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.

Pu is a nuclear waste byproduct with a half-life of 24,000 y. What fraction of the 239Pu present today will be present in 1000 y

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

0.9715 Fraction of Pu-239 will be remain after 1000 years.

Explanation:

$\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$A=A_o\times e^{-\lambda t}$

Where:

$\lambda$ = decay constant

$A_o$ =concentration left after time t

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = Half life of the sample

Half life of Pu-239 = $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=24,000 y$ [

$\lambda =\frac{0.693}{24,000 y}=2.8875\times 10^{-5} y^{-1]$

Let us say amount present of Pu-239 today = $A_o=x$

A = ?

$A=x\times e^{-2.8875\times 10^{-5} y^{-1]\times 1000 y}$

$A=0.9715\times x$

$\frac{A}{A_0}=\frac{A}{x}=0.9715$

0.9715 Fraction of Pu-239 will be remain after 1000 years.

wolverine [178]

The glow emitted by a substance exposed to external radiation is called 'fluorescence'. In fluorescence, a fluorophore is exposed to external radiation, absorbs the energy and emits a form of light or glow. The answer to this question is 'fluorescence'. I hope this helps.
