Explanation:
Monke demands points.
Answer:
(3R,4R)-4-bromohexan-3-ol
Explanation:
In this case, we have reaction called <u>halohydrin formation</u>. This is a <u>markovnikov reaction</u> with <u>anti configuration</u>. Therefore the halogen in this case "Br" and the "OH" must have <u>different configurations</u>. Additionally, in this molecule both carbons have the <u>same substitution</u>, so the "OH" can go in any carbon.
Finally, in the product we will have <u>chiral carbons</u>, so we have to find the absolute configuration for each carbon. On carbon 3 we will have an "R" configuration on carbon 4 we will have also an "R" configuration. (See figure 1)

Answer:
2Cu2^+ + 2I^- ----> 2Cu^+ + I2
Explanation:
The reaction performed in the experiment is;
2 Cu(NO3)2 + 4 KI → 2 CuI (s) + 4 KNO3 + I2
The iodide ions reduces Cu^2+ to Cu^+ which is insoluble in water hence the precipitate. This is so because iodine is a good oxidizing agent seeing that it requires one electron to fill its outermost shell. Potassium on the other hand is a good reducing agent since it easily looses its one electron.
The oxidation - reduction equation is as follows;
2Cu2^+ + 2e ----> 2Cu^+ reduction half equation
2I^- ----> I2 + 2e. Oxidation half equation
Balanced redox reaction equation;
2Cu2^+ + 2I^- ----> 2Cu^+ + I2
The answer you are looking for is "bromine". Hope this helps!
