Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an "anti-Markovnikov" reaction. This means that the "OH" will be added at the least substituted carbon of the double bond.

In the case of 2-methyl-2-butene, 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 the "OH" will be added to carbon three producing 3-methylbutan-2-ol.

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 the "OH" will be added to carbon 2 producing 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol.

See figure 1

Consider the following reaction: . SO2Cl2(g)⇌SO2(g)+Cl2(g) . A reaction mixture is made containing an initial [SO2Cl2] of 2.2×10

Alex Ar [27]

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is the product of the equilibrium concentrations of the products raised to their corresponding stoichiometric coefficients divided by the reactants as well. In this case the equilibrium concentration of Cl2 which also applies to SO2 is 1.3x10^-2. The final equilibrium concentration of SO2Cl2 is 9x10^-3. Kc is then equal to 0.0188.

State the Periodic Law. Why is it so important in the study of chemistry?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Summary. To summarize, the periodic table is important because it is organized to provide a great deal of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.

Which of the alternative energy sources do you think would have the least impact on the environment.

QveST [7]

Solar Power, Microbial fuel cell. These two and I am sure other ways as well Solar power as you guess use the sun as a power energy source with non-waste and long lasting use. Microbial fuel uses the bacteria aka decomposers turn the sugars, nutrients into rich soil while also releasing electrons back into the soil and can be used as a energy source.

Which answer is correct for the question below? Why would number Two be incorrect?

Lapatulllka [165]

It would be 4 because the graph is showing the impact of heat on the enzyme not the pH. The pH in this instant is the constant and the graph does not indicate what a change in pH would do, only what a change in temperature would do.
