1. why is HCl not a good choice as the acid to catalyze a dehydration reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Len [333]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1) HCl contains the Cl^- which is a good nucleophile

2) 2-methyl-2- heptanol > 2-heptanol > 1-heptanol

3) see image attached

Explanation:

If the dehydration of alcohols is carried out using HCl, the chloride ion which is a good nucleophile will attack the substrate to yield an undesirable product.

The dehydration of alcohols is an E1 reaction. Recall that the ease of E1 reaction increases in the order 3°> 2°> 1°. Hence, 2-methyl-2- heptanol forms a tertiary carbocation intermediate during dehydration and has the greatest ease of dehydration.

The three products formed during the dehydration of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol are shown in the image attached. Two out of the three are formed by rearrangement reactions.

Which of the following is the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent?
Lyrx [107]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3} is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}.

A camphor is a volatile white color substance with chemical formula C_{10}H_{16}O. It has aromatic smell and its taste is bitter.

A menthone is also an organic compound with chemical formula C_{10}H_{18}O.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent is acetone.

The concentration of an HCl acid solution is initially 6mol/L. What would the concentration of a new solution be if 200 mL of th
pochemuha

Taking into account the definition of dilution, the concentration of the new solution is 1 mol/L.

<h3>Dilution</h3>

When it is desired to prepare a less concentrated solution from a more concentrated one, it is called dilution.

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of solute in solution, which is accomplished by simply adding more solvent to the solution at the same amount of solute.

In a dilution the amount of solute does not change, but as more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume (and weight) of the solution increases.

A dilution is mathematically expressed as:

Ci×Vi = Cf×Vf

where

  • Ci: initial concentration
  • Vi: initial volume
  • Cf: final concentration
  • Vf: final volume

<h3>Final volume</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • Ci= 6 mol/L
  • Vi= 200 mL
  • Cf= ?
  • Vf= 1 L (1000 mL) water + 200 mL of HCL= 1200 mL

Replacing in the definition of dilution:

6 mol/L× 200 mL= Cf× 1200 mL

Solving:

(6 mol/L× 200 mL)÷ 1200 mL= Cf

<u><em>1 mol/L= Cf</em></u>

In summary, the concentration of the new solution is 1 mol/L.

A sample of carbon-12 has a mass of 6.00 g. How many atoms of carbon-12 are in the sample?
Bingel [31]
Carbon molar mass=12
carbon mass in the above question =6
mole=number of atoms/6.02x10²³
6/12= number of atoms/6.02x10²³
number of atoms=1/2 x6.02x10²³
number of atoms= 6.02 x10²³/2
number of atoms=3.01x10²³
