Answer to Question #308967 in Inorganic Chemistry for Jojo

Question

1.Write the Molecular Formula of 2-methyl-1-butene.

2. Write the equation if the compound in number 1 will be subjected to hydrobromination.

3. The product in number 2 is treated with Grignard Reagent. Write the two steps chemical reactions.

4. Write the molecular formula of the major product in number 3

5. The answer in number 4 is exposed to combustion. Write and balance the chemical reaction.  

Answer 1

The molecular formula of 2-methyl-1-butene is C₅H₁₀.

C₅H₁₀ + HBr = C₅H₁₁Br

1. C₅H₁₁Br + Mg = C₅H₁₁MgBr; C₅H₁₁MgBr + H₂O = C₅H₁₂ + MgBrOH

The molecular formula of the major product is C₅H₁₂.

1. C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂ = 5CO₂ + 6H₂O.
