Answer:

(Z)-(2-methylbut-1-en-1-yl)benzene

Explanation:

In the E2 elimination reaction, we will have a <u>single-step mechanism</u>. In this single step, we need an <u>anti-peri-planar geometry</u>. In other words, we need a specific configuration for the <u>leaving group</u> and the <u>H that would be removed</u>. These 2 atoms must have an opposite configuration when the base attacks the hydrogen.

With this in mind, we have to <u>rotate</u> the molecule in order to obtain the desired geometry (see figure). When we do this, the <u>methyl group</u> would be placed on <u>top</u> and the <u>ethyl group</u> at the <u>bottom</u>.  

Finally, when the elimination takes place (<u>blue arrows</u>) the configuration of the final alkene would be "Z" due to the previous rotation that we did in order to obtain the correct configuration for the elimination.

 <span>You have to use a Newman projection to make sure that the H on C#2 is anti-coplanar with the Br on C#1. (Those are the two things that are going to be eliminated to make the alkene.) 

My Newman projection looks like this when it's in the right configuration: 
Front carbon (C#2) has ethyl group straight up, H down/left, and CH3 down/right 
Back carbon (C#1) has H straight down, Ph up/left, and Br up/right. 

Then when you eliminate the H from C#2 and the Br from C#1, you will have Ph and the ethyl group on the same side of the molecule, and you'll have the remaining H and CH3 on the same side of the molecule. 

This is going to give you (Z)-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-butene.</span>

soldi70 [24.7K]

The first molecule is a sensible molecule having complete octet of each atom such as C, H and O whereas the second molecule having hydrogen present between the aldehyde and methyl group and thus showing hydrogen is making bond with aldehyde and methyl as well which is not possible because hydrogen only having one electron in its octet due to which it can only form a single bond by sharing its valence electron.

Select all statements that are correct:____
topjm [15]

Answer:

A, C and D are correct.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the vapor pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent as stated by the Raoult's law:

P_{vap}^{solution}=x_{solvent}P_{solvent}

Since the solute is not volatile, the mole fraction of the solute is not taken into account for vapor pressure of the solution, therefore A is correct whereas B is incorrect.

Moreover, since the higher the vapor pressure, the weaker the intermolecular forces due to the fact that less more molecules are like to change from liquid to vapor and therefore more energy is required for such change, we can evidence that both C and D are correct.

Best regards.
