What compound is formed when 2,2-dimethyloxirane (2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane) is treated with ethanol containing sulfuric acid

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol

Explanation:

On this reaction, we have an "epoxide" (2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane). Additionally, we have acid medium (due to the sulfuric acid $H_2SO_4$ ). The acid medium will produce the hydronium ion ( $H^+$ ). This ion would be attacked by the oxygen of the epoxide. Then a carbocation would be produced, in this case, the most stable carbocation is the tertiary one. Then an ethanol molecule acts as a nucleophile and will attack the carbocation. Finally, a deprotonation step takes place to produce 2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol.

See figure 1

When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer ; The correct answer is : 346 m/s .

Sound is a type of longitudinal wave , which is produced when a matter compress or refracts .

Speed of sounds depends on factors like medium , density , temperature etc .

Effect of Temperature on speed of sounds :

When the temperature increases , molecules gains energy and they starts vibrating and with higher temperature vibration becomes fast . So the waves of sounds can travel faster due to faster vibrations . Hence , speed of sounds is directly proportional to the temperature or speed of sounds increases with increase in temperature .

The speed of sounds at 0⁰C is 331 $\frac{m}{s}$
