Why are geologists able to make long-term predictions fairly well?

Draw a mechanism for the reaction of methylamine with 2-methylpropanoic acid. Draw any necessary curved arrows. Show the product

Nitella [24]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

On this case we have a base (methylamine) and an acid (2-methyl propanoic acid). When we have an acid and a base an acid-base reaction will take place, on this specific case we will produce an ammonium carboxylate salt.

Now the question is: ¿These compounds can react by a nucleophile acyl substitution reaction? in other words ¿These compounds can produce an amide? 

Due to the nature of the compounds (base and acid), the nucleophile (methylamine) doesn't have the ability to attack the carbon of the carbonyl group due to his basicity. The methylamine will react with the acid-producing a positive charge on the nitrogen and with this charge, the methylamine loses all his nucleophilicity.

I hope it helps!

How are lysosomes similar to vacuoles?

lawyer [7]

Lysosomes are simlar to vacuoles by them working together basically. they both are enclosed organelle compartments within cell. vacuoles store the food waste, bacteria, etc. while the lysosomes breaks them down

Cyclopropane is more reactive than most cycloalkanes. What factors lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloal

maw [93]

Answer: The factor that lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloalkanes is the presence of a RING STRAIN.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the end carbon atoms of an open aliphatic chain can join together to form a closed system or ring to form cycloalkanes. Such compounds are known as cyclic compounds. Examples include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane and many among others.

Cyclopropane is less stable than other cycloalkanes mentioned above because of the presence of ring strain in its structural arrangement. The ring strain is the spatial orientation of atoms of the cycloalkane compounds which tend to give off a very high and non favourable energy. The release of heat energy which is stored in the bonds and molecules cause the ring to be UNSTABLE and REACTIVE.

The presence of the ring strain affects mainly the structures and the conformational function of the smaller cycloalkanes. cyclopropane, which is the smallest cycloalkane than the rest mentioned above, contains only 3 carbons with a small ring.

Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) is often used in self-contained breathing devices, such as those used in fire emergencies, because it re

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

725.15 L

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Na₂O₂ and CO₂ is the following:

Na₂O₂ + CO₂ → Na₂CO₃ + 1/2 O₂

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, 1 mol of Na₂O₂ reacts with 1 mol CO₂. So, the stoichiometric ratio is 1 mol Na₂O₂/1 CO₂.

Now, we convert the mass of reactants to moles by using the molecular weight (Mw) of each compound:

Mw (Na₂O₂) = (23 g/mol x 2) + (16 g/mol x 2) = 78 g/mol

moles Na₂O₂ = 96.7 g/(78 g/mol) = 1.24 mol Na₂O₂

Mw (CO₂) = 12 g/mol + (16 g/mol x 2) = 44 g/mol

moles CO₂ = 0.0755 g/(44 g/mol) = 1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂

Now, we calculate the number of moles of CO₂ we need to completely react with the mass of Na₂O₂ we have:

1.24 mol Na₂O₂ x 1 mol CO₂/1 mol Na₂O₂ = 1.24 mol CO₂

In 1 L of respired air we have 1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂ (0.0755 g), so we need the following number of liters to have 1.24 mol of CO₂:

1.24 mol CO₂ x 1 L/1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂ = 725.15 L

Wat is significant figures

Sav [38]

Answer:

0.052301 km have 5 significant figure
400 cm have 1 significant figure
50.0 m have 3 significant figure
4500.01 ml have 6 significant figure

Explanation:

According to rules of significant figure

0.052301 km have 5 significant figure:

Zero to the left of the first non zero digit not significant.
Zero between the non zero digits are significant.

400 cm have 1 significant figure:

Trailing zeros are not significant in numbers without decimal points.

50.0 m have 3 significant figure:

Trailing zeros are significant in numbers when there is decimal points.

4500.01 ml have 6 significant figure:

Zero between the non zero digits are significant.
