Answer:
(1) addition of HBr to 2-methyl-2-pentene
Explanation:
In this case, we will have the formation of a <u>carbocation</u> for each molecule. For molecule 1 we will have a <u>tertiary carbocation</u> and for molecule 2 we will have a <u>secondary carbocation</u>.
Therefore the <u>most stable carbocation</u> is the one produced by the 2-methyl-2-pentene. So, this molecule would react faster than 4-methyl-1-pentene. (See figure)
Answer:
A carboxylate salt and water
Explanation:
A carboxylic acid is an organic compound that has general formula RCOOH, where R is a carbon chain. Because it's an acid, the neutralization will happen when it reacts with a base, such as NaOH.
When this reaction occurs, the base will dissociate in Na⁺ and OH⁻, and the acid will ionize in RCOO⁻ and H⁺, so the products will be RCOO⁻Na⁺ (a carboxylate salt) and H₂O (water).
