TEA [102]3 years ago
3 0
Plutonium<span> is </span>made<span> from U-238. Pu-239 is normally </span>created<span> in nuclear reactors by transmutation of individual atoms of one of the isotopes of uranium present in the fuel rods. Occasionally, when an atom of U-238 is exposed to neutron radiation, its nucleus will capture a neutron, changing it to U-239.</span>

when 1.570 grams of the compound is vaporizedar 300 degrees celius and 1 atmosphere, the gas occupies a volume of 577 milliliter
Archy [21]

Answer:

128 g/mol

Explanation:

The molar mass is how much a mol of the substance weight.

In this question the weight is given (1.570 g).

To find the number of moles in the sample, we use the ideal gas law: PV=RnT

P= 1atm

V= 577mL= 0.577L

R (universal gas constant)= 0.08206(\frac{atm*L}{mol*K})

n= number of moles

T= 300°C= 573.15K

Solving for n:

n= \frac{1 atm*0.577L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*573.15} <em>k</em>

n=0.0123mol

Molar mass=\frac{1.570g}{0.0123 mol}

Molar mass=128\frac{g}{mol}

What carboxylic acid would be formed if the malonic ester synthesis (alkylation of diethyl malonate followed by hydrolysis with
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

cyclohexilic acid

Explanation:

The malonic ester synthesis is often used to form different types of carboxilic acid. In this case, we have excess of base, so we can expect a ring formed in the molecule.

In the first step, the base substract the more acidic hydrogen of the ester. In the next step we have the ester reacting with the dibromopentane. Then, in the next step, the excess of base will substract again the acidic hydrogen remaining of the carbon, and then, will promove a Sn2 reaction with the bromine in the pentane (That it was previously attached to the molecule). In this step, a ring id formed. Then, the hydrolisis with acid, will form carboxilic acid in both sides of the molecule, and finally the decarboxilation in heat will separate the molecule and formed the cyclohexilic acid.

The picture below shows the mechanism
