Answer:

1) positive

2) carbocation

3) most stable

4) faster

Explanation:

A common test for the presence of alcohols can be achieved using the Lucas reagent. Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride.

The reaction of Lucas reagent reacts with alcohols leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride. Since the reaction proceeds via a carbocation mechanism, tertiary alcohols give an immediate reaction. Once a tertiary alcohol is mixed with Lucas reagent, the solution turns cloudy almost immediately indicating an instant positive reaction.

Secondary alcohols may turn cloudy within five minutes of mixing the solutions. Primary alcohols do not significantly react with Lucas reagent obviously because they do not form stable carbocations.

Therefore we can use the Lucas reagent to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

3 Na2O(aq) + 2 Al(NO3)3(aq) ----> _ Compound A + _ Compound B
Olin [163]
3Na2O(at) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq) —> 6NaNO3(aq) + Al2O3(s)

This is a double replacement reaction and NaNO3 is aqueous because Na is an alkali metal, plus nitrate is in the solution. Both of these are soluble. Al2O3 is not soluble because it does not contain any element that is soluble and is hence the precipitate.

What is the [H+] in a solution with pOH of 0.253?
sergey [27]
PH + pOH = 14

pH + 0.253 = 14

pH = 14 - 0.253

pH = 13.747

[ H+] = 10 ^ -pH

[ H+ ] = 10 ^- 13.747

[ H+ ] = 1.790x10⁻¹⁴ M
