acid-catalyzed hydration of 1-methylcyclohexene gives two alcohols. The major product does not undergo oxidation, while the mino
r product will undergo oxidation. Explain
1 answer:
Answer:
Major product does not undergo oxidation since it is a tertiary alcohol whereas minor product undergoes oxidation to ketone as it is secondary alcohol.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the attached picture, the hydration of the 1 methylcyclohexene yields to alcohols; 1-methylcyclohexan-1-ol and 1-methylcyclohexan-2-ol. Thus, since the OH in the 1-methylcyclohexan-1-ol (major product) is bonded to a tertiary carbon (bonded with other three carbon atoms) it is not able to increase the number of oxygen bonds (oxidation) as it already attained the octet whereas the 1-methylcyclohexan-2-ol (minor product) is able to undergo oxidation to ketone as the carbon bonded to it is secondary (bonded with other two carbon atoms), so one extra bond the oxygen is allowed to be formed to carbonyl.
Best regards.

Answer : The correct option is (d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH
Explanation :
<u>(a) a solution of pH 3.0</u>
First we have to calculate the pOH.
Now we have to calculate the concentration.
Thus, the concentration is,
<u>(b) a solution of 0.10 M </u>
As we know that 1 mole of is a weak base. So, in a solution it will not dissociates completely.
So, the concentration will be less than 0.10 M
<u>(c) a solution with a pOH of 12.</u>
We have to calculate the concentration.
Thus, the concentration is,
<u>(d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH</u>
As we know that is a strong base. So, it dissociates to give
ion and
ion.
So, 0.10 M of in a solution dissociates to give 0.10 M of
ion and 0.10 M of
ion.
Thus, the concentration is, 0.10 M
<u>(e) a solution of
</u>
As we know that 1 mole of in a solution dissociates to give 1 mole of
ion and 1 mole of
ion.
So, of
in a solution dissociates to give
of
ion and
of
ion.
The concentration of ion is
First we have to calculate the pH.
Now we have to calculate the pOH.
Now we have to calculate the concentration.
Thus, the concentration is,
From this we conclude that, a solution of 0.10 M NaOH possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions.
Hence, the correct option is (d)
