Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
You are missing the structure, therefore, I will do an example with one that I found on another place to try to explain.
This acid mechanism always involves carbocations, and positive charges, never negative because we are in acidic mediums.
In the first step, the lone pairs of the oxigen from the epoxide, substract one hydrogen of the reactant.
Second step, the lone pairs of the oxygen from the reactant, do a nucleophylic attack to the carbon of the epoxide. In this case, it will do it to the most substitued carbon.
Then, in the third step by acid base equilibrium, the hydrogen from the reactant that attacked, is substracted from the molecule by a molecule of water (We are in acid medium, therefore, there is traces of water) and the final structure is formed.

Answer:- The hydroxide ion concentration of the solution is .
Solution:- The formula used to calculate pOH from hydroxide ion is:
When pOH is given and we are asked to calculate hydroxide ion concentration then we multiply both sides by negative sign and take antilog and what we get on doing this is:
pOH is given as 5.71 and we are asked to calculate hydrogen ion concentration. Let's plug in the given value in the formula:
= 0.00000195 or
So, the hydroxide ion concentration of the solution is .
Answer:
We need 0.375 mol of CH3OH to prepare the solution
Explanation:
For the problem they give us the following data:
Solution concentration 0,75 M
Mass of Solvent is 0,5Kg
knowing that the density of water is 1g / mL, we find the volume of water:
Now, find moles of are needed using the molarity equation:
therefore the solution is prepared using 0.5 L of H2O and 0.375 moles of CH3OH, resulting in a concentration of 0,75M
