Answer:

a) dissolving sugar in water to form a mixture of sugar and water

Explanation:

exothermic reaction is reaction in which is heat is released during the reaction and endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is needed or required for the reaction to take place

all the options excluding option A) is exothermic as during the process of formation of bonds in oxidation, heat is released. rusting too is a slow form of oxidation and thus an exothermic reaction.

dissolving sugar in water is not exothermic reaction because their is no heat released. the sugar molecules simply disperses in the water molecules and form a solution.

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?

zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an "anti-Markovnikov" reaction. This means that the "OH" will be added at the least substituted carbon of the double bond.

In the case of 2-methyl-2-butene, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore the "OH" will be added to carbon three producing 3-methylbutan-2-ol.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore the "OH" will be added to carbon 2 producing 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol.

See figure 1

A 2 L container contains 5 moles of helium gas at 0.5 atm. What is the temperature of the gas?

lara [203]

Answer:

2.44 K IS THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAS

Explanation:

PV = nRT

P = 0.5 atm

V = 2 L

n = 5 moles

R = 0.082 L atm mol^-1 K^-1

T = ?

Substituting for T in the equation, we obtain:

T = P V / nR

T = 0.5 * 2 / 5 * 0.082

T = 1 / 0.41

T = 2.44 K

The temperature of the gas is 2.44 K

The name of an alcohol side chain is known as an alkoxy group. True or false?

mylen [45]

By itself, i don’t think so.

though, paired with a hydrogen bond, it is.

If i’m wrong, please feel free to let me know :)
