The tosylate of (2R,3S)-3-phenylbutan-2-ol undergoes an E2 elimination on treatment with sodium ethoxide. Draw the structure of
the alkene that is produced.
1 answer:
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.

Answer:
v = 16.49 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of the string, l = 1.15 m
The ball makes 137 complete turns each minute.
We know that, 1 turn = 6.28 rad
137 turns = 860.79 rad
1 min = 60 s
We need to find the tangential velocity of the ball. It can be given by
So, the tangential velocity of the ball is 16.49 m/s.
Answer:- As per the question is asked, 35.0 moles of acetylene gives 70 moles of carbon dioxide but if we solve the problem using the limiting reactant which is oxygen then 67.2 moles of carbon dioxide will form.
Solution:- The balanced equation for the combustion of acetylene is:
From the balanced equation, two moles of acetylene gives four moles of carbon dioxide. Using dimensional analysis we could show the calculations for the formation of carbon dioxide by the combustion of 35.0 moles of acetylene.
=
The next part is, how we choose 35.0 moles of acetylene and not 84.0 moles of oxygen.
From balanced equation, there is 2:5 mol ratio between acetylene and oxygen. Let's calculate the moles of oxygen required to react completely with 35.0 moles of acetylene.
=
Calculations shows that 87.5 moles of oxygen are required to react completely with 35.0 moles of acetylene. Since only 84.0 moles of oxygen are available, the limiting reactant is oxygen, so 35.0 moles of acetylene will not react completely as it is excess reactant.
So, the theoretical yield should be calculated using 84.0 moles of oxygen as:
=
Answer: 24.1 L
Explanation:
To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
Mathematically,
where,
are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.
are the final volume and temperature of the gas.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus the volume of the sample when heated to 220.0oC and the pressure is constant is 24.1 L
