Nh4cl is sometimes preferred instead of hcl or h2so4 for "acid" work-up after grignard reactions, particularly when the expected and desired product is a tertiary alcohol because NH4+ is a much milder acid than HCl or H2SO4, which achieve the protonation of

the oxyanion to yield the alcohol while minimizing the risk of dehydration.

Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is the used as reagent that quenches the magnesium alkoxide product of the Grignard addition.

It is a proton source without being acidic as in acidic medium the protonation of the tertiary alcohol product and elimination to the alkene.

In the presence of HCl or any other strong acid protonation proceed and form alkene but not with ammonium chloride.

Thus from above we concluded that Nh4cl is preferred instead of hcl or h2so4 for "acid" work-up after grignard reactions.

for number less than 0.1, such as 0.06, the zeros to the right of the decimal point but before the first nonzero digit
qaws [65]

For the number less than 0.1 such as 0.006, the zeroes to the right of the decimal point but before the first non zero digit show the decimal place of the first significant digit.

  • The number that is given as digits is established using significant figures.
  • Any two non-zero digits that are separated by a zero are significant figure.
  • Every zero that is both to the right and left of a non-zero digit and the decimal point is not significant figure.
  • The quantity of significant figures frequently reveals the degree of measurement accuracy. From the first non-zero digits in the figure, we may determine the number of significant figures.

There is only one significant figure in the provided number 0.06. The decimal place of the first digit is indicated by the zeros that appear to the right of the decimal point but before the first non-zero digit.

If a body`s efficiency is 75% what does it mean?​
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: It’s producing 75% of it’s potential.

Example: If I were to be playing basketbal, and my body was working at 75%, then there is 25% of energy that I’m not using, making me worse than if I was using 100%.

At standard temperature and pressure, 1 mole of gas has what volume? A. 2.4 liters B. 22.4 liters C. 42.4 liters D. 76.6 liters
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: B.22.4 liters

Explanation:

When we attribute to a certain fixed mass of a given gas a fixed number of molecules. Avogadro considered that the mass of 36g of oxygen at any temperature and pressure would have a fixed number of molecules to which he called 1 mol of molecules. So by definition 1 mole of molecules would have a number of molecules equal to that present in 36 g of oxygen. The occupied volume by one mole of molecules at a given temperature and pressure is called molar volume and consists in 22,4 Liters. The molar volume matches the Avogadro Hypothesis (created in 1811 by Amedeo Avogadro), where equal volumes of different gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have even number of moles.
