Draw the structures of organic compounds A and B. Indicate stereochemistry where applicable The starting material is ethyne, a c
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In this case we have the starting reactant which is the ethine, In the first step reacts with NaNH₂, a strong base. This base will substract the hydrogen from one of the carbon of the ethine, and form a carbanion. This will react with the propane bromide, displacing the bromine and forming a 5 carbon chain with the triple bond on the carbon 1 and 2.
In the second step, reacts with the lindlar catalyst to do a reduction, and form a double bond between carbon 1 and 2. In essence, compound A is similar to compound B.
Finally B reacts with water in acid and makes a addition reaction, and form an alcohol.
The whole process can be seen in the picture below.

Answer: increase in entropy
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.
is positive when randomness increases and
is negative when randomness decreases.
When the non polar solutes are placed in water, the hydrogen bonding network of water is disrupted, and there are fewer ways for water to hydrogen-bond with itself. That means the water molecules are more randomly arranged and thus have more entropy and thus is positive.
