What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?
1 answer:
Answer:
a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol
b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol
Explanation:
For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>
In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.
For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

Here is the complete question.
Benzalkonium Chloride Solution ------------> 250ml
Make solution such that when 10ml is diluted to a total volume of 1 liter a 1:200 is produced.
Sig: Dilute 10ml to a liter and apply to affected area twice daily
How many milliliters of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution would be needed to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride?
(A) 1700 mL
(B) 29.4 mL
(C) 17 mL
(D) 294 mL
Answer:
(B) 29.4 mL
Explanation:
1 L = 1000 mL
1:200 solution implies the in 200 mL solution.
200 mL of solution = 1g of Benzalkonium chloride
1000 mL will be
200mL × 1g = 1000 mL × x(g)
x(g) =
x(g) = 0.2 g
That is to say, 0.2 g of benzalkonium chloride in 1000mL of diluted solution of 1;200 is also the amount in 10mL of the stock solution to be prepared.
∴
y(g) =
y(g) = 5g of benzalkonium chloride.
Now, at 17% concentrate contains 17g/100ml:
∴ the number of milliliters of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution that is needed to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride will be;
=
z(mL) =
z(mL) = 29.41176 mL
≅ 29.4 mL
Therefore, there are 29.4 mL of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution that is required to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride
