<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?

A) 1 < 2 < 3

B) 2 < 3 < 1

C) 3 < 1 < 2

D) 1 < 3 < 2

<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>

Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.

A carbonyl compound is a sp^2 hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.

In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: The correct answer is Option 1.

Explanation:

Control group is the group used in the experiment by the researchers in which no change in the variable is done. It is then set as a benchmark for the groups which are being tested.

We are given 4 groups which are being experimented for the flotation of an egg in water. As in Cup 1, there is no addition of salt and hence there is no change in the variables. So, this is set as a benchmark fro the cups which are further used in the experiment conducted.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

What is extrapolation?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

A. Predicting data that fall beyond a known data point

Explanation:

Extrapolating is unreliable because you are predicting data outside of the data range - anything could happen for the data to stop following the trend or pattern

Copper has a density of 8.96 g/cm3. If 75.0 g of copper is added to 50.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, to what volume rea
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    Final volume = 58.37 ml

Explanation:

Data

density = 8.96 g/cm³

mass = 75 g

volume of water = 50 ml

Process

1.- Calculate the volume of copper

  Density = mass / volume

Solve for volume

  Volume = mass / density

Substitution

  Volume = 75/8.96

Simplification

  Volume = 8.37cm³    or 8.37 cm³

2.- Calculate the new volume of water in the graduated cylinder

  Final volume = 50 + 8.37

  Final volume = 58.37 ml
