When heated, allyl aryl ethers and allyl vinyl ethers undergo a reaction called a Claisen rearrangement, a concerted reorganizat
ion of bonding electrons similar to the Diels-Alder reaction. The reaction proceeds through a six-membered, cyclic transition state.Draw the structure of the expected product when this compound undergoes a Claisen rearrangement.For the purposes of this problem, assume that double bonds in an aromatic ring are localized at the positions indicated in the figure
1 answer:
In this case, we assume that the starting compound is phenol which become in phenoxide due to reaction with sodium hydride. Sodium ohenoxide reacts with 3-bromo-1-propene to obtain the allyl aryl ether: allyl phenylether.
The allyl aryl ether undergoes Claisen reanrrangement when is heat between 200 and 250 celsius grades obtaining o-allyl phenol.

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.
Given:
The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.
To find:
The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.
Solution:
- The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
- The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K
The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:
The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy
- The potential energy at height h =
- Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
- Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m
- The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
- The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
- The potential energy is given by:
The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.
