4-hydroxypentanal reacts with one equivalent of methanol to form a cyclic acetal.

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation is given as:

CH3CHOHC2H4CHO + CH3OH --> CYCLIC ACETAL + H2O

This above equation is carried out in the presence of a strong acid. There are five mechanisms employed and they are:

Step 1:

Initial formation of the hemiacetal which takes several steps

Step 2:

Addition of a proton. The hemicetal is protonated on the hydroxyl group (-OH group)

Step 3:

As seen a bond is broken to give the H2O molecule and a resonance stabilized cation.

The carbonyl group on the cation is enriched with the oxygen-18 got from the H2O molecule as seen in the mechanism.

Step 4:

An attraction occurs between electrophile and nucleophile i.e the stabilised cation and the lone paids of the methanol.

Step 5:

Finally, a proton (+) is removed from the molecule by a lone pair of electron on the methanol.

Attached are the Steps 1 - 5 mechanism below

in which of the following is the symbol for the ion and the number of electrons it contains given correctly? *
gregori [183]

Answer:Number of electrons that are present in an atom is determined by the electronic configuration of that atom.

If an ion is carrying a positive charge, it means that the atom has lost electrons and if an ion is carrying a negative charge, it means that the atom has gained electrons.

For the given options:

Option A: The atomic number of hydrogen atom is 1 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom does not have any electrons.

Option B: The atomic number of bromine atom is 35 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom has 36 electrons.

Option C: The atomic number of aluminium atom is 13 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:

An electrolysis reaction is
Llana [10]

Answer:

the electrolysis reaction is a non- spontaneous reaction

Explanation:

Since electrons flow from it, the anode in an electrolytic cell is positive, while the cathode is negative when electrons flow into it. The device functions like a galvanic cell in that direction. In an electrolytic cell, an external voltage is applied and that is what causes a non spontaneous reaction

How heat moves from one end of a solid to another
pantera1 [17]
In conduction, the thermal energy of a particle is transferred to other particles throughout the solid. The particles with more energy are transferred to those with less.

(Please help, ASAP) How many grams are in 3.45x10^23 atoms of P?
Daniel [21]

one mole of P weights about 31 grams

in one mole there are 6.022*10^23 atoms

we use the rule of threes

6.022*10^23atoms......weight..........31 grams

3.45*10^23 atoms.........weight...........x grams

x=(3.45*10^23*31)/6.022*10^23

x=106.95/6.022=<u><em>17.76 grams</em></u>

A scientist is investigating the structure of aluminum nitrate, which has the chemical formula Al(NO3)3. Based on the chemical f
bekas [8.4K]
The chemical formula of aluminium nitrate is - Al(NO₃)₃
cation is Al³⁺
anion is NO₃⁻
One Al atom binds to three nitrate groups 
the options given are 
2. <span>It has three aluminum (Al) atoms 
this is incorrect as there's only one Al atom 
3. </span><span>It has one NO3 group.
this is incorrect as there are three nitrate groups
4. </span><span>It has nine nitrogen (N) atoms
there are only 3 N atoms therefore this too is incorrect 
</span>therefore the correct answer is - 
It has three NO₃<span> groups
