An alkene with the molecular formula c8h16 undergoes ozonolysis to yield a mixture of (ch3)2c=o and (ch3)3ccho. the alkene is:

a. 2,2-dimethyl-2-hexene.

b. 2,3-dimethyl-2-hexene.

c. 2,4-dimethyl-2-hexene.

d. 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene.

e. more than one of these choices is a possible answer.

2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of and

Explanation:

In ozonolysis (hydrolysis step involve a reducing agent such as Zn, etc.), a pi bond is broken to form ketone/aldehyde.

Ketone is formed from di-substituted side of double bond and aldehyde is formed from mono-substituted side of double bond.

Ozoznolysis involves two consecutive steps : (1) formation of ozonide, (2) hydrolysis of ozonide.

Hydrolysis can be done with/without using reducing agent. Carboxylic acid/carbon dioxide/ketone is produced when hydrolysis is done without using reducing agent.

Here, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of and

Reaction steps are shown below.

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
