- 3. Why did breaking the P-C single bond lead to the formation of 2 species containing a free radical (ie. where did those 2 electrons come from)? 4. Do you think the photoinitiator 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone would require a shorter or longer wavelength of light to create a free radical? Explain your answer using the table provided in question #2 (be specific). The structure of 2-hydroxy-2- methylpropiophenone is shown below. CH3 Figure 5: Structure of 2-hydroxy-2- methylpropiophenone. The wavy line shows OH the bond that is photo-sensitive (ie. the bond that will be broken by light).

In other words, why do you think forming a large molecule would lead to the formation of a solid? (Hint: think about the movement of molecules in a liquid vs solid phase). 6.

- Which of the following reacts the fastest with NaOH, H2O? A. cis-2,3-dimethyloxirane B. ethylene oxide (oxirane) C. trans-2,3-dimethyloxirane D. 2,2,3,3-tetramethyloxiranearrow_forwardwhat will the products of the reaction?arrow_forwardIn the second paragraph you should explain why 2-chloro-2-methylpropane reacts with water via the SN1 mechanism instead of the SN2 mechanism, and then write the steps in the mechanism for this reaction. Then write the balanced equation for the reaction between 2-methyl-2-chloropropane and water. One of the products of this reaction is HCl. The rate at which HCl is produced is equal to the rate at which 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is consumed. In this experiment, the HCI will be neutralized by incremental addition of a sodium hydroxide solution. Write the balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCI.arrow_forward
