7. (#8!!) READ carefully! 2-methyl-1-butene reacts with a dilute, strong acid
(H+) at 25°C. Isomerization occurs in the intermediate stage of the reaction
and the isomeric product 2-methyl-2-butene is formed. HINT: The
intermediate has a carbocation on the TERTIARY carbon in the compound.
a. At equilibrium, the product mixture contains about 24% STARTING
material and about 75% product. Calculate Keq for this reaction.
b. What is the approximate value of AGSuperscript double daggero
C. Add curved arrows to the mechanism.
