The correct answer is A, since it is the only sensible answer.
Steps of a scientific investigation include identifying a research question or problem, forming a hypothesis, gathering evidence, analyzing evidence, deciding whether the evidence supports the hypothesis, drawing conclusions, and communicating the results.
Answer:
D. Two reactants combine to form one product
Explanation:
The definition of synthesis in chemistry is "the production of chemical compounds by reaction from simpler materials."
A is decomposition, B is DOUBLE replacement, and C is SINGLE replacement.
Answer:
See explanation and picture below
Explanation:
First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.
In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.
In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.
Answer:
Maintenance of homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops. These loops act to oppose the stimulus, or cue, that triggers them.
