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.

The following information is given for benzene, C6H6, at 1atm: boiling point = 80.1 °C Hvap(80.1 °C) = 30.7 kJ/mol specific heat
user100 [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The heat required for the process is 4.24 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of benzene = 24.8 g

Molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of benzene}=\frac{24.8g}{78.11g/mol}=0.318mol

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

n = number of moles = 0.318 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction  = 30.7 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

30.7kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.318mol}\\\\q=(30.7kJ/mol\times 0.318mol)=4.24kJ

Hence, the heat required for the process is 4.24 kJ

Select True or False: Pi bonds are covalent bonds in which the electron density is concentrated above and below a plane containi
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In pi bonds, the electron density concentrates itself between the atoms of the compound but are present on either side of the line joining the atoms. Electron density is found above and below the plane of the line joining the internuclear axis of the two atoms involved in the bond.

Pi bonds usually occur by sideways overlap of atomic orbitals and this leads to both double and triple bonds.

What coefficients are needed to balance the following equation?<br><br> H2O + Fe Fe2O3 + H2
earnstyle [38]
H2O+Fe⇒Fe2O3+H2

When it is balanced it would be:

3H2O+2Fe⇒Fe2O3+3H2

When balancing equations, you have to make sure that all elements are equal on each side.
