Answer:

(R)-but-3-en-2-ylbenzene

Explanation:

In this reaction, we have a very <u>strong base</u> (<em>sodium ethoxide</em>). This base, will remove a hydrogen producing a double bond. We know that the reaction occurs through an <u>E2 mechanism</u>, therefore, the hydrogen that is removed must have an <u>angle of 180º</u> with respect to the leaving group (the "OH"). This is known as the <u>anti-periplanar configuration</u>.

The hydrogen that has this configuration is the one that placed with the <u>dashed bond</u> (<em>red hydrogen</em>). In such a way, that the base will remove this hydrogen, the "OH" will leave the molecule and a double bond will be formed between the methyl and the carbon that was previously attached to the "OH", producing the molecule (R) -but-3- en-2-ylbenzene.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a)

Explanation:

The temperature of 525 K, so to identify which is the state of a substance, we need to now the melting and the boiling point of it, which can be found in thermodynamic tables. To be liquid, the melting point must be less than 525 K (so the substance is not a solid anymore), and the boiling point must be higher than 525 K (so the substance doesn't go to gas).

Substance      Melting point at 1 atm (K)    Boiling point  at 1 atm(K)    

Bi                          544.7                                       1837                    

Pt                          2041.4                                    4098                    

Se                           494                                        958                    

Ca                           1115                                        1757                  

Cu                          1357.77                                 2835

Thus, when pressure increase, the melting point decrease, so, if the pressure is little higher than 1 atm, then bismuth can be found as a liquid at 525 K. The others would need a higher pressure to be liquid at 525 K.
