Compounds X and Y are both C6H13Cl compounds formed in the radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane. Both X and Y undergo base-pr

omoted E2 elimination to give a mixture of alkenes.In water X and Y each react to form a mixture of substitution and elimination products; however, X reacts much faster than does Y.What is the structure of Y?

Answer:

Y is a 3-chloro-3-methylpentane.

The structure is shown in the figure attached.

Explanation:

The radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane can lead to a tertiary substituted carbon (Y) and to a secondary one (X).

The E2 elimination mechanism, as shown in the figure, will happen with a simulyaneous attack from the base and elimination of the chlorine. This means that primary and secondary substracts undergo the E2 mechanism faster than tertiary substracts.

How many moles are in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate?
Svetlanka [38]

Hey there!

Magnesium chlorate: Mg(ClO₃)₂

Find molar mass.

Mg: 1 x 24.305 = 24.305

Cl: 2 x 35.453 = 70.906

O: 6 x 16 = 96

------------------------------------

                      191.211 g/mol

We have 187.54 grams.

187.54 ÷ 191.211 = 0.9808

There are 0.9808 moles in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate.

Hope this helps!
