Structural Formulas: HBr & 2-Propene, 1-Butanol & 1-Propanoic Acid

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the reactions of HBr with 2-propene and the reaction between 1-butanol and 1-propanoic acid. The first reaction is identified as an addition reaction, while the second is classified as esterification, producing an ester through nucleophilic addition-elimination. The conversation also touches on the potential isomers from the first reaction, although specific isomer counts are not provided. There is a debate about the terminology used, specifically the reference to "2-propene," with a suggestion that "propene" might be more appropriate. Concerns are raised about the conditions under which the reactions occur, particularly regarding the concentration of bromine in the first reaction and the relevance of an allylic route. The importance of referencing figures in the text when discussing the reactions is emphasized.

Last Question.. I promise!
a)Using structural formula show the reactions between:
i) HBr and 2-propene
ii) 1-butanol and 1-propanoic acid.
b) How many isomers are possible in (i)
c) Name the type of reacion in (i), In (ii)
d) To what family does the organic product in (ii) belong?

K what I got so far is ( look in the attachment)
In i Is it right, have I done it correctly and in ii) I am not sure how I put them together? I have no clue?

Can't see the document, since I don't have word with me at the moment (old version of works). i) is an addition reaction ii) is an esterification, and as implied ii) product is an ester, occurs through nucleophilic addition elimination.

although considered allylic route for i)...don't think it'll be a factor in this case, since the caranion intermediate won't have an electrophilic bromine to react with. Not to mention they should have indicated low concentrations of bromine reactant, if they wished for you to consider this

Also, if you're referring to propene, not 2-propene as this does not make any sense (can you tell me why?), be sure to indicate so

Just be sure to refer to figures in your text, in drawing out the general equation

I dunno, a lot of ochem books say stupid stuff like 2-propene...at least mine did
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
