The antibiotic prontosil, developed by bayer pharmaceuticals in 1932, was used in saving the life of president roosevelt's son f
1 answer:
Prontosil is a compound produced by the coupled reaction of an aryldiazonium ion and an aromatic compound.
<h3>What are diazonium compounds?</h3>
These are organic compounds in which there are ionic interactions between the azo group (-N₂⁺) and an anion X⁻.
The general structure is RN₂⁺X⁻.
- R is the lateral chain that might be an aromatic ring, among other options.
- N₂⁺ is the azo group
- X⁻ is the anion
The azo group characterizes as being unstable and reactive. This property is because one of the N atoms has a positive charge.
-N⁺≡ N
<h3>What is the coupling reaction of aryldiazonium compounds?</h3>Aryldiazonium salt reactions can occur in two ways,
- Substitution reactions
- Coupling reactions
Coupling reactions are the aromatic electrophilic substitution, where the aryldiazonium ion acts as an electrophile for an activated aromatic compound to attack it.
The coupling reaction occurs at the azo group level.
In the exposed example,
- the benzene ring with sulfur bonded to oxygen atoms is the coupling component
- the benzene ring with NH₂ and the azo group is the diazonium ion

Answer:
Gas
Increase the pressure
Explanation:
Let's refer to the attached phase diagram for CO₂ (not to scale).
<em>At -57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase?</em>
If we look at the intersection between -57°C and 1 atm, we can see that CO₂ is in the gas phase.
<em>At 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is in the gas phase. From these conditions, how could the gaseous CO₂ be converted into liquid CO₂?</em>
Since at 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is below the triple point, the only way to convert it into liquid is by increasing the pressure (moving up in the vertical direction).
