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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Len [333]2 years ago

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.

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).
Pani-rosa [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Atmospheric Gas         Mole Fraction      kH mol/(L*atm)

           N_2                         7.81\times 10^{-1}         6.70\times 10^{-4}

           O_2                         2.10\times 10^{-1}        1.30\times 10^{-3}

           Ar                          9.34\times 10^{-3}        1.40\times 10^{-3}

          CO_2                        3.33\times 10^{-4}        3.50\times 10^{-2}

          CH_4                       2.00\times 10^{-6}         1.40\times 10^{-3}

          H_2                          5.00\times 10^{-7}         7.80\times 10^{-4}

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is 1.48\times 10^{-10}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=p_T\times \chi_{\text{hydrogen gas}}

where,

p_A = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = ?

p_T = total pressure = 0.380 atm

\chi_A = mole fraction of hydrogen gas = 5.00\times 10^{-7}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=0.380\times 5.00\times 10^{-7}\\\\p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=1.9\times 10^{-7}atm

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{H_2}=K_H\times p_{H_2}

where,

K_H = Henry's constant = 7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm

p_{H_2} = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = 1.9\times 10^{-7}atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

C_{H_2}=7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 1.9\times 10^{-7}atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=1.48\times 10^{-10}M

Hence, the solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is 1.48\times 10^{-10}M
