Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy transferred as heat in kilojoules when 70lb of coal is burned should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

  • Enthalpy of combustion is the energy released by a combustion reaction between hydrocarbons, oxygen and heat source.
  • Enthalpy of formation is the heat released or absorbed in a chemical reaction at constant temperature when simple substances combine into a more complex substance.
  • 1lb=453.6g

Which carbocation is more stable?
Are the products of the given reaction correct?  Why or why not?
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?
