Answer:

The answer is neopentyl alcohol. (CH₃)₃C-CH₂-OH

Explanation:

This alcohol cannot be synthesized by the hydroboration–oxidation of an alkene since the reaction of hydroboration–oxidation go through steps that involved the addition of BH₃ into the original structure. In the case of neopentyl alcohol, if we carry out retro synthetic by the hydroboration–oxidation, we will find the original alkene is (CH₃)₃C=CH₂ which is impossible since the center carbon atom has 5 bonds.

The condition for hydroboration–oxidation reaction is that the alkene must have the structure of R-CH=CH₂

____ [38]

Assuming ideal behavior of the gas for a fixed amount when temperature is held constant, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional as given by the expression
P1V1 = P2V2
where the terms with subscripts of one represent the initial conditions for pressure and volume of the gas while for terms with subscripts of two represent the final conditions.
Rearranging the Boyle's law equation to calculate for the final volume V2:
V2 = P1V1 / P2
V2 = (99.7 kPa)(150 mL) / 99.8 kPa
V2 = 149.85 mL

Combine the two half-reactions that give the spontaneous cell reaction with the smallest E∘. Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s) E∘=−0.45V I2(s)+

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: The spontaneous cell reaction having smallest $E^o$ is $I_2+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2I^-$

Explanation:

We are given:

$E^o_{(Fe^{2+}/Fe)}=-0.45V\\E^o_{(I_2/I^-)}=0.54V\\E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, iodine will always undergo reduction reaction, then copper and then iron.

The equation used to calculate electrode potential of the cell is:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{oxidation}+E^o_{reduction}$

The combination of the cell reactions follows:

Case 1:

Here, iodine is getting reduced and iron is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$I_2(s)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2I^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=0.45V$

Reduction half reaction: $I_2(s)+2e^-\rightarrow 2I_-(aq.)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.54V$

$E^o_{cell}=0.45+0.54=0.99V$

Thus, this cell will not give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Case 2:

Here, iodine is getting reduced and copper is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$I_2(s)+Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2I^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=-0.34V$

Reduction half reaction: $I_2(s)+2e^-\rightarrow 2I_-(aq.)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.54V$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.34+0.54=0.20V$

Thus, this cell will give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Case 3:

Here, copper is getting reduced and iron is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$Cu^{2+}(aq.)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cu(s)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=0.45V$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.34V$

$E^o_{cell}=0.45+0.34=0.79V$

Thus, this cell will not give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Hence, the spontaneous cell reaction having smallest $E^o$ is $I_2+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2I^-$
