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.

Two gases, A and B, are at equilibrium in a sealed cylinder. Individually, gas A is colorless, while gas B is dark colored. The

Answer:

(a) color

(b) endothermic

(c)

b The ΔH value would have the same magnitude value but opposite sign.

c The K expression would be inverted.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

A(g) ⇄ 2 B(g)

colorless dark colored

(a) The cylinder should appear (color or colorless)

At equilibrium, there is a mixture of A and B, so the cylinder should appear colored.

(b) When the system is cooled, the cylinder's appearance becomes very light colored. Therefore, the reaction must be (endothermic or exothermic)

According to Le Chatelier's Principle when a perturbation is made to a system at equilibrium it will react to counteract such effect. When the system is cooled, it will tend to increase the temperature by releasing heat. In this case, the reaction is endothermic so when the reverse reaction is favored, colorless A is favored as well.

Suppose the reaction equation were written as follows: 2 B(g) ⇄ A(g)

(c) Which of these statements would then be true?

a The value of K would not change. FALSE. The new K would be the inverse of the direct K.

b The ΔH value would have the same magnitude value but opposite sign. TRUE. This is stated by Lavoisier-Laplace Law.

c The K expression would be inverted. TRUE. What was product before now is reactant and vice-versa.

d The color of the cylinder would be darker. FALSE. Changing the way the reaction is expressed has no effect on the equilibrium.

Calculate the mass in grams of NaCl required to prepare 0.500 L of a 0.500 M solution.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

14.61 g NaCl

Explanation:

Molarity = moles / volume of solution (litres)

0.500 = moles / 0.500 L

moles = 0.25

Molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g NaCl /1 mol NaCl.

0.25 moles NaCl x 58.44 g NaCl /1 mol NaCl

= 14.61 g NaCl

Answer:

<h3> $\huge{ \underline{ \underline { \bold{ \sf{ \orange{See \: below}}}}}}$ </h3>

Explanation:

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \blue{Chemical \: reaction}}}}$

⇒The composition , decomposition or displacement of molecules of matter during chemical change is called chemical reaction.

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{ \: Further \: more \: explanation}}}}$

Various conditions bring about these changes. The chemical reactions are represented by chemicalequation. The compounds or elements that take part in chemical reaction are called reactant. They are written at the left side of an arrow that represent a change while the compound or elements that formed after the chemical change are called product. They are written at the right side of the arrow.

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{For \: example}}}}$
