Heating carvone with aqueous sulfuric acid converts it into carvacrol. The mechanism involves the following steps:
1 answer:
Answer:
See figure 1
Explanation:
In this question, we have to start with the <u>protonation of the double bond</u>. In carvone we have two double bonds, so, we have to decide first which one would be protonated.
The problem states that the <u>terminal alkene</u> is the one that would is protonated. Therefore, we have to do the <u>protonation</u> in the double bond at the bottom to produce the <u>carbocation number 1</u>. Then, a hydride shift takes place to produce the <u>carbocation number 2</u>. A continuation, an <u>elimination reaction</u> takes place to produce the <u>conjugated diene</u>. Then the diene is protonated at the <u>carbonyl group</u> and with an elimination reaction of an hydrogen in the <u>alpha carbon</u> we can obtain <u>carvacol. </u>

Explanation:
The gas ideal law is
PV= nRT (equation 1)
Where:
P = pressure
R = gas constant
T = temperature
n= moles of substance
V = volume
Working with equation 1 we can get
The number of moles is mass (m) / molecular weight (mw). Replacing this value in the equation we get.
or
(equation 2)
The cylindrical container has a constant pressure p
The volume is the volume of a cylinder this is
Where:
r = radius
h = height
(pi) = number pi (3.1415)
This cylinder has a radius, r and height, h so the volume is
Since the temperatures has linear distribution, we can say that the temperature in the cylinder is the average between the temperature in the top and in the bottom of the cylinder. This is:
Replacing these values in the equation 2 we get:
(equation 2)
