What product is obtained from the aldol condensation of cyclohexanone?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

First product is FCH-OH chemically known as 2-[2-furyl(hydroxyl)methyl]-Second product is FCH i.e (2E)-2-[2-furyl-methylene]-cyclohexanone

Explanation:

Please see the attached image for complete chemical reaction of aldol condensation of cyclohexanone

Aldol Condensation is a form of electrophilic substitution reaction in which the alpha carbon in enols or enolate anions is substituted by an electrophile to form carbon-carbon bond. Cyclohexanone also known as the first ketone consists of two alpha-carbons and four potential substitutions i.e alpha-hydrogens but none of the hydrogen on the ring is substituted. Ketones such as cyclohexanone are much more acidic than their parent hydrocarbon.

First product is FCH-OH chemically known as 2-[2-furyl(hydroxyl)methyl]-cyclohexanone that further undergoes dehydration resulting into FCH i.e (2E)-2-[2-furyl-methylene]-cyclohexanone

Based on the explanations above, the compound formed is shown in the image.

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$41.81^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector $\overrightarrow{OA}$ is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, $\vec {R}$ must be in the north direction.

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector $\overrightarrow {OA}$ and head of the vector $\overrightarrow{AB}$ must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

$|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23$

$\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}$

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of $41.81^{\circ}$ in the north of east direction.

Why collaboration in science is critical to success in the scientific community

Marianna [84]

Collaboration in science is important because if only one scientist does an experiment, and gets a result, he/she could have messed. So this is where collaboration comes in. A few other scientists could try the experiment, and if they get the same answers, the result may be proven correct.

Hope this helped!
