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

I hope it helps!

Answer:

CuBr₂(aq) + Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → Cu(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + PbBr₂ (s)↓

Explanation:

We identify the reactants:

CuBr₂ and Pb(CH₃COO)₂

The products will be: Cu(CH₃COO)₂ and PbBr₂

You may know these information:

Salts from acetate are soluble.

Bromide can make solid salts with these cations: Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Cu⁺

PbBr₂ is formed, so this will be our precipitate

The equation is:

CuBr₂(aq) + Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → Cu(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + PbBr₂ (s)↓

Which of the following is not an example of a polymer?

Nady [450]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It is amino acid that is not an example of a polymer. It is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits. Hope this answers the question.

A 20 N object is placed on a surface and starts to slide. What is the MOST likely reason the object begins to move?

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the object starts to slide it must be on a slope.

There are 2 forces acting on the object - gravity and the friction between the object and the surface.

If sliding starts then the forces must be unbalanced.

The force of gravity is greater than the friction.
