George Wittig was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1979. The crown of his work is the discovery of the alkene synthesis from carbonyl compounds and phosphorus ylides. In his honor, this reaction was later called the Wittig reaction.Wittig found that phosphoric ylides attack the carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones, creating alkenes, as a result of the double bond between ylide and carbonyl carbon.

For a synthesis of 2-methyl-2-pentene over Wittig reaction as phosphonium ylide we will use triphenyl(propylidene)phosphorane and as carbonyl-containing molecule a propan-2-one (reaction is shown in the picture below).

Molodets [167]

Answer:

35.578g or 36g if you round

Explanation:

Q=mc ∆∅ where ∅ is temperature difference

1160= m x 1.716 x (42-23)

m = 1160/ 1.716 x19

m=35.578g

m = 36g to nearest whole number

How many uL are present in 250 mL of H20? (1 uL = 10^-6 Liters)​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

250000 μL

Explanation:

If         1 L = 1000 mL

Then  X L = 250 mL

X = (1 × 250) / 1000 = 0.25 L

Now we can calculate the number of microliters (μL) in 0.25 L:

if        1 μL = 10⁻⁶ L

then   X μL = 0.25 L

X = (1 × 0.25) / 10⁻⁶  =250000 μL
