Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
You may have done a Williamson synthesis of guaifenesin by reacting guaiacol with 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol.
A. Mechanism
Step 1
NaOH converts guaiacol into a phenoxide ion.
Step 2
The phenoxide acts as the nucleophile in an SN2 reaction to displace the Cl from the alkyl halide.
B. Improve the yield
You probably carried out the reaction in ethanol solution — a polar protic solvent.
You might try doing the reaction in a polar aprotic solvent— perhaps DMSO.
A polar aprotic solvent does not hydrogen bond to nucleophiles, so they become stronger.
C. Another method of ether synthesis —dehydration of alcohols
Sulfuric acid catalyzes the conversion of primary alcohols to ethers.
This is also a nucleophilic displacement reaction.
Protonation of the OH converts it into a better leaving group.
Attack by a second molecule of alcohol forms the protonated ether.
A molecule of water then removes the proton.
One kilogram is equal to one thousand grams. Further, one gram is equal to 1000 mg. The conversion is as shown below,
(6.285 x 10³ mg) x (1 g / 1000 mg) x (1 kg / 1000 g)
The numerical value of the operation above is 0.006285 kg.
Answer:
The answer is aluminum foil.
The answer for the following question is option "C".
Option C is not included in the John Dalton's modern theory of an atom.
- "It states atoms of different elements combine to form new compound" but not new elements
Explanation:
According to John's Dalton's modern theory of an atom:
1. All matter is composed of atoms.
2. Atoms cannot be created,destroyed or subdivided in the ordinary chemical reactions.
3. Atoms of one element differ in the properties from atoms of an another element.
(i.e.)Each and every atom of the element has its own unique properties of their own.
4. Atoms of one element combine with the atoms of another element to <u>form new compound.</u>
5. Atoms that make up an element are identical to each other.
Answer: Option d. pressure increase by a factor of 3
Explanation:
P1 = P
T1 = 300k
T2 = 900K
P2 =?
Volume is constant.
P1/T1 = P2/T2
P/300 = P2/900
P2 x 300 = P x 900
P2 = (P x 900)/300
P2 = 3P
The pressure increased by a factor of 3
