Question

The alkene shown to the right has a boiling point close to 76 degreeC. Imagine it is combined with water and sulfuric acid (H_2SO_4). Which of the following products is most likely to form? Which of the following energy diagrams best represents the mechanism of this reaction? Imagine the reaction was carried out at 90 degreeC, how would the extent and rate of the reaction would be affected if more sulfuric acid (H_2SO_4) was added to the solution? Reaction would be faster and shift to reactants Reaction would be faster and shift to products Reaction would be faster but extent would be the same The effect depends on the amount of acid added Imagine the reaction was carried out at 90 degreeC, how would the extent the reaction would be affected if more water was added to the reaction mixture? Reaction extent would not be affected Reaction would shift to products Reaction would shift to reactants The effect depends on how much water is added Imagine that the alkene used in this reaction was the one shown to the right. What would the f most likely product of the addition reaction be when the alkene reacts with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid? Imagine you had a mixture of the two alkenes shown to the right. How many different products are likely to be synthesized if we add water and sulfuric acid to the mixture at low temperatures? Imagine you had a mixture of the two alkenes shown to the right. How many different products are likely to be synthesized if we add water and sulfuric acid to the mixture at high temperatures?

Explanation / Answer

9. Correct option (d) [acid catalyzed hyration of alkene]

10. (b) the energy of addition product would be less than the alkene and also there is a formation of only one carbocation intermediate.

11. (a) this is a reversible conversion and controlled by Le Chatelier principle, Concentrated H2SO4 means less water and hence, formation of alkene will favour.

12. (c) Similar explaination for addition product because more water meands less acid and this will favour addition product.

13. (c)

14. (a) in both cases OH will attack at tertiary carbon leading to similar product.

15. (a) After dehydration in addition product at high temoperature, similar alkene will form.
