Use equation with curved arrows to show the reaction between a three-carbon alkene and hydronium ion to give isopropyl carbonium ion and water.

Answer»

st step (which involves electrophilic attack by bromine on the double bond) produces a bromide ion and a carbocation, as shown in Equation 10-1.1As we know from our study of SN1 reactions (Section 8-4), carbocations react readily with nucleophilic reagents. Therefore in the second step of the bromine-addition mechanism, shown in Equation 10-2, the bromoethyl cation is expected to combine rapidly with bromide ion to give the dibromo compound. However, if other nucleophiles, such as Cl⊖ or CH3OH, are present in SOLUTION, they should be able to compete with bromide ion for the cation, as in EQUATIONS 10-3 and 10-4, and mixtures of products will RESULT:To account for the All of the hydrogen halides HF, HCl, HBr, and HI) will add to alkenes. Addition of hydrogen fluoride, while facile, is easily reversible. However, a solution of 70% anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and 30% of the weak organic base, pyridine, which is about 1/10,000 times as strong as ammonia, works better, and with cyclohexene gives fluorocyclohexane. With hydrogen iodide, care must be taken to prevent I2 addition products resulting from iodine formed by oxidation reactions such as4HI+O2→2I2+2H2OWith hydrogen bromide, radical-chain addition may intervene unless the reaction conditions are controlled asonably reactive alkenes, although by no means as effectively as does concentrated sulfuric acid. The carbocation formed then is attacked rapidly by a nucleophilic water molecule to give the alcohol as its conjugate acid,2 which acts readily with water in a second step to give ethanol:10-3F AQUEOUS versus Nonaqueous Acids. Acid StrengthsOne of the more confusing features of organic chemistry is the multitude of conditions the H3O⊕ concentration, because H3O⊕ is where the protons are.Now, if we use poorer proton acceptors as solvent we find the proton-donating powers of various "strong" acids begin to spread out immensely. Furthermore, new things begin to happen. For example, ethene is not hydrated appreciably by dilute aqueous acid; it just is too hard to transfer sulfuric acid is virtually all converted to H3O⊕, which is non-nucleophilic!H2SO4+H2O→H3O⊕+HSO−4id is a very good proton donor) and SbF−6 is an extremely poor nucleophile. If we add ethene to such a solution, a stable solution of CH3CH+2SbF−6 is formed. The reason is that there is no better proton acceptor present than CH2=CH2 and no nucleophile good enough to combine with the

Write an application of ellingham diagram.

Answer»

hope it HELPS......if it helps MARK IT AS BRAINLIESTExplanation:The main application of Ellingham diagrams is in the extractive metallurgy industry, where it helps to select the best reducing agent for various ores in the extraction process, purification and grade setting for steel manufacturing.We shall consider the following reactions on the Ellingham diagram below: the oxidation of SILVER to form Ag2O (s); and the oxidation of cobalt to form CoO (s) and Co3O4: 4Ag (s) + O2 = 2Ag2O (s); 2Co + O2 (g) = 2CoO (s) 3Co + 2O2 (g) = Co3O4 (s). Example Ellingham Diagram for Co - Ag system The graph consists of lines of ΔG∘=ΔH∘−TΔS∘ Although ΔS and ΔH vary with temperature (see here to see why), the changes are so small as to be negligible, and so the lines are approximately straight. This means that they are of the form y=mx+c We can IMMEDIATELY see that the standard free energy change is greater (more negative) for the cobalt reaction relative to that of silver at all temperatures. This means that at all temperatures the equilibrium constant is larger for the cobalt reaction-the composition is further weighted towards the products of the reaction. This is the reason that metals that appear higher up on the diagram are more stable than those metals that appear lower down, and are more likely to be found in their pure solid form. The gradient of the two lines is approximately the same. We can see that the gradient of the lines is simply the standard entropy change for the reactions; ∂ΔG∘∂T=−ΔS∘ This is evident from the reactions, which both involve the ELIMINATION of one mole of gas - a large decrease in entropy. This is the reason for the positive slope of the lines. The reason for the change in slope is the change in phase of a component of the system, which alters the entropy change. As the standard free energy change for both reactions is still negative (below 460K) the large decrease in entropy MUST be counteracted by a large enthalpy of reaction. This is indeed the case. The intercept of the lines with 0K gives the enthalpy of the reaction: ΔG∘|0K=ΔH∘ We can hence see that the relative stability of the oxide of cobalt compared with the oxide of silver is due to the much larger standard enthalpy of reaction.

Is all conformers enantiomer??

Answer»

here below is your answer.Explanation:Enantiomers, also KNOWN as OPTICAL ISOMERS, are two stereoisomers that are related to each other by a reflection: they are mirror IMAGES of each other that are non-superposable. Human hands are a macroscopic analog of this. Every stereogenic center in one has the opposite CONFIGURATION in the other.
