Answer:

2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol

Explanation:

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

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

What is a possible quantum number set for an electron in the 2s orbital of a beryllium (Be) atom?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer is: 2,0,0,±1/2.

1) n = 1. The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.

2) l = 0. The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

3) ml = 0. Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.

Magnetic quantum number (ml) specifies the orientation in space of an orbital of a given energy and shape . Magnetic quantum number divides the subshell into individual orbitals which hold the electrons, there are 2l+1 orbitals in each subshell.  

4) The spin quantum number, ms, is the spin of the electron; ms = +1/2 or -1/2.
