3-Methylpent-2-ene (CH3CH=C(CH3)CH2CH3) reacts with Hydrogen Chloride(HCl) forming a major and minor product. Please name the reaction, draw the mechanism for the formation of the major product and briefly explain why there is a major and a minor product.

This is an example of electrophilic addition.(It's easier to explain with the mechanism drawn) The mechanism proceeds by electrophilic attack of the Hydrogen in HCl originating from the double bond in 3-m...

The curve C has equation y=3x^3-11x+1/2. The point P has coordinates (1, 3) and lies on C . Find the equation of the tangent to C at P.

In order to find the gradient of a tangent to the curve C we must differentiate our equation for C.dy/dx= 9x2-11To find the gradient of a tangent at a specific point P we substitute the coordin...
