Answer :  The answer will be \Rightarrow 2\times 10^{13}

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the multiplication and division is :

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

As we are given the expression :

\frac{4\times 10^8}{2.0\times 10^{-5}}

\Rightarrow 2\times 10^{13}

In the given expression, 4\times 10^8 has 1 significant figure and 2.0\times 10^{-5} has 2 significant figures. From this we conclude that 1 is the least significant figures in this problem. So, the answer should be in 1 significant figures.

Thus, the answer will be \Rightarrow 2\times 10^{13}

Provide the reagents necessary to convert (S)-3-methyl-3-phenylpentanoic acid to (5)-3-methyl-3-phenylpentanamine.
8090 [49]

Answer:

1. SOCl2/pyridine

2. NH3

3. LiAlH4

4. H2O

Explanation:

In the conversion of  (S)-3-methyl-3-phenylpentanoic acid to (5)-3-methyl-3-phenylpentanamine, SOCl2/pyridine is first added to the  (S)-3-methyl-3-phenylpentanoic acid

This is then followed by the addition of NH3 is subsequently added followed by reduction using LiAlH4 which reduces the carbonyl carbon to an alkane. addition of water completes the mechanism and leads to the formation of the product.
