Butanoic Acid is converted to Butanal in two steps;

Step 1: Conversion of Butanoic Acid into Butyryl Chloride:

Butanoic Acid when treated with Thionyl Chloride gives Butyryl Chloride, SO₂ and HCl gases. This step is selected due to conversion of a bad leaving group (-OH) into a good leaving group (-Cl).

Step 2: Conversion of Butyryl Chloride to Butanal:

In this reaction the Butyryl Chloride is reduced to Butanal by treating Butyryl Chloride with a mild reducing agent i.e. Lithium tri tert-butoxy aluminum hydride.

A patient receives 3.3 L of glucose solution intravenously (IV). If 100. mL of the solution

artcher [175]

Answer:

660kcal

Explanation:

The question is missing the concentration of the glucose solution. Standard glucose concentration for IV solution is 5% or 5g of glucose every 100mL of solution.

We need to determine how many grams of glucose are there inside the solution. The number of glucose in 3.3L solution will be:

3.3L * (1000mL / L) * (5g/100mL)= 165 g.

If glucose will give 4kcal/ g, then the total calories 165g glucose give will be: 165g * 4kcal/ g= 660kcal.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1, just I) color.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties that can be observed without changing the composition of a substance, such as color, temperature, density, and boiling point.

A physical change is a change in the substance that only modifies its aggregation state, such as solidification, and boiling.

Chemical properties are the properties that need a reaction to being observed, such as the combustibility, which needs a combustion reaction to being quantified.

When a chemical reaction occurs, and the composition of the substance change, it's a chemical change.

So, the heating copper with carbon is a chemical reaction, and purification by electrolysis is too. Color is the only physical property.

What is the difference between cell and cellmembrane

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

So, a cell, in easiest terms, is "the building blocks of life". Without cells, humans, plants, animals, and anything else that has a cell would not be able to survive. Cells are extremely important to our bodies. Whereas a Cell Membrane is an organelle inside a cell. The Cell Membrane's job is to provide protection for the cell, as well as deciding which substances can enter and exit the cell.

I hope this helps!
