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's the enthalpy change of this process?
for
. By convention, the enthalpy change
measures the energy change for each mole of a process.
.
The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.
<u>Answer:</u> The unbalanced chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Unbalanced chemical equation does not follow law of conservation of mass.
In an unbalanced chemical equation, total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will not be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.
The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and magnesium metal follows:
Hence, the unbalanced chemical equation is written above.
