Give the product for the reaction of 1-butene with methanol in the presence of acid. the mechanism is the same as the mechanism for the addition of water to alkenes.

(a) 1-butanol
(b) 1-methoxybutane
(c) 2-ethoxybutane
(d) 1-ethoxybutane
(e) 2-methoxybutane

The final result is 2-methoxybutane.

Explanation:

1-butene has a carbon-carbon double bound between C1 and C2.

When it will react with methanol, in the presence of an acid, the result will be an ether.

C4H8 + CH3OH → C5H12O

An acid-catalyzed ether synthesis from alkenes is limited by carbocation stability.

In the first step, the double bound will disappear. The C2 atom will be a C+ atom, this becaus it has only 3 bounds and not 4.

This C+ -atom will atract the O- atom to form an ether. The CH3 of methanol will bind on the C3 atom, this is the most stable position.

2-methoxybutane will be formed. It has a structural formula of C5H12O

1-methoxybutane will not be formed, because it's less stable.

1-butanol will be formed when water is added to 1-butene. The mechanism has the same principle but not the same product.

1-ethoxybutane and 2-ethoxybutane have a structural formula of C6H14O, this will not be the final result.

The final result is 2-methoxybutane.

the grams   of   barium that   are in   2.3 x 10^23   atoms of barium   is   52.4 g (answer c)

    calculation

mass = moles   of ba   x molar   mass of ba

  molar mass of ba from periodic table=   137.3 g/mol

  use the   avogadro's law   constant   to   calculate the moles of barium

  that   is     1 mole =   6.02   x 10^23 atoms

                    ? moles = 2.3 x 10^23   atoms

by cross   multiplication

=(1 mole   x 2.3x 10^23 atoms)   / 6.02   x10^23 atoms)=   0.382   moles

mass   is therefore = 137.3   g/mol x 0.382 mol = 52.4 ( answer c)

explanation:

particle   p is an electron and particle q is a neutron
