Convert 2 butanol to 2 nitrobutane

1 answer:

3 0

The conversion of 2 - butanol to 2 - nitrobutane involves conversion of 2 butanol to 2 - bromobutane and subsequently to 2 - nitrobutane.

In order to convert 2 - butanol to 2 - nitrobutane, an SN2 reaction is first carried out in which 2 - butanol is converted to 2 - bromobutane. This reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration at the chiral carbon as expected.

This product is subsequently reacted with silver nitrite in ethanol to yield 2 - nitrobutane along side silver bromide. Some alkyl nitrite is also produced as a by product. The components of the mixture are separated by fractional distillation. The scheme of the reaction is shown in the image attached to this answer. This reaction is only applied to primary and secondary alkyl halides.

The energies of electrons are quantized. What does that mean?.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The correct statement should be The energies of electron are quantized when they are bounded to an atom.

In Quantum Mechanics The term Quantization used to measure the physical entities having certain discrete value. When we say energies of electron are quantized that means it have some specific values that are allowed, that is not continuous range of values.

How do you balance S8+F2=SF6

Brums [2.3K]

Balance the followig example of a heterogeneous equilibrium and write its reaction quotient, Qc: S8 + F2=SF6 i've balanced it i think i got S8 +24F2 =8SF6 but when i try it it keeps telling me that i'm wrong when i write out the Qc

In the chemical compound C2H2, how many pairs of electrons are shared between the two carbon atoms?

gavmur [86]

Acetylene (C2H2) has a triple bond between the two carbons. So 3 pairs of electrons. Biomed is talking about ethylene (C2H4).

Predict the formulas of the products and classify the following reaction:

Zina [86]

Answer:

C18H38(s) + O2(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g).

Explanation:

C₁₈H₃₈ is called Octadecane and it is an Alkane as the molecular formula follows the general formula of Alkanes which is CnH2n+2 .

C₁₈H₃₈ reacts with Oxygen and forms Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) and Water (H₂O).

We can say that on oxidation Octadecane gives Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) and Water (H₂O) because on passing Oxygen over Octadecane the above products are formed.

C18H38(s) + O2(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g).
