The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?
A) 1 < 2 < 3
B) 2 < 3 < 1
C) 3 < 1 < 2
D) 1 < 3 < 2
<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>
The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.
Option B
<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>
Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.
A carbonyl compound is a 
hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.
In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.

Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 7.7g of ammonia?
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer:
12.23g ≈ 12g (2 s.f)
Explanation:
Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. The balanced chemical reaction is given as:
4 NH3 + 5 O2 -------> 4 NO + 6 H2O
From the reaction;
4 mole of ammonia reacts to produce 6 moles of water
From the question;
Moles = mass / molar mass
From the question;
moles of ammonia = mass / molar mass = 7.7 / 17 = 0.4529moles
Number of moles of water produced;
4 = 6
0.4529 = x
x = (0.4529 * 6 ) / 4
x = 0.67935moles
Mass of water = moles * molar mass = 0.67935 * 18 = 12.23g ≈ 12g (2 s.f)
Answer:
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. This means to find the number of neutrons you subtract the number of protons from the mass number. On the periodic table, the atomic number is the number of protons, and the atomic mass is the mass number.
