Complete Question:

check the first image for complete part of the question

Answer and Explanation:

Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.

Ring opening of epoxide with acid:  

In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)

Ring opening of epoxide with base:  

The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.

What changes in space result from the death of massive stars?
lana [24]

Whenever the fuel is being used up, a star explodes and the energy leakage from a star's core ceases.

Explanation:

The dying star expands in the "Red Giant," before even the inevitable collapse starts, due to nuclear reactions just outside of the core.

It becomes a white dwarf star when the star has almost the same density as the Sun. If it's much larger, a supernova explosion could take place and leave a neutron star away. However, if it is very large–at least three times the Sun's mass–the crumbling core of the star, nothing will ever stop it from crumbling. The star is imploding into a black hole, an endless gravitational loop in space.

The heat of fusion for water is 80. cal/g. How many calories of heat are needed to melt a 35 g ice cube that has a temperature o
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: 2800 calories

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.

Amount of heat required to fuse 1 gram of water = 80 cal

Mass of ice given = 35 gram

Heat required to fuse 1 g of ice at 0^0C = 80 cal

Thus Heat required to fuse 35 g of ice =\frac{80}{1}\times 35=2800cal

Thus 2800 calories of energy is required to melt 35 g ice cube
