Draw the structural formula of the major product of the reaction of (S)-2,2,3-trimethyloxirane with MeOH, H . Use the wedge/hash

bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. Include H atoms at chiral centers only. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an <u>epoxide opening in acid medium</u>. The first step then is the <u>protonation of the oxygen</u>. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most <u>stable carbocation</u>. The nucleophile (CH_3OH) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is <u>deprotonated</u> to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule <u>(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Alla [95]

Answer:

  • CO₃²⁻ +  H₂O <---------------->  HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
  • The chemical formula of the precipitate is Fe(OH)₃

Explanation:

  • Fe(NO₃)₃ and K₂CO₃ are strong electrolytes and completely dissociate in water. Carbonate ions is a weak base and combine with water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻), CO₃²⁻ +  H₂O <---------------->  HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
  • Ferric, Fe (III), combines with these hydroxide ions to form insoluble precipitates. Fe(OH)₃ is only partially soluble i.e., it does not completely dissociate in water. When the solutions of Fe(NO₃)₃ and K₂CO₃ are mixed, Fe(OH)₃ precipitates out due to the strong electrostatic attraction between Fe (III) and hydroxide ions.

An atom has a nucleus that has mass and volume. How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the atom? How does the v
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the nucleus is almost the same as the atom because a majority of the mass of an atom is stored in the nucleus.

The volume of an atom is larger than the nucleus. The nucleus is a tiny, concentrated area inside of the atom. Atoms are mostly empty space inside.
