In prop-2-en-1-ol, the strongest intermolecular forces acting between the molecules are hydrogen bonds. In propanal, the strongest intermolecular forces acting between molecules would be permanent dipole-...

Temperature: Exothermic reaction= energy given out to surroundings. Endothermic reaction= energy taken in from surroundings.

If say a reaction runs at 300 degrees and we increase the temperature to...

Unsaturated fats usually have a C=C double bond, e.g. vegetable oil. So, it's 'unstable' because of the high concentration of negative charge (electrons). Bromine (B2) is not polarised. However, as it app...

The mechanism is an Electrophilic Addition. Explanation of the drawing: Draw a curly arrow from the but-1-ene double bond to the H and a curly arrow from the HBr bond to Br; forming a secondary carbocatio...

For any reaction, the equilibrium constant is given in the form: K = [products] / [reactants]

Where [ ] is used to denote the concentration of the species. 

Therefore we can substitute in fo...
