Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The epoxide formed when the given alkene is treated with mCPBA is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: In presence of peroxide, alkenes are oxidized to epoxide. This reaction is known as epoxidation. The weak pi bond of alkene and weak OO bond of peroxide are broken and two new CO bonds are formed. Breaking of bonds and formation of bonds takes place in single step. mCPBA is called meta-chloroperoxybenzoicacid.

Calculating the pH at equivalence of a titration 3/5 Izabella A chemist titrates 120.0 mL of a 0.7191M dimethylamine ((CH3)2NH) solution with 0.5501 M HBr solution at 25 °C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pk of dimethylamine is 3.27. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Note for advanced students: you may assume the total volume of the solution equals the initial volume plus the volume of HBr solution added. pH = ☐ ✓ 18 Ar Bo
