Reasons why a 100% yield is not obtained in actual chemical manufacturing processes may be;

- The reactor has a certain capacity to produce a certain yield

- There is a limiting reactant that runs out and the reaction can not proceed any further

It may also be because the reaction is reversible or because of loses of desired product during isolation and purification.

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

vladimir1956 [14]

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
