Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 3methylbut2ene1ol to isoprene is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The removal of two substituents from a molecule either in one step or in two steps is called an elimination reaction.

In elimination reaction, abstraction of proton occurs to form an alkene. Elimination reactions are of two types that is E1 and E2.

For preparation of alkenes, acid-catalyzed dehydration of alcohols is one of the best methods. Less substituted alkene is the minor product when a mixture of constitutional isomers is possible.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form sodium chloride (NaCl) and water. If ΔH ° = −56.13 kJ/mol and ΔS ° = 79.11 J/mol ⋅ K, what is the temperature of the reaction if ΔG ° = −80.89 kJ/mol?
For a particular hypothetical reaction, A+B →2C, the value of AG° is -125 kJ/mol. What is the value of AG for this reaction at 35°C when [A] = 0.10 M, [B] = 0.05 M, and [C] = 2.0 × 10¹ M?
In an experiment, 74.3 g of metallic copper was heated to 100.0°C and then quickly dropped into 200.0 mL of water in a calorimeter. The heat capacity of the calorimeter with the water was 875 J/°C. The initial temperature of the calorimeter was 27.5°C, and the final temperature after addition of the metal was 29.8°C. What is the value of the molar heat capacity of copper?
