What is the type of reaction illustrated by the following? CH3 —CH2 —CH2 —OH + HBr → CH3 —CH2 —CH2 —Br + H2O *

substitution
addition
hydrogenation
oxidation

The given reaction is a substitution reaction.

Explanation:

CH₃ - CH₂ -CH₂ - OH + HBr → CH₃ - CH₂ -CH₂ - Br + H₂O

When propanol is treated with hydrogen halide say HBr that is hydrogen bromide then the bromide ion from HBr replaces hydroxyl group in propanol, so it is called as substitution reaction, since -OH group is substituted by Br group. Mostly alcohols undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Alcohols when treated with hydrogen halide -OH is substituted by  -Br group, so it is called as substitution reaction.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
