Alkenes can be hydrated via the addition of borane to yield alcohols with non-Markovnikov regiochemistry. a. True
b. False

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Initially, the addition of borane to the alkene takes place in the form of a concerted reaction owing to the dissociation of the bond and subsequent formation, which occurs at a similar time. After that the Anti Markovnikov supplementation of boron takes place. The addition of this atom takes place with the less substituted carbon of the alkene that then substitutes the molecule of hydrogen on the more substituted carbon.

Then through the donation of a pair of electrons from the hydrogen peroxide ion, the process of oxidation takes place resulting in the formation of trialkylborane. After this realignment of an R group with its pair of bonding, electrons take place with adjacent oxygen resulting in the withdrawal of a hydroxide ion. Eventually, the trialkylborate reacts with the aqueous NaOH to generate alcohol and sodium borate as the side product.

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2

its b it was a compound
