Select the single best answer. When 2-heptyne was treated with aqueous sulfuric acid containing mercury(II) sulfate, two products, each having the molecular formula C7H14O, were obtained in approximately equal amounts. What are these two compounds

heptan-3-one and heptan-2-one

Explanation:

In this case, we must remember what the products of this reaction are. An alkyne in the presence of HgSO4 and H2SO4 will produce a ketone. But, in the triple bond, we have two carbons, therefore the carbonyl group can be placed on any of the carbons of the triple bond.

In figure 1 we have the general reaction. At C = O it can be added to the carbon on the left (red carbon) or the carbon on the right (blue carbon).

Following this logic, for 2-heptyne the carbonyl group can be added to carbon 2 producing heptan-2-one. Similarly, the carbonyl group can be added to carbon 3 producing heptan-3-one. (See figure 2)

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .

the answer is na (sodium)
