Answer:

Reaction mechanism has been given below

Explanation:

Propanoyl chloride contains an electrophilic carbonyl center to give nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction by removing Cl group with a strong nucleophile like methylmagnesium bromide.
Two equivalent of methyl magnesium bromide react with cabonyl center followed by protonation of negatively charged oxygen atom gives 2-methyl-2-butanol.
In the first step, nucleophilic acyl substituion occurs. In the second step, nucleophilic addition occurs. In the third step, protonation occurs.
Reaction mechanism has been shown below.

Calculate the mass percent (m/m) of a solution prepared by dissolving 51.56 g of NaCl in 164.2 g of H2O. Express your answer to

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

"23.896%" is the right answer.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of NaCl,

= 51.56 g

Mass of H₂O,

= 165.6 g

As we know,

⇒ Mass of solution = $Mass \ of \ (NaCl+H_2O)$

= $51.56+164.2$

= $215.76 \ g$

hence,

⇒ $Mass \ percent =\frac{Mass \ of \ NaCl}{Mass \ of \ solution}\times 100$

$=\frac{51.56}{215.76}\times 100$

$=23.896 \ percent$

What would be the final volume of the new solution if the 0.2 m solution on the left were diluted to 0.04 m? ml quizley?

marin [14]

Missing question: volume of solution on the left is 10 mL.
V₁(solution) = 10 Ml.
c₁(solution) = 0.2 M.
V₂(solution) = ?.
c₂(solution) = 0.04 M.
c₁ - original concentration of the solution, before it gets diluted.
c₂ - final concentration of the solution, after dilution.
V₁ - volume to be diluted.
V₂ - final volume after dilution.
c₁ · V₁ = c₂ · V₂.
10 mL · 0.2 M = 0.04 M · V₂.
V₂(solution) = 10 mL · 0.2 M ÷ 0.04 M.
V₂(solution) = 50 mL.

In CF4 and NF3, the ___electron groups on the central C and N atoms have a ___ arrangement. The shapes of the molecules are dete

enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

In CF4 and NF3, the valence electron groups on the central C and N atoms have a tetrahedral arrangement. The shapes of the molecules are determined by the number of bonding and nonbonding of electrons: since CF4 has four bonded atom(s) and zero lone pair(s) of electrons, the shape is tetrahedral.

What does temperature indirectly measure? 1)Sound 2)Thermometers 3)Chemical Reactions 4)Heat

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

Temperature is the average thermal energy (or heat) in a substance. Sound isn't really related, thermometers measure temperature, and chemical reactions can produce heat, but none of those are measured by temperature.
