Neopentyl alcohol, (ch3)3cch2oh, cannot be dehydrated to an alkene without rearrangement. what is the chief product of dehydrati

on?

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

Why boron trifluoride is nonpolar and sulphur dioxide is polar
ella [17]

it small because that bond is not very polar notice that all of those arrows they cancel. because they point in opposite directions. that's why BH 3 is nonpolar if we were to draw the Lewis structure of bf3. ... so even though the boron fluorine bond is polar the molecule as a whole is nonpolar.

Calculate the poh of this solution. round to the nearest hundredth. ph = 1.90 poh =
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The answer is 5.10

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>
  • pH = 1.9
<h3><u>To </u><u>Find</u>;</h3>
  • pOH = ?

We know that

pH + pOH = 7

pOH = 7 – pH

pOH = 7 – 1.90

pOH = 5.10

Thus, The pOH of the solution is 5.10

What mass of aluminum is produced by the decomposition of 5.0 kg al2o3?
Nina [5.8K]
The  mass for  of aluminum that is produced  by  the decomposition  of  5.0 Kg Al2O3 is 2647 g or 2.647  Kg

          calculation
  Write  the equation for decomposition  of Al2O3

Al2O3 = 2Al  + 3 O2

find the  moles  of  Al2O3 =  mass/molar mass

convert  5 Kg  to g   = 5 x1000 = 5000 grams
molar mass of  Al2O3 =  27 x2 + 16 x3  = 102 g/mol

 moles =5000 g/  102 g/mol = 49.0196 moles

by use  of mole ratio between Al2O3 to  Al  which is 1:2  the moles of Al = 49.0196 x2 =98.0392  moles


mass of  Al = moles x molar  mass

= 98.0392 moles x  27g/mol = 2647  grams  or 2647/1000 = 2.647 Kg
