Answer:

PhCH2CH2COOH

Explanation:

This is a reaction of PhCH2CH2Br with KCN in the presence of H3O^+. The reaction first leads to the formation of PhCH2CH2CN.

We must recall that part of the properties of nitriles is that they can be converted to carboxylic acids in the presence of H3O^+. This is a common synthetic route for carboxylic acids.

Therefore, when the PhCH2CH2CN is now further reacted with H3O^+, the carboxylic acid PhCH2CH2COOH is formed as the major organic product of the reaction, hence the answer given above.

Question #1: Identify the type of Mutation below
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Deletion

Explanation:

A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence. This means that the original sequence of bases in the DNA has been altered permanently.

There are three types of DNA mutations;  base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

In the particular case of this question, the original is TTCGATA while the copy is TTGATA. If you look closely at the two, you will notice that the C has been omitted. This is an example of  deletion.

Which of these statements is false? (A) Acetylene (ethyne) can be converted to the acetylide anion by treating with a strong bas
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

(C) Acetylene (ethyne) can be converted to the acetylide anion by treating with a strong base such as CH₃​​Li.

Explanation:

Acetylene (C₂H₂) can be converted to the acetylide anion (C₂⁻²) when treated with a base because it will donate protons (2H⁺). So it will be a neutralization reaction. NaNH₂ and NaOH are strong bases because they are good electrons donators ( NaNH₂ has pair of electrons on N, and NaOH has the group OH⁻), but CH₃Li has no pair of electrons to donate, so it's not a strong base.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Caesium (55Cs) has 40 known isotopes, making it, along with barium and mercury, one of the elements with the most isotopes. The atomic masses of these isotopes range from 112 to 151. Only one isotope, 133Cs, is stable. The longest-lived radioisotopes are 135Cs with a half-life of 2.3 million years, ... It constitutes most of the radioactivity still left from the Chernobyl accident ...
