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.
The central vacuole stores materials, wastes, and helps give the plant structure and support.
Hope this helps!
The answer is C, Uranium.
Natural gas, coal, and oil are all naturally made from fossils. Uranium is an element which can be found on the Periodic Table of Elements.
Colligative properties are properties of solutions that result from adding solute to a solvent and that depend on the concentration of solute particles, but independent of the identity of the solute molecules or ions. The four colligative properties are boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure lowering.
