Explanation:
You may have done a Williamson synthesis of guaifenesin by reacting guaiacol with 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol.
A. Mechanism
Step 1
NaOH converts guaiacol into a phenoxide ion.
Step 2
The phenoxide acts as the nucleophile in an SN2 reaction to displace the Cl from the alkyl halide.
B. Improve the yield
You probably carried out the reaction in ethanol solution — a polar protic solvent.
You might try doing the reaction in a polar aprotic solvent— perhaps DMSO.
A polar aprotic solvent does not hydrogen bond to nucleophiles, so they become stronger.
C. Another method of ether synthesis —dehydration of alcohols
Sulfuric acid catalyzes the conversion of primary alcohols to ethers.
This is also a nucleophilic displacement reaction.
Protonation of the OH converts it into a better leaving group.
Attack by a second molecule of alcohol forms the protonated ether.
A molecule of water then removes the proton.
Answer:
The answer to your question is letter B
Explanation:
Incorrect name
A. acetic acid This name is correct for the acid with formula CH₃COOH
B. hydrocarbonate acid This is not the name for acid but for a molecule that has hydrogen and a metal.
C. hydrocyanic acid This name is correct for the inorganic molecule with formula HCN
D. sulfurous acid This name is correct and is the name of the inorganic molecule with formula H₂SO₃.
E. phosphoric acid This name is correct for the acid with formula H₃PO₄.
<h2>Question:</h2>
- A solution that is able to dissolve additional solute is best described as _____.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
<h2>D.) Unsaturated </h2>
- <u>Unsaturated</u> means the substance is poured into the solvent that can be dissolved. It is a solution (with less solute than the saturated solution) that completely dissolves, leaving with no remaining substances.
<h2>For example:</h2>
- If you were to pour olive oil into a glass of water, it will dissolve, so it is <u>unsaturated</u>.

An electrical fire would only be made worse by adding water. Using a CO2 extinguisher is smarter because it cools what ever has been set on fire making it less likely to light on fire again.
