Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the addition of HCN in water with NaOH to heptan-4-one to give the corresponding cyanohydrin

in the fewest steps. Draw the arrows that lead to the resonance structures with full octets around each atom other than hydrogen. Draw all electrons and charges if necessary on all structures; do not show any inorganic side products or counterions. Reagents needed for each step are provided in the boxes.

Answer:

Cyanohydrin is formed through nucleophilic addition of cyanide ion to carbonyl center of the given ketone

Explanation:

  • NaOH maintains basic medium. Hence dissociation of HCN gets favored to produce nucleophile CN^{-}
  • In first step, CN^{-} is produced through dissociation of HCN.
  • In second step, CN^{-} gives nucleophilic addition at the cabonyl center of heptan-4-one,
  • In the third step, protonation of negatively charged oxygen atom occurs leading to formation of cyanohydrin.
  • Full reaction mechanism has been shown below.

How many milliliters of a 0.266 M RbNO3 solution are required to make 150.0 mL of 0.075 M RbNO3 solution? How many milliliters o
Westkost [7]

Answer : 42.3 ml of a 0.266 M RbNO_3 solution are required.

Solution : Given,

Molarity of RbNO_3 solution 1 = 0.266 M

Molarity of RbNO_3 solution 2 = 0.075 M

Volume of RbNO_3 solution 2 = 150 ml = 0.150 L      (1 L = 1000 ml)

Formula used :

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1 = Molarity of RbNO_3 solution 1

M_2 = Molarity of RbNO_3 solution 2

V_1 = Volume of RbNO_3 solution 1  

V_2 = Volume of RbNO_3 solution 2

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get

0.266M\times V_1=0.075M\times 0.150L\\V_1=0.042293L=42.293ml\approx 42.3 ml                 (1 L = 1000 ml)

Therefore, 42.3 ml of a 0.266 M RbNO_3 solution are required.

A geologist finds an area with a lot of slate, a type of metamorphic rock, on the surface of the land. What might this indicate
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two things that can be deduced by this finding would be that the location was most likely a very muddy area with lots of clay minerals, as well as having lots of crustal movements. This is because slate is created when crustal movement buries clay minerals and other materials in the crust of the Earth. This is later melted and squeezed together from the sheer heat that is applied  being so far underground. Therefore, creating what we now know as Slate.

How many moles of NaCl are present in 2.50 L of a 0.070 M solution?
posledela

Given :

Volume of NaCl solution 2.5 L .

Molarity of NaCl solution is 0.070 M .

To Find :

How many moles are present in the solution.

Solution :

Let, n be the number of moles.

We know, molarity is given by :

M = \dfrac{n}{V(in\ L)}

So,

n = M \times V\\\\n = 0.070\times 2.5 \\\\n = 0.175\ moles

Therefore, number of moles of NaCl is 0.175 moles.
