One problem with elimination reactions is that mixtures of products are often formed. For example, treatment of 2-bromo-2-methyl

butane with KOH in ethanol yields a mixture of two alkene products. What are their likely structures?

Answer:

Structures are given below.

Explanation:

  • Treatment of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane with KOH in ethanol will give elimination of HBr through E2 mechanism.
  • H atoms adjacent to Br will be eliminated.
  • 2-bromo-2-methylbutane has two possible adjacent H atoms that can be eliminated giving mixture of products.
  • Product of this elimination reaction is alkene. Here saytzeff fule is followed during elimination. So most substituted alkene will be major product.
  • Structure of alkenes are given below.

What is the empirical formula of a compound composed of 3.25% hydrogen ( H ), 19.36% carbon ( C ), and 77.39% oxygen ( O ) by ma
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The answer to your question is C₂HO₃

Explanation:

Data

Hydrogen = 3.25%

Carbon = 19.36%

Oxygen = 77.39%

Process

1.- Write the percent as grams

Hydrogen = 3.25 g

Carbon = 19.36 g

Oxygen = 77.39 g

2.- Convert the grams to moles

                     1 g of H ----------------- 1 mol

                   3,25 g of H -------------  x

                     x = (3.25 x 1) / 1

                     x = 3.25 moles

                    12 g of C ---------------- 1 mol

                     19.36 g of C ----------  x

                     x = (19.36 x 1) / 12

                     x = 1.61 moles

                     16g of O --------------- 1 mol

                     77.39 g of O ---------  x

                      x = (77.39 x 1)/16

                      x = 4.83

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Carbon = 3.25/1.61 = 2

Hydrogen = 1.61/1.61 = 1

Oxygen = 4.83/1.61 = 3

4.- Write the empirical formula

                        C₂HO₃

The organic compounds that are divided into two types, simple and complex, are called _____.
Sati [7]

The organic compounds that are divided into two types, simple and complex, are called carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are diveded into twy types: simple and complex (starches, fiber, glycogen).

Simple carbohydrates are made of one (monosaccaharides) or two sugar units.

Complex carbohydrates are made up of many sugar units.

For example, glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is a simple carbohydrate.

Glucose is chemical compound composed of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units bonded by glycosidic bond. Starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol.

A gas mixture contains oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. It has a pressure of 250 mmHg. If the pressure of oxygen is 50 mmHg
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

P_{CO_2}=25mmHg

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the Dalton's law, which explains that the total pressure of a gaseous system equals the sum of the partial pressures of the gases composing, for the gaseous mixture composed by oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide it would be possible to write:

P_{tot}=P_{N_2}+P_{O_2}+P_{CO_2}

Now, given the pressure of the system and those of oxygen and nitrogen, we calculate that of carbon dioxide as shown below:

P_{CO_2}=P_{tot}-P_{N_2}-P_{O_2}\\\\P_{CO_2}=250mmHg-50mmHg-175mmHg\\\\P_{CO_2}=25mmHg

Best regards!

Why is it better to allow the solvent front to move almost to the top of a paper strip rather than stopping it at the halfway po
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

To allow all the elements or compounds to separate complete.

Explanation:

In chromatography, the compounds need some space and time to separate, one from each other, if you  just use the half of the paper strip maybe you will not notice the different spots of compounds. Remember all the substances have different affinity for the solvents, that means, some react very quickly but others need more time as the colors that conform the black color in an ink.
