An unknown compound displays singlets at δ 2.1 ppm and 2.56 ppm in the ratio of 3:2. what is the structure of the compound?
1 answer:
1) As can be seen from any 1H NMR chemical shift ppm tables, hydrogens which have δ values from 2ppm to 2.3ppm are hydrogens from carbon which is bonded to a carbonyl group. From this, we can conclude that our hydrogens belong to the type, but from 2 different alkyl groups because of 2 different signals.
2) So, one alkyl group is CH3 and second one can be CH or CH2.
3) If we know that ratio between two types of hydrogens is 3:2, it can be concluded that second alkyl group is CH2.
4) Finally, we don't have any other signals and it indicates that part of the compound which continues on CH2 is exactly the same as the first part.
The ratio remains the same, 3:2 ie 6:4

Answer: No reaction occurs
Explanation:.
Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.
The given chemical equation is:
The complete ionic equation is;
The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are are not involved in net ionic equation.
Hence, there is no net reaction.
Answer:
See explanation and picture below
Explanation:
First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.
In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.
In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.
Answer & Explanation:
The reason why is because global fossil fuel consumption is on the rise, and new reserves are becoming harder to find. Those that are discovered are significantly smaller than the ones that have been found in the past.
Oil: Consumption (Predictions): Over 11 Billion tonnes Annually. If we carry on as we are, our known oil deposits could run out in just over 53 years.
Gas (Predictions): If we increase gas production to fill the energy gap left by oil, our known gas reserves only give us just 52 years left.
Coal: Although it’s often claimed that we have enough coal to last hundreds of years, this doesn’t take into account the need for increased production if we run out of oil and gas, our known coal deposits could be gone in 150 years.
For example, oil reserves are a good example: 16 of the 20 largest oil fields in the world have reached peak level production – they’re simply too small to keep up with global demand.
During the year of 2015, fossil fuels made up 81.5% of total U.S. energy consumption. The number is most likely increasing every year.
(fyi: the graph provided is showing future energy reserves for coal, gas and oil. approxiamately.)
