Which of the following statements about the ordinary IR spectroscopic regions are TRUE? 1. In general, the IR FUNDAMENTAL region

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: the statements in 1 and 2 are true of IR spectroscopic region.

1. In general, the IR FUNDAMENTAL region has a longer wavelength region than the region we call the ultraviolet (uv) region.

2. We can sense some of the frequencies of the FUNDAMENTAL region of the IR as heat

Explanation:

IR has energy value between 10^-5eV - 10^-2eVwhile

UV has energy value of 4eV - 300eV

IR has low photon energy and cannot alter atoms and molecules while UV has sufficient energy to iodize atoms therefore UV has a higher energy band.

Infrared light falls just outside the visible spectrum, beyond the edge of what we can see as red.

Draw the structural formula of the major product of the reaction of (S)-2,2,3-trimethyloxirane with MeOH, H . Use the wedge/hash

Katarina [22]

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an epoxide opening in acid medium. The first step then is the protonation of the oxygen. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most stable carbocation. The nucleophile ( $CH_3OH$ ) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is deprotonated to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule (S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol.

See figure 1

To separate a mixture of iron filings and salt, the most efficient method would be

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Of course you could do the separation chemically. Dissolve the salt up in water, pass thru a filter, wash the iron filings with ethanol, which would encourage the salt to precipitate from solution.

I do hope I helped you! :)

the rate of disappearance of Br- at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 x 10-4 M/s. What is the rate of appearance of B

ddd [48]

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol M/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced reaction

2 Br⁻ ⇒ Br₂

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

The molar ratio of Br⁻ to Br₂ is 2:1.

Step 3: Calculate the rate of appearance of Br₂

The rate of disappearance of Br⁻ at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ M/s. The rate of appearance of Br₂ is:

3.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br⁻/L.s × (1 mol Br₂/2 mol Br⁻) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br₂/L.s

Calculate the average atomic mass of element X using the table below. Then use the periodic table to identify the element. Separ

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

126.8, Iodine

Explanation:

mass ×abundance/100
(126.9045×80.45/100)+(126.0015×17.23/100)+(128.2230×2.23/100)
102.1+21.7+3=126.8

IODINE has an atomic mass of 126.8 or 126.9
