Furan is readily acetylated on treatment with acetic anhydride and a Lewis acid, such as BF3. Predict the major regioisomer produced (A or B) in this reaction and choose the answer that most fully describes the reasons why.

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. 2co2 (g) 2co (g) + o2 (g) h° = -514 kj le châtelier's principle predicts that the equilibrium partial pressure of co (g) can be maximized by carrying out the reaction a. at high temperature and high pressure b. at high temperature and low pressure c. at low temperature and low pressure d. at low temperature and high pressure e. in the presence of solid carbon
