We have to get the product of the addition reaction between butanal and water.

The product of the addition reaction between butanal and water is the gem di-ol which is unstable and it produces the reactant i.e. butanal only.

The reaction is shown in the figure.

From the figure we can see that in the addition reaction there the –C atom of the –CHO (aldehyde group) possess two –OH (hydroxyl group) as a product (gem-diol) of addition reaction, which is highly unstable and water molecule are regenerate to form the reactant i.e. butanal again.

Igneous intrusion D is younger than layers B, C, and E according to

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Law of cross-cutting relationships

Explanation:

This interpretation is based on the law of cross - cutting relationships.

This law states that "faults and fractures that cuts through a rock are younger than the rocks they cut through".

In a sequence of strata, the strata that are not cut through by these features are younger than the cross -cutting features.
The igneous intrusion is younger since it cuts through the rock layers.

If a 0.4681 g Mg strip reacts with 0.650 M HCl in a 139.3 mL flask at 25oC, what is the minimum volume (mL) of HCl needed to com

Marizza181 [45]

The reaction between the magnesium, Mg, and the hydrochloric acid, HCl is given in the equation below,

Mg + 2HCl --> H2 + MgCl2

The number of moles of HCl that is needed for the reaction is calculated below.
n = (0.4681 g Mg)(1 mol Mg/24.305 g Mg)(2 mol HCl/1 mol Mg)
n = 0.0385 mols HCl

From the given concentration, we calculate for the required volume.
V = 0.0385 mols HCl/(0.650 mols/L)
V = 0.05926 L or 59.26 mL

<em>Answer: 59.26 mL of HCl</em>
