If you look at the structure of 2-methyl-2-propanol, you can see that the carbon attached to the alcohol (OH) is a tertiary carbon, attached to 3 other carbons. Because butanol isomers react with an SN1 mechanism, the more complex compounds react faster. In an SN1, the tertiary reacts before the secondary reacts before the primary. Hope this helps some!

Why zinc reacts quickly with dilute HCl than with dilute acetic acid?

Acetic acid is a weak acid so it dissaociates partially into CH3COO- and H+ or (H3O)+ C2H4O2 ⇌ CH3COO- + H+ So some of the Acetic acids wont dissaociate into its ions reducing its concentration, and hence how quickly how it can react. HCl is a strong acid so fully dissaociates in water meaning it will be more concentrated and hence react faster.


Does ZnCl2 react with dilute HCl?

No, ZnCl2 does not react with dilute HCl because ZnCl2 is already a product of the reaction between zinc metal and HCl. So, no further reaction occurs when ZnCl2 is added to dilute HCl.


Does krypton react with HCl and water and NaOH?

Krypton is a noble gas and is generally inert, so it does not react with HCl, water, or NaOH under normal conditions.


Does a new penny float in hcl?

when the penny is reacted with HCl, there must be somesort of area where the copper on the outside of the penny is removed so that the HCl can react with the zinc inside because HCl does not react with copper. Once the HCl reacts with the Zn inside, it will dissapear and therefore become less dense then the ZnCl2 that is formed which causes the penny to float


Would NaHCO3 react with HCl?

yes, it does react. It produces NaCl + CO2 + H2O so it looks like this... NaHCO3 + HCl ---> NaCl + CO2 + H2O


What do HCl and CaSO4 form?

HCl + CaSO4 --> No reaction because sulphate salts are very stable and can not be broken down with the help of any acid. If aqueous HCl is added to anhydrous CaSO4 and then mixture is heated to dryness then dihydrated Calcium sulphate, CaCO4.2H2O (Gypsum) may form.


Find out the mass of HCL needed to react completely with 0.20 g of ammonia gass?

Use grams to moles to moles to grams: 0.2 g of ammonia gas (NH3) is equivalent to 0.012 moles of NH3 (divide by 17g/mole) One mole of NH3 reacts with one mole of HCl: NH3 + HCl <=> NH4Cl So we need 0.012 moles of HCl to react with 0.012 moles of NH3 0.012 moles HCl * 36.5 g/mole HCl => 0.43 g HCl


Does gypsum fizz in HCL?

No, gypsum does not fizz in hydrochloric acid (HCl) like carbonate minerals do. Gypsum is a sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, so it does not react with HCl to produce carbon dioxide gas like carbonates do.


Do sodium salicylate react with HCl and NaOH and NaHCO3?

Sodium hydroxide in a pure form is a solid, so you cannot dissolve anything in it. Normally, NaOH is used as an aqueous solution. But salicylic acid dissolves in water, so the presence of NaOH in the water is irrelevant to the solubility of salicylic acid. It is the water, not the NaOH, that dissolves the salicylic acid.


Does silicon dioxide react with HCl?

silicon reacts as a semi conductor so it reacts with almost anything.

Why should concentrated hcl help clean out a test tube soiled with cu2o?

The HCl will react with the CuO in a double replacement reaction given by the equation: 2HCl + CuO --> CuCl2 + H2O. Copper(II) chloride is water soluble, so it will clean right out.
