Answer: The major product of the reaction between Hydrobromic Acid and 2-bromo-1-butene in the presence of ether and acid is 2,2-dibromobutane.
Explanation:
The mechanism of the reaction is supported by the Markovnikov's rule which explains that in the addition reaction of alkenes by hydrogen-halogen compounds, the incoming halogen substituent goes to the more substituted Carbon. It can also be stated that incoming hydrogen atom goes to the Carbon with more Hydrogen atoms.
The only case when the reverse of Markovnikov's rule takes place is when Hydrogen peroxide is present and the addition reagent is HBr.
This case is not like that and it simply follows the Markovnikov's rule.
I'll add an attachment of the reaction to this now.
Answer:
<u>STEP I</u>
This is the balanced equation for the given reaction:-
<u>STEP II</u>
The compounds marked with (aq) are soluble ionic compounds. They must be
broken into their respective ions.
see, in the equation KOH, H2SO4, and K2SO4 are marked with (aq).
On breaking them into their respective ions :-
- 2KOH -> 2K+ + 2OH-
- H2SO4 -> 2H+ + (SO4)2-
- K2SO4 -> 2K+ + (SO4)2-
<u>STEP III</u>
Rewriting these in the form of equation
<u>STEP </u><u>IV</u>
Canceling spectator ions, the ions that appear the same on either side of the equation
<em>(note: in the above step the ions in bold have gotten canceled.)</em>
This is the net ionic equation.
____________________________
- KOH has been taken as aqueous because the question informs us that we have a solution of KOH. by solution it means that KOH has been dissolved in water before use.
[Alkali metal hydroxides are the only halides soluble in water ]
If I am correct the answer would be iron and nickel.
The color changes to a blue green color because of the acidity/pH in water. Example is the statue of liberty
