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

Chemistry
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
3 0

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!

The term "periodic" helps identify __________ that occur in the table, like electronegativity or atomic radii.
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

option C= patterns

Explanation:

The periodic table is helpful to identify the element readily. All the elements are arranged properly. The elements with same physical and chemical properties are placed in same group and period. Periodic table is also helpful to predict the properties of those elements which are not discovered yet. This table is also very helpful to balance the chemical equations. The horizontal rows are called periods while vertical column are called groups. There are seven periods and eighteen groups are in periodic table.

Trends in periodic table:

As we move left to right in a period the atomic radius is decreases with increase of atomic number. The ionization energy goes to increases from left to right in period because of greater hold of nuclear charge on valance electron, so that's way more energy is required to overcome this charge and to make the atom ionic.

From left to right in period electron affinity and electronegativity also increases.

As we move top to bottom in group ionization energy decreases with increase of atomic number  because of large atomic radius. The valance electron require less energy to move free. The electron affinity and electronegativity also decreases from top to bottom.

1. How many grams would 8.1 x 1021 molecules of sucrose (C12H22011)<br> weigh?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Mass = 4.6 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of sucrose = 8.1 ×10²¹ molecules

Mass of sucrose = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles by using Avogadro number.

1 mole × 8.1 ×10²¹ molecules / 6.022×10²³ molecules

1.35 × 10⁻² mol

Mass of sucrose:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass = 342.3 g/mol

Mass = 1.35 × 10⁻² mol ×342.3 g/mol

Mass = 462.1  × 10⁻² g

Mass = 4.6 g
