Treatment of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol with bromine in cold acetic acid gives the compound C18H29BrO in quantitative yield. The

infrared spectrum of this compound contains absorptions at 1630 and 1655 cm^-1. Its 1H NMR spectrum shows only three peaks (all singlets), at δ 1.2, 1.3, and 6.9, in the ratio 9:18:2. What is a reasonable structure for the compound?

Answer:

2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone

Explanation:

1. Information from the formulas

C₁₈H₃₀O ⟶ C₁₈H₂₉BrO

A Br has replaced an H.

2. Information from the reaction

These look like the conditions for an electrophilic aromatic substitution.

3. Possible mechanism (Fig. 1)

The product must be highly symmetrical, because there are so few NMR signals.

(i) The bromonium ion attacks at the para position, forming a resonance-stabilized carbocation intermediate.

(ii) A bromide ion attacks the H of the hydroxyl group to form 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone.

4. Confirmatory evidence (Fig. 2)

(a) Infrared  

1630 cm⁻¹:  C=O stretch

1655 cm⁻¹ : C=C stretch

(b)NMR

1.2 (9h, s):    the 4-tert-butyl group

1.3 (18H, s): the 2- and 6- tert- butyl groups

6.9 (2H, s):    the alkene H atoms

The ratio is 9:18:2.

Explain what is meant by the phrase 'the heat death of the universe."
Vikki [24]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Are you literally posting your entire you chemistry homework on this site, one question at a time? Anyways, the heat death refers to the second law of thermodynamics and entropy. Heat is constantly flowing from warmer to cooler objects and never the other way around. This heat flow increases entropy, which is constantly increasing. The universe will eventually disperse all of its heat energy away to continuously increase entropy and reach a limit as the temperature reaches 0 K at which point all molecular motion will cease and so will the life of the universe.

What mass of sucrose needs to be dissolved in 540 g of water in order to prepare a 15% by mass solution.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

95.3g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 540g

Percentage by mass of solution = 15%

Unknown:

Mass of sucrose = ?

Solution;

To solve this problem, we must understand that a solution is made up of solute dissolved in a solvent. A solute is the solid dissolved in another. The solvent is the is dissolving medium;

    Percentage by mass of solute in solution = \frac{Mass of solute}{Mass of solution}  x 100

Mass of solution  = mass of water + Mass of sucrose  = 540 + M

  where M is the mass of sucrose;

therefore;

                 \frac{M}{540 + M }  x 100   = 15

   Solving for M gives 95.3g

Mass of sucrose is 95.3g

The fact that water requires a large amount of energy before its temperature changes is the result of
dolphi86 [110]
The appropriate answer is d. the high specific heat capacity of water. This unique quality of water makes it suitable as an organic solvent. Specific heat capacity is the energy required to change one gram of a substance by one degree. Organic processes need to be carried out at a specific temperature. The high specific heat capacity of water ensures that environmental changes in temperature.
