Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
This reaction is known as Ketone hydrolisis in acid medium. This involves the formation of an hemi cetal, and then, the acetal. This is often used to convert ketones or aldehydes in ethers.
The first step involves the reaction with the acid. The carbonile reacts with the acid and forms an alcohol there. The next step is the reaction of the alcohol, in this case, the methanol to form the hemi cetal. Then in the third step, we repeat the first step, using acid to turn the OH group into a great leaving group such water. Then the water leaves the molecule, leaving the space wide open in the next step for methanol, and the acetal is formed.

Answer:
See the explanation
Explanation:
In this case, we have to keep in mind that in the monosubstituted product we only have to replace 1 hydrogen with another group. In this case, we are going to use the methyl group
.
In the axial position, we have a more steric hindrance because we have two hydrogens near to the
group. If we have <u>more steric hindrance</u> the molecule would be <u>more unstable</u>. In the equatorial positions, we don't <u>any interactions</u> because the
group is pointing out. If we don't have <u>any steric hindrance</u> the molecule will be <u>more stable</u>, that's why the molecule will <u>the equatorial position.</u>

The moles which were measured out is calculated using the following formula
moles = mass/molar mass
molar mass of CuBr2.4H20 = 63.5 Cu + ( 2 x79.9) br + ( 18 x4_) h20 = 295.3 g/mol
moles is therefore= 5.2 g/ 295.3 g/mol= 0.0176 moles
