The product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes is ethyl 4- hydroxybutanoate .

Sodium borohydride is a relatively selective reducing agent  Ethanolic solutions of Sodium borohydride reduces aldehyde , and ketone , in the presence of acid chloride , ester , epoxide , lactones , acids , nitriles , nitro groups.

The sodium borohydride does not reduce ester group because sodium borohydride is not strong enough and the electrophilicity at carbony carbon of ester is not more as compare toaldehyde , and ketone

The product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes is ethyl 4- hydroxybutanoate .

Determina el grado de pureza de un marmol (CaCO3), si al descomponerse 125 g del mismo se desprenden 20 litros de dióxido de car
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

67.8%

Explanation:

La reacción de descomposición del CaCO₃ es:

CaCO₃ → CO₂ + CaO

<em>Donde 1 mol de CaCO₃ al descomponerse produce 1 mol de CO₂ y 1 mol de CaO.</em>

Usando la ley general de los gases, las moles de dioxido de carbono son:

PV = nRT.

<em>Donde P es presión (1atm), V es volumen (20L), n son moles de gas, R es la constante de los gases (0.082atmL/molK) y T es temperatura absoluta (15 + 273.15 = 288.15K). </em>Reemplazando los valores en la ecuación:

PV / RT = n

1atmₓ20L / 0.082atmL/molKₓ288.15K = 0.846 moles

Como 1 mol de CO₂ es producido desde 1 mol de CaCO₃, las moles iniciales de CaCO₃ son 0.846moles.

La masa molar de CaCO₃ es 100.087g/mol. Así, la masa de 0.846moles de CaCO₃ es:

0.846moles ₓ (100.087g / mol) = <em>84.7g de CaCO₃</em>

Así, la pureza del marmol es:

(84.7g de CaCO₃ / 125g) ₓ 100<em> = </em>

What is the ph of a 0.006 m koh solution? 1. 11.78 2. 7.00 3. 2.22 4. 8.88 5. 5.12?
Stels [109]
The concentration of OH⁻ is first converted to pOH bu using followinf formula,

                                           pOH  =  -log [OH⁻]
Putting value,
                                           pOH  =  -log (0.006)

                                           pOH  =  2.221
As we know,
                                   pH + pOH  =  14
Solving for pH,
                                   pH  =  14 - pOH
Putting value of pOH,
                                   pH  =  14 - 2.221

                                   pH  =  11.779
Result:
           Option-1
is the correct answer.

Two masses exerting a force on each other is an example of________
777dan777 [17]

The correct answer is option C, that is, the universal law of gravitation.  

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, every particle fascinates every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly equivalent to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. This is a usual physical law obtained from empirical observations by what Isaac Newton knew as inductive reasoning.

(a) Glutenin, a wheat protein rich in disulfide bonds, is responsible for the cohesive and elastic character of dough made from
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Through extensive bonding

Explanation:

Oxidation of two cysteine gives disulphide bonds. They are covalent in nature. Given as;

R-CH2-SH + R'-CH2 +02 = R-CH2-S-S-CH2-R' + H202

They are the stabilizing force behind protein folding the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins being the backbone of our genetic constitution require disulphide bonding to stabilize the peptide molecules and the extent and number of this bonding determines the Resistance of the protein molecule to extreme conditions e.g extreme heat which denatures proteins and elasticity as well.
