Which of the following is the major product in the electrophilic addition of HCl to (3S)-2,3-dimethylpent-1-ene?
1 answer:
Answer:
(3S)-2-chloro-2,3-dimethylpentane is produced exclusively.
Explanation:
Electrophilic addition to (3S)-2,3-dimethylpent-1-ene proceeds through a carbocationic intermediate.
In the first step, adds onto double bond to produce more stable tertiary carbocation. (protonation)
In the second step, adds onto carbocation to produce (3S)-2-chloro-2,3-dimethylpentane exclusively.(nucleophilic addition)
So, option (d) is correct.

When 440.23 grams of iron(III) oxide are reacted with hydrogen gas, the amount of iron produced will be 307.66 grams
<h3>Stoichiometric calculation</h3>From the equation of the reaction:
The mole ratio of iron(III) oxide to produced iron is 1:2.
Mole of 440.23 iron(III) oxide = 440.23/159.69 = 2.76 moles
Equivalent mole of produced iron = 2.76 x 2 = 5.52 moles
Mass of 5.52 moles of iron = 5.52 x 55.8 = 307.66 grams
