C. It is decreased by a factor of 3.
An increase in the temperature will speed up the reaction by increasing the frequency and efficiency of the collisions of molecules.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The question is incomplete because the image of the alcohol is missing. However, I will try give you a general picture of the reaction known as hydroboration of alkenes.
This reaction occurs in two steps. In the first step, -BH2 and H add to the same face of the double bond (syn addition).
In the second step, alkaline hydrogen peroxide is added and the alcohol is formed.
Note that the BH2 and H adds to the two atoms of the double bond. The final product of the reaction appears as if water was added to the original alkene following an anti-Markovnikov mechanism.
Steric hindrance is known to play a major role in this reaction as good yield of the anti-Markovnikov like product is obtained with alkenes having one of the carbon atoms of the double bond significantly hindered.
