Choose the answer that best explains why α–pyrone reacts with br2 to yield a substitution product (like benzene does), rather th
an an addition product to one of its c═c bonds.
1 answer:
As can be seen in the attached image, α-pyrone has a highly electrophilic carbon atom, since it is attached to two oxygen atoms that are electronegative and subtract electrical charge from the carbon, leaving it with a <u>positive partial charge</u>. By virtue of the above, <u>the bromine atoms, which have an important electron density that makes them good nucleophiles, will be attracted to the aforementioned carbon due to their positive charge</u>, thus favoring the substitution product to a greater extent than that of addition.

Answer:
Explanation:
You don't give the reaction, but we can get by just by balancing atoms of Na.
We know we will need the partially balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.
M_r: 142.04
2NaOH + … ⟶ Na₂SO₄ + …
n/mol: 0.75
1. Use the molar ratio of Na₂SO₄ to NaOH to calculate the moles of NaF.
Moles of Na₂SO₄ = 0.75 mol NaOH × (1 mol Na₂SO₄/2 mol NaOH
= 0.375 mol Na₂SO₄
2. Use the molar mass of Na₂SO₄ to calculate the mass of Na₂SO₄.
Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.375 mol Na₂SO₄ × (142.04 g Na₂SO₄/1 mol Na₂SO₄) = 53 g Na₂SO₄
The reaction produces of Na₂SO₄.
