The student said correctly that using a thermometer with an overall uncertainty for the rise in temperature of 0.5 degrees was adequate for this experiment.
Explain why this thermometer was adequate for this experiment.
Temperature change is more significant than uncertainty.
Name and outline the mechanism for the formation of 3-bromo-3-methylpentane from this reaction of 3-methylpent-2-ene with hydrogen bromide.
3-bromo-3-methylpentane is formed as a major product as it's formed from a 3y carbocation
2-bromo-3-methylpentane is formed a 2y carbocation.
