Answer:
0.49 mol
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
Mg + 2 HCI ⇒ MgCl₂ + H₂
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 12 g of Mg
The molar mass of Mg is 24.31 g/mol.
Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂ produced by 0.49 moles of Mg
The molar ratio of Mg to H₂ is 1:1. The moles of H₂ produced are 1/1 × 0.49 mol = 0.49 mol.
Answer:
Y is a 3-chloro-3-methylpentane.
The structure is shown in the figure attached.
Explanation:
The radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane can lead to a tertiary substituted carbon (Y) and to a secondary one (X).
The E2 elimination mechanism, as shown in the figure, will happen with a simulyaneous attack from the base and elimination of the chlorine. This means that primary and secondary substracts undergo the E2 mechanism faster than tertiary substracts.
