Answer:
(1) addition of HBr to 2-methyl-2-pentene
Explanation:
In this case, we will have the formation of a <u>carbocation</u> for each molecule. For molecule 1 we will have a <u>tertiary carbocation</u> and for molecule 2 we will have a <u>secondary carbocation</u>.
Therefore the <u>most stable carbocation</u> is the one produced by the 2-methyl-2-pentene. So, this molecule would react faster than 4-methyl-1-pentene. (See figure)
Answer:
ΔS = -661.0J/mol is the entropy change for the system
ΔS = -842J/mol.K is the entropy change for the surroundings
Explanation:
From the relationship between ΔG, T, ΔH and ΔS,
Mathematically, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
TΔS = ΔH - ΔS
ΔS = ΔH - ΔS / T
but ΔG = -54 kJ/mol, ΔH = -251 kJ/mol and T = 25 °C (298 K)
plugging into the equation,
ΔS = -251 kJ/mol - ( -54 kJ/mol) / 298
ΔS = -0.6610KJ/mol or in J.mol
ΔS = -661.0J/mol is the entropy change for the system
- For entropy change for the surroundings = ΔS = ΔH/T
- ΔS = -0.84KJ/mol.K or -842J/mol.K is the entropy change for the surroundings
