What does the lab say because then i can help :)
Pioneer Community would that be?
Answer:
The major product is 2-methyl-2-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ ] and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ ].
Explanation:
Dehydration reaction is a reaction in which a molecule loses a water molecule in the presence of a dehydrating agent like sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).
<u>Dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-2-pentanol</u> gives a major product 2-methyl-2-pentene and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene.
CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)₂-OH (2-methyl-2-pentanol)→ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ (2-methyl-2-pentene, major) + CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ (2-methyl-1-pentene, minor)
<u>Since more substituted alkene is more stable than the less substituted alkene. So, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is more stable than the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene.</u>
<u>Therefore, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is the major product and the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene is the minor product.</u>
To determine the concentration of one solution which is specifically basic or acidic solution through taking advantage on its points of equivalence, titration analysis is done.
Let us determine the reaction for the titration below:
2NaOH +2H2SO4 = Na2SO4 +2H2O
So,
0.0665 mol NaOH (2 mol H2SO4/ 2mol NaOH) / .025 L solution
= 2.62 M H2SO4
The answer is the fourth option:
