1. Analyze the reactions. Determine the type of reaction that is occurring and then provide an additional example of another reaction that would follow the same mechanism. Please note that you may not use examples provided in the course content. (1 mark each)
a. CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3 + HBr → CH3CH2CH(Br)CH3 + H2O
b. CH3CHCHCH(CH3)2 + Cl2 → CH3CH(Cl)CH(Cl)CH(CH3)2
c. 2-methyl-2-pentene producing 2-methylpentane
d. acetic acid combining with methanol to form CH3COOCH3 and water
2. Identify each of the following types of reactions, and then name the family of the product formed. (4 marks)
a. CH3CH2CH2CHO and an oxidizing agent
b. CH3COOH and CH3CH2OH
3. Draw the reactants and products for the reaction below. (4 marks)
a. Consider how it is possible for two products to form in this reaction, and identify the major product, giving your reasons for both.
b. What type of reaction is this classified as?
