Answer:
The nichrome wire is dirty.
The solution is contaminated.
Explanation:
If the nichrome wire is dirty, it may contain sodium contaminants which may be responsible for the yellow flame. The nichrome wire is first inserted into the flame without the sample to check for impurities.
The test solution may also have been contaminated. This leads to the appearance of a colour different from the expected colour of the test cation in the solution.
Answer:
The hydrogen can be gotten from the added Acid or water during "workup".
Explanation:
Basically we can say that the reaction describe in this question is a Reduction reaction because of the chemical compound called sodium borohydride. In the reaction described above we can see that there is a Reduction of ketone to alcohol by the compound; sodium borohydride.
For the reduction Reaction to occur the C-O bond must break so as to enable the formation of O-H bond and C-H bond.
So, "the reaction mixture is treated with water and H2SO4 to produce the desired alcohol", thus, the oxygen will definitely pick up the hydrogen from H2SO4 or H2O.
I think the correct answer among the choices presented above is option A. An ore is rock that contains a mineral or metal with economic usefulness. Examples are copper ore, gold ore and iron ore. These ores are being extracted from the Earth by mining.
