Alkynes are reduced to trans alkenes by a process called dissolving metal reduction. The reaction uses sodium or lithium metal a

s the reducing agent and liquid ammonia as the solvent. The method is specific in the formation of trans alkenes from alkynes. The method involves two successive transfers of single electrons from the alkali metal to the triple bond, with abstraction of protons from the ammonia solvent.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.Arrow-pushing Instructions

NISA [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The movement of the electrons is illustrated in the picture attached to this answer. It is a four-step reaction mechanism.

First STEP: The first step involves the transfer of an electron from sodium to form a radical anion.

Second STEP: This radical anion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia in a bid to neutralize itself (hence the hydrogen becomes bonded to the anion).

Third STEP: The sodium (from NaNH₂ formed) transfers an electron again to produce a vinyl carbanion.

Fourth STEP: The carbanion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia (like in the second step) to form a neutral trans-alkene.

NOTE: The circled numbers denote each step while the mechanism on the left represents the use of any alkyl group (R and R') while the mechanism on the right assumes both alkyl groups are methyl. Hence, 2-butyne started the reaction and the final product was trans-2-butene.

A reaction is second order respect to the reactant A. If the reaction is 85% complete in 12 minutes, how long would it take for
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

e. 22s

Explanation:

Initial Concentration = 100

Final concentration = 15 ( Since the reaction is 85% complete)

Time = 12 minutes = 720 seconds

The integrated rate law for second order reactions is given as;

1 / [A] = (1 / [A]o) + kt

Making k subject of interest, we have;

kt = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o )

k = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o ) / t

k = [(1/ 15) - (1 / 100) ] / 720

k = (0.0667 - 0.01 ) / 720

k = 0.0567 / 720

k = 7.875e^-5

How long would it take for the reaction to be 15% complete?

Final concentration = 85 (Since the reaction would be 15% complete)

The integrated rate law for second order reactions is given as;

1 / [A] = (1 / [A]o) + kt

Making t subject of interest, we have;

kt = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o )

t = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o ) / k

t = [(1 / 85 ) - (1 / 100) ] / 7.875e^-5

t = (0.0117 - 0.01 ) / 7.875e^-5

t = 0.001765 / 7.875e^-5

t = 22.41 seconds

To indicate the pH of a substance, one can use a dye that is both an acid and that appears as different colors in its protonated
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

<em>The pH of the solution is 7.8</em>

Explanation:

The concentration of the solution is 0.001M and  the dye could be in its protonated and deprotonated forms. If the concentration of the protonated form [HA] is 0.0002 M the concentration of the deprotonated form will be the subtraction between the concentration of the bye and the concentration of the protonated form:

[A-] = 0.001M - 0.0002M = 0.0008M

Also, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is

pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

this equation shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the protonated and deprotonated forms. Thus, replacing in the equation

pH = 7.2 + Log \frac{0.0008M}{0.0002M} = 7.8
