What is 2-2? When the cow is green

Draw all four products obtained when 2-ethyl-3-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene is treated with HBr at room temperature and show the me

LenKa [72]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case we have reaction of addition. In this case a diene reacting with an acid as HBr. This reaction is known as Hydrohalogenation, and, as we have a diene, this kind of reaction can be done as 1,4 addition. Which means that the reaction will be undergoing with an adition in the carbon 1, and carbon 4.

At room temperature we can expect that this reaction can be done in thermodynamic conditions, Now, as the problem states that is forming 4 products, we can expect products of a 1,2 addition too. This product can be formed if the reaction is taking place in the most stable carbocation, and then, by resonance, we can expect the 1,4 product too.

Now, the HBr can be attacked by the double bond of the first position, giving two possible products or by the double bond of the third position giving the other two products. These products are all possible, obviously the most stable will be the major of all of them, but the other three are perfectly possible. One product is formed without doing much, and the other by resonance. Same happens with the other double bond.

In the picture below, you have the mechanism for all the 4 products.

Hope this helps

Which type of seismic waves produces the most severe ground movement?

Leto [7]

The surface waves are the type of seismic waves that produce the most severe ground movement. This wave is slow in nature and so produces a rolling effect similar to a surface wave in a pond. This kind of wave is far more devastating than the P waves and the S waves. The surface waves have the capacity to shake a building from side to side until it collapses. This kind of wave moves in a pattern similar to a circle. It actually originates at a point and then start moving outwards in a circle.

Calculate the amount of heat water absorbs from a piece of hot metal using the following data: 75.0 g of cold water is placed in

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Amount of heat absorbed by water is 2604.54 J.

Explanation:

Amount of heat absorbed by water = $m_{water}\times C_{water}\times \Delta T_{water}$

where m represents mass, C represents specific heat and $\Delta T$ represents change in temperature.

Here $m_{water}=75.0$ g , $C_{water}=4.184J/(g.^{0}\textrm{C})$ and $\Delta T$ = (final temperature - initial temperature) = (29.5-21.2) $^{0}\textrm{C}$ = 8.3 $^{0}\textrm{C}$
