Answer:
a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol
b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol
Explanation:
For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>
In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.
For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.
See figure 1
I hope it helps!
Answer:
0.1066 hours
Explanation:
A common pesticide degrades in a first-order process with a rate constant (k) of 6.5 1/hours. We can calculate its half-life (t1/2), that is, the times that it takes for its concentration to be halved, using the following expression.
t1/2 = ln2/k
t1/2 = ln2/6.5 h⁻¹
t1/2 = 0.1066 h
The half-life of the pesticide is 0.1066 hours.
Are u sure this is the right option? Well, antimony can be decomposed. Including octane.
Option 1/A (It is the first one)
Each enzyme's active site is suitable for one specific type of substrate – just like a lock that has the right shape for only one specific key. Changing the shape of the active site of an enzyme will cause its reaction to slow down until the shape has changed so much that the substrate no longer fits.
