Question

Write two complete balanced equations for each of the following reactions, one using condensed formulas and one using Lewis structures.
(a) propanol is converted to dipropyl ether
(b) propene is treated with water in dilute acid.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Write two complete balanced equations for each of the following reactions, one using condensed formulas and one using lewis structures.

(a) propanol is converted to dipropyl ether.

(b) propene is treated with water in dilute acid.

Step 2

Part (a) First we will see the mechanism of conversion

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

so we need  2 molecules of  propanol and we get dipropyl ether

MOLECULAR FORMULA 

2CH3CH2CH2OH   (CH3CH2CH2)2O  + H2O
