When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr

eated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the more substituted position. Explain the difference in regiochemistry in terms of a competition between steric effects and electronic effects. (Hint: It may help to draw out the structure of the phenyl group.)

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.

HURRY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:


When <em>a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather, the result</em>  expected is that <em>the hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon (option D).</em>


Explanation:


In the abscence of atmosphere (vacuum), the objects fall in free fall. This is, the only force acting on the objects is the gravitational pull, which is directed vertlcally downward.


Under such absecence of air, the equations that rules the motion are:


  • V = Vo + gt
  • d = Vo + gt² / 2
  • Vf² = Vo² + 2gd

As you see, all those equations are independent of the mass and shape of the object. This explains why <em>when an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather at the same time</em>, <em>the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon</em>, a space body where the gravitational attraction is so small (approximately 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration on Earth) that does not retain atmosphere.


On the other hand, the air (atmosphere) present in Earth  will exert a considerable drag force on the feather (given its shape and small mass), slowing it down, whereas, the effect of the air on the hammer is almost neglectable. In general and as an approximation, the motion of the heavy bodies that fall near the surface is ruled by the free fall equations shown above, so, <em>the result </em>that is<em> expected  when a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time is that the hammer hits the ground before the feather</em>.

Calculate the heat change involved when 2.00 L of water is heated from 20.0/C to 99.7/C in
IgorC [24]

Answer:

669.48 kJ

Explanation:

According to the question, we are required to determine the heat change involved.

We know that, heat change is given by the formula;

Heat change = Mass × change in temperature × Specific heat

In this case;

Change in temperature = Final temp - initial temp

                                       = 99.7°C - 20°C

                                       = 79.7° C

Mass of water is 2000 g ( 2000 mL × 1 g/mL)

Specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g°C

Therefore;

Heat change = 2000 g × 79.7 °C × 4.2 J/g°C

                      = 669,480 joules

But, 1 kJ = 1000 J

Therefore, heat change is 669.48 kJ

The immediate electron acceptor for the majority of the oxidative reactions of the citric acid cycle is.
Anna [14]

NAD serves as the bulk of the oxidative processes in the citric acid cycle's initial electron acceptor.

<h3>What are electron acceptors in citric acid cycle?</h3>
  • In the Krebs cycle, which transfers electrons via the electron transport chain with oxygen as the final acceptor, coenzymes like FAD and NAD+ are reduced.
  • In a single cycle, three NADH+ and one FADH2 are produced, and when the cycle enters the electron transport chain, 10 ATP is produced.
  • The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is oxygen. The proton gradient in the intermembrane gap is produced by NADH molecules donating electrons that are then transmitted through a number of different proteins.
<h3>What occurs throughout the citric acid cycle?</h3>

The cycle of citric acid: In the citric acid cycle, a six-carbon citrate molecule is created when an acetyl group from acetyl CoA is joined to a four-carbon oxaloacetate molecule.

Citrate is oxidized over a number of steps, generating two molecules of carbon dioxide for each acetyl group added to the cycle.

What is the volume that you should dilute 30mL of a 12.0M H2SO4 solution to obtain a 0.160M H2SO4 solution?
shutvik [7]
To solve this problem, the dilution equation (M1 x V1 = M2 X V2) must be used. The given values in the problem are M1= 12.0 M, V1= 30 mL, and M2= 0.160 M. To solve for V2,
V2=M1xV1/M2
V2= (12x30)/0.16
V2= 2,250 mL.
The correct answer is 2.25 L.
