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.

Acetic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.76. What is the concentration of acetate in a buffer solution of 0.2M at pH 4.9. Give

Ghella [55]

Answer:

$[base]=0.28M$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation one can compute the concentration of acetate, which acts as the base, as shown below:

$pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{pH-pKa}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{4.9-4.76}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=1.38\\\\$

$[base]=1.38[acid]=1.38*0.20M=0.28M$

Regards.

What does transmutation do

dexar [7]

Answer:

transmutation, conversion of one chemical element into another. A transmutation entails a change in the structure of atomic nuclei and hence may be induced by a nuclear reaction (q.v.), such as neutron capture, or occur spontaneously by radioactive decay, such as alpha decay and beta decay .

The molecular weight of potassium ferricyanide is 329.24 grams/mol. How would you make 1 liter of a 500mM potassium ferricyanide

True [87]

Answer:

w = 164.62 g

Explanation:

molarity of a solution is given as -

Molarity (M) = ( w / m ) / V ( in L)

where ,

m = molecular mass ,

w = given mass ,

V = volume of solution ,

From the question ,

M = 500 mM = 0.5 M

( since , 1 mM = 1 / 100 M)

As we know , the molecular mass of potassium ferricyanide = 329.24 g/ mol

V = vol.of solution = 1 L

w = ?

<u>To find the value of w , using the above formula , and putting the respected values , </u>

Molarity (M) = ( w / m ) / V ( in L)

0.5 = ( w / 329.24 ) / 1 L

w = 164.62 g
