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.

when a solution of sodium chloride is added to a solution of copper(ii) nitrate, no precipitate is observed. Write the molexular

zhuklara [117]

Explanation:

Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl(aq) --> CuCl2(aq) + 2NaNO3(aq)

Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaOH(aq) --> Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

A light blue precipitate of Cu(OH)2 is formed and NaNO3 in solution.

Cu(NO3)2(aq) --> Cu2+(aq) + 2NO3^-2(aq)

2NaOH(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)

Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) --> Cu(OH)2(aq)

2Na+(aq) + 2NO3^-2(aq) --> 2NaNO3(aq)

The reaction in both Questions 1 and 2 is called Double displacement reaction. A double-replacement reaction exchanges the cations and/or or the anions of two ionic compounds. A precipitation reaction is a double-replacement reaction in which one product is a solid precipitate (precipitated) while the other in solution.

Since the cation and anions in Qustion 1 were exchanged, the same was done for Question 2, hence the identity of the precipitate in Question 2 was got.

Which relationship or statement best describes delta s for the following reaction:

zalisa [80]

Answer:

b) Delta S < 0

Explanation:

The change in the entropy (ΔS) is related to the change in the number of gaseous moles of the reaction: Δn(g) = n(g, products) - n(g, reactants).

If Δn(g) > 0, the entropy increases (ΔS > 0).

If Δn(g) < 0, the entropy decreases (ΔS < 0).

If Δn(g) = 0, there is little or no change in the entropy

Let's consider the following equation.

2 H₂S(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g)

Δn(g) = 2 - 5 = - 3. Since Δn(g) < 0, the entropy decreases and ΔS < 0.

Why are bubbles and precipitates both signs of chemical change

BartSMP [9]

Answer:(I didn’t really know where to Wrigh-)

Explanation: Gas bubbles appear after a chemical reaction has occurred and the mixture becomes saturated with gas. The chemical change that creates the gas is completed after the gas bubbles leave the mixture.
