Draw the reactants and products of the following reaction:
3-ethyl-2-heptene + hoh → 3-ethyl-3-heptanol + 3-ethyl-2-heptanol
consider how it is possible for two products to form in this reaction, and identify the major product, giving your reasons for both.
what type of reaction is this classified as?

This reaction is an hydration of alkenes and the major product is 3-ethyl-2-heptanol

Explanation:

In this reaction in the first step water is the nuclophile and the alkene is the electrophile. Then, the carbanion is the nucleophile and attacks a proton from the water forming the respective alcohol. This carbanionic compound is a reaction intermediary. You can see the mechanism in the picture.

Is that carbanionic compound who explained the major product because the more substituted carbanion the most stable intermediary. Thus, the 3-ethyl-2-heptanol intermediary is the most stable and this product is the major one.

I hope it helps!

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

d: the voltage of the secondary coil is less than that of the primary coil.

im not suree sorry if wrong
