What type of reactive intermediate is formed in the reaction of an alkene with aqueous acid to give an alcohol?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mariana [72]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The intermediate is carbocation.

Explanation:

The reaction of alkene with an acid to give alcohol is an electrophilic addition reaction.

In electrophilic reaction, the alkene is being attacked by an alkene.

in case of aqueous acid reaction with alkene , the electrophile is [H⁺].

When the proton attacks the alkene it generates carbocation.

The carbocation generated is formed based on stability of carbocation.

The mechanism is shown in the figure.

Which of the following best describes how an ionic compound dissolves in water?
Nadusha1986 [10]

The statement that best describes how an ionic compound dissolves in water is as follows: it separates into individual molecules and is an electrolyte, which is option C.

<h3>What is an ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic compound is any compound is a chemical compound composed of ions (charged atoms) held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding.

Ionic compounds are electrolytes i.e. a substance when, in solution or when molten, ionizes and conducts electricity.

For example; sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound breaks down into sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ion (Cl-).

Therefore, the statement that best describes how an ionic compound dissolves in water is as follows: it separates into individual molecules and is an electrolyte.

Balance the following equation: H20 --&gt; H2 + O2​
MakcuM [25]

2H2O = 2H2 + O2.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Balancing equations is very essential because of the fact that it represents the stoichiometric quantities of the reactants needed to react to form the product. The ratio of the weights of reactant and product are also very well understood from this.

Here in this equation, the water is broken into hydrogen and oxygen. The balanced reaction is

2H2O = 2H2 + O2.

Two moles of water is broken down into 2 moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen.
