Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.

Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.

First, all what we have here is an acid  base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.

In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.

See picture 2, for mechanism

Which group on the periodic table is the most reactive
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Group 7 or the Halogens

Explanation:

The halogens occupies the 7th group on the periodic table. The group is made of F, Cl , Br, I and At.

The elements in this group are the most reactive of all elements. They are very reactive because they have just 7 electrons in their outermost shell and they only require an electron to complete their electronic configuration to produce an octet which typically mimics the stable group VIII elements.

This makes them very highly reactive.

Answer:

236 g/mol

Explanation:

This question is asking to calculate the molar mass/formula mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate with the chemical formula: Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20. This is done as follows:

Atomic mass of the constituent elements are as follows:

Ca = 40

N = 14

O = 16

H = 1

Hence, in Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20.

= 40 + {14 + 16(3)}2 + 4 {1(2) + 16}

= 40 + {14 + 48}2 + 4{2 + 16}

= 40 + {62}2 + 4{18}

= 40 + 124 + 72

= 236

Hence, the molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20 is 236g/mol.
