question 12 (10 points)\nlisten\nwhat product is formed when ch3ch2ch2ch2 - sh is oxidized?\nch3ch2ch2ch\nch3…

Explanation:

Step1: Recall oxidation of thiols

Thiols ($R - SH$) are oxidized to disulfides ($R - S - S - R$) in the presence of oxidizing agents.

Step2: Identify the product for given thiol

For $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2 - SH$, the oxidation product is $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2 - S - S - CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$.

Answer:

$CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2 - S - S - CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definition of secondary alcohol

A secondary alcohol has the hydroxyl - group ($-OH$) attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to two other carbon atoms.

Step2: Analyze options (not shown fully here but based on general knowledge)

A compound like $CH_3CH(OH)CH_3$ is a secondary alcohol. But since options are not fully visible, the general concept is that the carbon with $-OH$ should have two alkyl groups attached to it.

Answer:

(No options are fully visible to give a specific answer, but conceptually, a secondary alcohol has the $-OH$ on a carbon bonded to two other carbons)
