Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is used as an antioxidant in processed foods. (It prevents fats and oils from becoming rancid.) A
1 answer:
Answer:
Molecular mass of BHT is 204,2 g/mol
Explanation:
To answer this question you need to know that Freezing-point depression (A colligative property) is the decrease of the freezing point of a solvent on the addition of a non-volatile solute. The formula is:
ΔT = Kf m
Where ΔT is the freezing point depression (5,5°C - 4,880°C = 0,62°C
Kf that is freezing point molar constant of the solvent (5,065°C/m)
And m that is molality (moles of solute/kg of solvent). Replacing:
Knowing you have 100,0g of solvent ≡ 0,1000 kg:
=<em> 0,01224 moles of solute </em> <em>≡ BHT</em>
As grams of BHT are 2,500, molecular mass of BHT is:
<em>204,2 g/mol</em>
<em></em>

Answer:but-1-ene
Explanation:This is an E2 elimination reaction .
Kindly refer the attachment for complete reaction and products.
Sodium tert-butoxide is a bulky base and hence cannot approach the substrate 2-chlorobutane from the more substituted end and hence major product formed here would not be following zaitsev rule of elimination reaction.
Sodium tert-butoxide would approach from the less hindered side that is through the primary centre and hence would lead to the formation of 1-butene .The major product formed in this reaction would be 1-butene .
As the mechanism of the reaction is E-2 so it will be a concerted mechanism and as sodium tert-butoxide will start abstracting the primary hydrogen through the less hindered side simultaneously chlorine will start leaving. As the steric repulsion in this case is less hence the transition state is relatively stabilised and leads to the formation of a kinetic product 1-butene.
Kinetic product are formed when reactions are dependent upon rate and not on thermodynamical stability.
2-butene is more thermodynamically6 stable as compared to 1-butene
The major product formed does not follow the zaitsev rule of forming a more substituted alkene as sodium tert-butoxide cannot approach to abstract the secondary proton due to steric hindrance.
