You can automatically rule out CH₄ since it has no lone pairs at all around the central atom. Water has 2. Ammonia is the only Lewis structure that contains one lone pair.
The protons of methylene group between the two carbonyl groups in ethylacetoacetate are acidic in nature. When compounds containing such acidic protons are treated with bases the loose proton and form enolates.
In this particular example when ethylacetoacetate is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide, the methyl group abstracts the acidic proton and converts into
methane gas. The enolate when hydrolyzed is again converted into ethylacetoacetate as shown below,
Answer: 1741289L
Explanation:
1 gallon = 3.78541 L
4.6×10^5 gallons = 4.6×10^5 x 3.78541 = 1741289L
Answer:
Two half lives.
Explanation:
It is known that the decay of isotopes and radioactive material obeys first order kinetics.
Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.
That means for a sample 100% to decay to 50 % it will take one half-life, and to decay the remaining 50% to 25% it will take another half-life.
So, for a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter it will have two half-lives.
