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:
126.73 mL
Explanation:
The total pressure of the gas mixture is the sum of the vapor pressure of its constituents. So, the vapor pressure of N₂O(p) can be calculated:
750 = 18.85 + p
p = 750 - 18.85
p = 731.15 torr
It means that for 731.15 torr, N₂O occupied 130 mL. For the general gas equation, we know that
Where <em>p</em> is the pressure, <em>V</em> is the volume, <em>T</em> is the temperature, 1 is the initial state, and 2 the final state. For the same temperatue (21ºC), the equation results on Boyle's law:
p1V1 = p2V2, so:
731.15x130 = 750xV2
750V2 = 95049.5
V2 = 126.73 mL
