Which of the following additions to alkenes occur(s) specifically in an syn fashion?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

E) A, B, and C

Explanation:

Syn addition refers to the addition of two substituents on the same face or side of a double bond. This differed from anti addition which a occurs across opposite face of the double bond.

Hydrogenation, hydroboration and dihydroxylation all involve syn addition to the double bond, hence the answer chosen above.

Androstenedione, which contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the g

Gennadij [26K]

Answer: The molecular formula for androstenedione is, $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=5.527g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.548g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 5.527 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 5.527=1.507g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.548 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.548=0.172g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of oxygen:

Mass of oxygen in the compound = $(1.893g)-[(1.507g)+(0.172g)]=0.214g$

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{1.507g}{12g/mole}=0.126moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.172g}{1g/mole}=0.172moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.214g}{16g/mole}=0.0133moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $0.0133$ moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.126}{0.0133}=9.5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.172}{0.0133}=12.9\approx 13$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0133}{0.0133}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 9.5 : 13 : 1

To make in a whole number we are multiplying the ratio by 2, we get:

The ratio of C : H : O = 19 : 26 : 2

Thus, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$

The empirical formula weight of $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$ = 19(12) + 26(1) + 2(16) = 286 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{286.4}{286}=1$

Molecular formula = $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$

Therefore, the molecular formula for androstenedione is, $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$
