent yield?
user100 [1]

Answer:

329.7%

Explanation:

Percent Yield = Actual Yield/ Theoretical Yield x 100%

Percent Yield = 105.5g/32 x 100% = 329.69 ≈ 329.7 %

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A weak acid and a strong base will form a basic salt.

Option A is acidic, this pH would be found in salts formed from reactions between strong acids and weak bases.

B and C are neutral or close to neutral and as such will be formed from weak acids and weak bases, or strong acids and strong bases.

The radioactive decay of unstable isotopes continually generates new energy within Earth's crust and mantle, providing the primary source of the heat that drives mantle convection. Plate tectonics can be viewed as the surface expression of mantle convection.
