Draw curved arrows to show electron reorganization for the mechanism step below. (For a resonance-stabilized anion, draw a single resonance form with the negative charge on oxygen, not on carbon.) Make the ends of your arrows specify the origin and destination of reorganizing electrons.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear student, this question appears to be incomplete but in the diagram attached below, I have carefully drawn out the required organic structure.

The aim of this question is to show the mechanism of the given structure and to point out the resonance structure.

The first diagram shows the complete part (i.e. the structure of the organic compound) and its major product(answer).

The second diagram shows the mechanism by which we arrived at the major product.

From the second diagram attached below, the -oxo substituent of the methanol attacks the hydrogen atom as shown below, leading to the formation of the enolate ion (a resonance stabilized anion).

However, this is because the alpha carbon attaches to the hydrogens readily leaves as H⁺ to yield an enolate ion as a result of -C- that is doubly bonded to oxygen (an Electron withdrawing group).

Kindly check out the images attached below to see the mechanism.

A 15.0 mL solution of 0.10 M Fe(NO3)3 reacts with K2C204 ​according to the reaction 2 Fe(NO3)3 + 3 K2C2O4 → Fe2 (C2O4)3 ​+ 6 KNO3 . What volume of 0.30 M K2C2O4 is needed to react completely?

Answers

The volume of 0.30 M potassium chromate needed to react with 15 ml of 0.10 M ferric nitrate is 5 ml.

What is molarity?

Molarity of a solution is the ratio of its number of moles of solute to the volume of solution in liter. It is the common term used to express the concentration of a solution.

Let V1 and M1 be the volume and molarity of solution 1 and V2 and M2 that of solution 2 which are reacting together.

Thus, V1 M1 = V2 M2.

The volume of 0.30 M potassium chromate is calculated as  follows:

volume = (15 ml × 0.10 M) / 0.30 M = 5 ml.

Therefore, the volume of the potassium chromate solution is 5 mL.

Acid-catalyzed addition of water to an alkene yields an alcohol with Markovnikov regiochemistry.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Markovnikov rule states that the negative part of the addendum is added to the carbon atom having the least number of hydrogen atoms.

This means that during acid-catalyzed addition of water to an alkene, the -OH is added to the more substituted carbon atom while the -H is added to the least substituted carbon atom in obedience to Markovnikov regiochemistry.

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Acid-catalyzed addition of water to an alkene yields an alcohol with Markovnikov regiochemistry. The electrophilic H+ adds to the sp2 carbon with the most hydrogens to yield the most stable carbocation intermediate, which then adds water to give the product alcohol.

M = 237 g ; T = 41.2°C ; C = 4.184 j/g°C

Answer:

Quantity of heat gained = 67401.6 Joules

Quantity of heat lost by hot water = 40854.25 Joules

Explanation:

The heat gained by cold liquid :

Q = m × c × ΔT

m = 248.9 g ; T = 72.6°C ; C = 3.73 j/g°C

Q = 248.9 * 3.73 * 72.6

Q = 67401.6 Joules

Quantity of heat gained = 67401.6 Joules

Heat lost by hot water :

m × c × ΔT

M = 237 g ; T = 41.2°C ; C = 4.184 j/g°C

Q = 237 * 41.2 * 4.184

Q = 40854.25 Joules

Answers

Answer:

[tex]T_2=484.8K[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the the variable temperature and pressure and constant volume, it turns out possible for us to calculate the new temperature via the Gay-Lussac's law as shown below:

[tex]\frac{T_2}{P_2} =\frac{T_1}{P_1}[/tex]

Thus, by solving for the final temperature, T2, we obtain:

[tex]T_2 =\frac{T_1P_2}{P_1}[/tex]

So we plug in the given data to obtain:

[tex]T_2 =\frac{303K*200atm}{125atm}\\\\T_2=484.8K[/tex]

A 31.25 mL aliquot of weak base that has a concentration of 0.683 M will be titrated with 0.434 M HCl. Calculate the pH of of the solution upon neutralization of half of the weak base. The Kb of the base is 1.5×10-6.

Answers

Answer:

pH = 8.18

Explanation:

The weak base, X, reacts with HCl as follows:

X + HCl → HX⁺ + Cl⁻

Where 1 mole of X with 1 mole of HCl produce 1 mole of HX⁺ (The conjugate acid of the weak base).

Now, using H-H equation for bases:

pOH = pKb + log [XH⁺] / [X]

Where pOH is the pOH of the buffer (pH = 14 -pOH)

pKb is -log Kb = 5.824

And [X] [HX⁺] are the molar concentrations of each specie

Now, at the neutralization of the half of HX⁺, the other half is as X, that means:

[X] = [HX⁺]

And:

pOH = pKb + log [HX⁺] / [X]

pOH = 5.824 + log 1

pOH = 5.824

pH = 14-pOH

pH = 8.18

What is the greatest concentration of pollution

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:The poisonous substances, present in the environment can easily get into the trophic level as living organism depends on each other and environment for food and nutrition. These poisonous substances may not be broken down in the body or excreted easily, efficiently and quickly. Instead, they accumulate in the tissues, and as the living organism eats more, the concentration of these substances increases and they pass from one trophic level to the next. The tertiary consumer being at the top of trophic levels receives the maximum pollutant. This phenomenon is known as biological magnification.

So, the correct answer is option B.

ANSWER A

In the western U.S., ranchers aggressively killed wolves because they posed a threat to their cattle. As the wolf population declined, the deer population began increasing. As a result, the surrounding forest ecosystems experienced increasing damage. The large number of deer ravaged vegetation and destroyed young trees. The entire ecosystem became degraded until wolves became protected when they were determined to be an endangered species. Based on this information, what can you infer about the role of the wolves in this ecosystem? Please make it 3-5 sentences. Thank you so much

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

You can make a couple of statements.

The wolves are preditors. They eat meat.The wolves hunt only 1 kind of food. They are not interested in young trees or grass (well not much anyway). If one species is allowed to get out of control, the entire ecosystem suffers because of it.This last statement only becomes true if man allows the hunted species that controlled the deer to regain good numbers. Man can be a blockhead sometimes; he learns slowly at times.

Answer:

The wolves role in the ecosystem is to hunt/eat deer. In the question it states, "...ranchers aggressively killed wolves because they posed a threat to their cattle. As the wolf population declined, the deer population began increasing." It's clearly cause and affect, the wolves use to eat a lot of deer, then a large percentage of wolves died by the ranchers. The wolves role in the ecosystem is to hunt deer and help balance out animal to vegetation ratio.

An isolated atom of a certain element emits light of wavelength 655 nm when the atom falls from its fifth excited state into its second excited state. The atom emits a photon of wavelength 435 nm when it drops from its sixth excited state into its second excited state. Find the wavelength of the light radiated when the atom makes a transition from its sixth to its fifth excited state.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}} \approx 752nm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Light wavelength  [tex]\lambda_l=655nm[/tex]

Light wavelength atom fall [tex]x_L=5th-2nd[/tex]

Photon wavelength  [tex]\lambda_p=435nm[/tex]

Photon wavelength atom fall [tex]x_P=^th-2nd[/tex]

Generally the equation for the reciprocal of wavelength of emitted photon is is mathematically given by

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{ \lambda _f^2}-\frac{1}{\lambda _i^2} )[/tex]

Therefore for initial drop of 5th to 2nd

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{5^2} )[/tex]

Therefore for initial drop of 6th to 2nd

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

Generally we subtract (5th to 2nd) from (6th to 2nd)

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{5^2} )-\frac{1}R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}=\frac{1}{4350nm}-\frac{1}{655nm}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}=1.33*10^{-3}[/tex]

Therefore for 6th to 5th stage is mathematically given by

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}}=(1.33*10^{-3})^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}}=751.879nm[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}} \approx 752nm[/tex]

For the wild type (unmutated) enzyme, you measure a rate of p-nitrophenol release by the change in absorbance at 405 nm (for the slower phase only) of 0.216 (in a cuvette with a pathlength of 1 cm) over the course of two minutes. Use the Beer-Lambert Law to calculate the concentration of product released over this time; the extinction coefficient of p-nitrophenol at 405 nm is 18,000 M-1 cm-1.

Answers

Answer:

1.2x10⁻⁵M = Concentration of the product released

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer's law states the absorbance of a solution is directly proportional to its concentration. The equation is:

A = E*b*C

Where A is the absotbance of the solution: 0.216

E is the extinction coefficient = 18000M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b is patelength = 1cm

C is concentration of the solution

Replacing:

0.216 = 18000M⁻¹cm⁻¹*1cm*C

1.2x10⁻⁵M = Concentration of the product released

Explanation:

We have the three equations:

[tex]NH_{3(g)} + HCl_{(g)} => NH_4Cl_{(s)} ..... \Delta H = ? (1)\\2HCl_{(g)} => H_{2(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} .... \Delta H = +184.6 kJ (2)\\2H_{2(g)} + 1/2N_{2(g)} + 1/2Cl_{2(g)} => NH_4Cl_{(s)} ..... \Delta H = -314.2 kJ (3)\\ N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} => 2NH_{3(g)} .... \Delta H = +184.6kJ (4)[/tex]

(can you double check that it is 184.6kJ for both equations 2 and 4 because it seems unlikely). We need to solve for equation 1 by addition and changing equations 2, 3 and 4. After possibly some trial and error, we can find that if we flip equations 4, multiply equation 3 by 2, add the equations together, and then finally divide by 2, we can get equation 1. We will get the answer of -314.2 kJ. However, I am again skeptical about the delta H values for equation 2 and 4 so double check that. This method might be super confusing and it is really hard to explain. So what I would suggest you to watch videos on Hess' law.

1/16
1/4
1/2
1/8

Answers

Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Half-life (t½) = 269 years

Time (t) = 1076 years

Fraction remaining =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 269 years

Time (t) = 1076 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 1076 / 269

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the fraction of the original amount remaining. This can be obtained as follow:

Let N₀ be the original amount.

Let N be the amount remaining.

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Fraction remaining (N/N₀ ) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁴ × N₀

N = 1/16 × N₀

Divide both side by N₀

N/N₀ = 1/16

Thus, the fraction of the original amount remaining is 1/16

calculate the percentage of CL in AL(CLO3)3​

Answers

Answer:

38.4%

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the molar mass of Al(ClO₃)₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Al(ClO₃)₃

= 27 + 3[35.5 + (16×3)]

= 27 + 3[35.5 + 48]

= 27 + 3[83.5]

= 27 + 250.5

= 277.5 g/mol

Next, we shall determine the mass of Cl in Al(ClO₃)₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Cl in Al(ClO₃)₃ = 3 × Cl

= 3 × 35.5

= 106.5 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of Cl in Al(ClO₃)₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Cl in Al(ClO₃)₃ = 106.5 g

Mass of Al(ClO₃)₃ = 277.5 g

Percentage of Cl =?

Percentage of Cl = mass of Cl / mass of Al(ClO₃)₃ × 100

Percentage of Cl = 106.5 / 277.5 × 100

Percentage of Cl = 38.4%
