Chapter 9, Problem 9.64P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Age of the mummy should be determined from the following given information.

Concept Introduction:

Radioactive dating is a technique for the determination of the "age" of a mineral sample by determining the presence of the relative amounts of radioactive elements. Age is thetime passed from when themineral samplewas formed.

In Carbon dating orcarbon-14 dating, the “age” of an organicspecimenis concludedby exploiting the properties of a radioactive carbon isotope or radiocarbon.

The rate of decay of any radioactive isotope is calculated in half-life. Thisterm is defined as the time taken by one-half of the atoms of any radioactive material to degenerate.

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?
