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 the empirical formula for a compound that is 43.6% phosphorus
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

d.   P2O5.

Explanation:

We find the ratio of the atoms by dividing the percentages by the relative atomic masses:

P :  43.6 / 30.974 = 1.4076

O:  56.4 / 15.999 =  3.5252

1.4076 : 3.5252

= 1 : 2.5

= 2:5.

So the answer is P2O5.

If you have 3 moles of CH4 , how many moles of CO2 are produced?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Since you are producing 3.6 mol CO2, you can calculate the starting moles of CH4 with the simple mole-to-mole ratio: 1 mol CH4 / 1 mol CO2 as a conversion factor. Taking 3.6 mol CO2 x 1 mol CH4 / 1 mol CO2 = 3.6 mol CH4 (after canceling out the moles of CO2 on the top and bottom of the calculation)
