Electrophilic addition reaction doesn't mean anything to me but i think that I understand what you are saying. The Oh will take the place of the double bond so depending on the alkene is what would affect the OH.

Ok, H2SO4 CH3-CH2-CH=CH-CH3+H20 ----------------> CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 | OH (and this would also apply to 2 and 3 pentanol by just switching the location of OH) I hope that's right :confused:

Well, I'm not sure exactly but as far as I know you need an alkene, water and H2SO4 to make them react. So I guess for 1-pentanol the reaction would be CH3-CH2-CH-CH-CH3 + H2O ----------> CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 (I can't figure out how to space[H2SO4] [OH] text yet so look at the...

For the isomers I have: 1-pentanol 3-methyl 1-butanol 2-methyl 1-butanol 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol 3-pentanol 2-pentanol 3-methyl-2-butanol 2-methyl-2-butanol so how can I determine how these are produced?

Homework Statement I was asked to list all isomers and to describe the production and 2 uses for this type of alcohol. (C5H11OH) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I got all the isomers and 2 use for the alcohol but cannot seem to figure out how it is produced. If...

Homework Statement I'm having trouble with naming complex ions. My textbook has given me a few rules but the examples they give seem to contradict them. These are all the rules I know, can someone tell me if they are right and if I am missing any? Homework Equations Start naming with...

Okay, I got the exponent 2 the first time but I'm not sure how you determine that MgF2 will become [Mg2+] and [F-]2. How did you determine the ions? And shouldn't Ca and SO4 also have them then? Also, I think I found how to determine if a precipitate will form, can you check this work for me...

Ksp = [Mg] [F2] Ksp = (2.7 * 10 -3) (2.7 * 10 -3) =7.9 *10 -6 Ksp = 7.9 *10 -6 Is this better?

Okay, thanks for the links. So let me try to work out some answers over here. 1)A(g) --> 2B(g) + C(g) <-- When 1 mol of A is placed in a 4 L container at temperature t the concentration of C at equilibibrium is 0.050 mol/L. What is the equiliibrium constant for the reaction at...

Can someone please explain to me: 1) How to determine an eqilibirium constant 2) How to calculate Ksp from solubility values 3) How to determine if a precipitate will form in a reaction I am doing a chemistry course without a teacher and the textbook doesn't properly explain it...

Okay so I'm supposed to it the 1, 2, 3, ... for my course. Thank you very much for all your help.

Okay, since Tb is 4f8 Gd has to be 4f7 giving rise to 5d1. Now when you wrote it as 6s2 5d1 4f7 was that specifically in that order? Because I thought we were supposed to write down electron configuration by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 regardless of which orbital was actually filled last. Thanks.

Homework Statement Use the periodic table to write the electron configuration of Gd. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Gd has 64 electrons (atomic number 64) so I would assume that the configuration would be: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 4f8 5s2 5p6 6s2...

Thank you very much Symbolipoint. I did as you said and checked a table of boiling and melting points. It seems that the elements are (top to bottom) Argon, Chlorine, Bromine, Gallium, Phosporus, Aluminum, and Tungsten. Since only Argon and Chlorine are gases at STP I got question b correct...

I thought 22.4 L was bigger than 2.6*10 to the negative 2? When you do a negative power doesn't that mean that the decimal point moves to the right, making the number smaller? Also, do you have any ideas of how to find the answer to question c?
