Dehydration is removal of water.

In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.

In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].

The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.

The process or mechanism can be understood as:


so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene

A 225 g sample of an unknown solid is heated 67C and placed into a calorimeter containing 25.6 g of water at 15.6°c. If the fina

Answer:

= 1.271 J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat released by the metal sample will be equivalent to the heat absorbed by  water.

But heat = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change

Thus;

Heat released by the solid;

= 225 g × c ×(67 -53) , where c is the specific heat capacity of the metal

= 3150 c joules

Heat absorbed by water;

= 25.6 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (53-15.6)

= 4002.0992  joules

Therefore;

3150 c joules = 4002.0992 joules

c =4002.0992/3150

 <u> = 1.271 J/g°C</u>

I am having trouble converting :(
Elza [17]

Answer:

For the first question, to determine the total number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide, first make use of the molar mass of the nonpolar compound and then use that to find the total number of moles and then subsequently after make use of the ratio for the Avogadro's number to determine the total number of molecules of this compound.

For the final question, do the inverse, where we make use of the molecules of the compound and then use Avogadro's number to determine the moles of the compound and then use the same molar mass of the compound to determine the grams of the Nitrogen Dioxide.
