The following carbocation should be ranked in decreasing order of stability.

  EBK STUDY GUIDE/SOLUTIONS MANUAL FOR OR, Chapter 7, Problem 30P

Concept Introduction:

The molecule in which carbon atom is linked with three bonds and carries one formal positive charge is known as carbocation’s. In these molecules, six electrons are present in their valence shell which makes them electron deficient. This makes them unstable electrophiles which bind with nucleophile (electron rich) to form new bond.

The stability ranking of carbocation can be determined on the basis of number of carbon atoms linked with carbocation.

Tertiary carbocation: Carbocation is linked with three carbon atoms.

Secondary carbocation: Carbocation is linked with two carbon atoms.

Primary carbocation: Carbocation is linked one carbon atom.

The order is given as:

Tertiary > Secondary > Primary

(More carbon atoms)

A block of copper of mass 2.00kg(cp = 0.3851 .K) and g temperature 0°C is introduced into an insulated container in which there is 1.00molH, O(g) at 100°C and 1.00 2 atm. Note that C P = 4.184. K for liquid water, and g that A H = 2260 for water. vap g Assuming all the steam is condensed to water, and that the pressure remains constant: (a) What will be the final temperature of the system? (b) What is the heat transferred from the water to the copper? (c) What is the entropy change of the water, the copper, and the total system?
Identify the missing organic reactants in the following reaction: H+ X + Y OH H+ O O Note: This chemical equation only focuses on the important organic molecules in the reaction. Additional inorganic or small-molecule reactants or products (like H₂O) are not shown. In the drawing area below, draw the skeletal ("line") structures of the missing organic reactants X and Y. You may draw the structures in any arrangement that you like, so long as they aren't touching. Explanation Check Click and drag to start drawing a structure. X G 2025 McGraw Hill LLC.
