- The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?arrow_forwardMy question is whether HI adds to both double bonds, and if it doesn't, why not?arrow_forwardStrain Energy for Alkanes Interaction / Compound kJ/mol kcal/mol H: H eclipsing 4.0 1.0 H: CH3 eclipsing 5.8 1.4 CH3 CH3 eclipsing 11.0 2.6 gauche butane 3.8 0.9 cyclopropane 115 27.5 cyclobutane 110 26.3 cyclopentane 26.0 6.2 cycloheptane 26.2 6.3 cyclooctane 40.5 9.7 (Calculate your answer to the nearest 0.1 energy unit, and be sure to specify units, kJ/mol or kcal/mol.

- A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered +1.26 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum.
