The standard atomic weight is the average mass of an element in atomic mass units ("amu"). Though individual atoms always have an integer number of atomic mass units, the atomic mass on the periodic table is stated as a decimal number because it is an average of the various isotopes of an element.
The balanced reaction is
Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH
If 2.24 moles of sodium oxide react, that means 4.48 moles of NaOH is formed as it is a 1 to 2 stoichiometric relationship.
Now we multiply by the molar mass to get grams.
4.48 moles NaOH * (39.997 grams/1 mole) = 179.2 grams
Your answer is 179. grams.
Answer:
Axial position
Explanation:
In the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride, the major product has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the axial position.
The reason for this is that, axial bonds are parallel to each other. If substituents are larger than hydrogen, they experience a greater steric crowding in axial compared to the equatorial position. Therefore, many substituted cyclohexane compounds prefer a conformation in which the larger substituents are in equatorial position.
There are 3 significant figures. Significant numbers are the numbers that build up your total number. 1-9 always count, 0 only counts if it’s after another number. For example: 0,901 has 3 significant numbers as does 0,910. 9,10 also has 3. 0,09 has just 1.
Answer:
See detailed mechanism in the image attached
Explanation:
The mechanism shown in detail below is the synthesis of serine in steps.
The first step is the attack of the ethoxide ion base on the diethyl acetamidomalonate substrate giving the enolate and formaldehyde.
The second step is the protonation of the oxyanion from (1) above to form an alcohol as shown.
Acid hydrolysis of the alcohol formed in (3) above yields a tetrahedral intermediate, a dicarboxyamino alcohol.
Decarboxylation of this dicarboxyamino alcohol yields serine, the final product as shown in the image attached.
