Chemistry
1 answer:
8_murik_8 [283]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The ability and tendency of certain systems to maintain a relatively constant internal state in spite of changes in external conditions; this ability is achieved by the presence of feedback mechanisms which can adjust the state of the system to compensate for changes in the state caused by the external environment. It is exemplified in homeothermal biological systems, such as animals which maintain relatively constant blood temperature and composition in spite of variations in external temperature or the composition of the food ingested.

Draw the structural formula of the major product of the reaction of (S)-2,2,3-trimethyloxirane with MeOH, H . Use the wedge/hash
Katarina [22]

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an <u>epoxide opening in acid medium</u>. The first step then is the <u>protonation of the oxygen</u>. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most <u>stable carbocation</u>. The nucleophile (CH_3OH) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is <u>deprotonated</u> to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule <u>(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Important (question on k12 test)
monitta

Answer:

A new Dana system of classification contains 78 different classes of minerals based on composition and then further classified by type and group. To be considered a mineral, a substance must be an inorganic, naturally formed solid, with a specific chemical formula and a fixed internal structure. To test whether something is a mineral, there are several identification tests to which the substance is subjected, including its resistance to scratching, its density in comparison to water, its color, the degree of light it reflects, the color of the powdered mineral, its breakage pattern and its crystalline form.
