Tollens’ test, also known as silver-mirror test, is a qualitative laboratory test used to distinguish between an aldehyde and a
1 answer:
Explanation:
Tollens' reagent is prepared by using two-step process : -
Step 1:
Silver oxide is formed by mixing aqueous silver nitrate with base like sodium hydroxide. The reaction is shown below as:
Step 2
Ammonia solution is drop-wise added until all the silver oxide dissolves to form the reagent. The reaction is shown below as:

Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to obtain the number of moles of the solute we desired to prepare;
Number of moles = molarity x volume
Parameters given;
volume of solution = 500mL = 0.5L
molarity of solution = 0.5M
Number of moles = 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25moles
Now to know the volume stock to take;
Volume of stock =
molarity of stock = 4M
volume = = 0.0625L or 62.5mL
Answer:
The structure with the ring flipped is the most stable
Explanation:
We have the trans 1,2 - dimethylcyclohexane. With the wedge/dash structure we could not figure is this form is stable (If we do a comparison with the cis structure). But when we do a chair structure and ring flipped structure, this is easier to look.
The picture attached shows the structures, they are labeled as 1, 2 and 3, according to this problem.
In the chair structure, according to the picture below, you can see that both methyls are heading in the axial positions of the ring (One facing upward and the other downward). This is pretty stable, however, when the methyls are in those positions, the methyl position 1, can undergoes an 1,3 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms (They are not drawn, but still are there), so this interaction makes this structure a little less stable that it can be.
On the other side, the ring flipped structure, we can see that both methyls are in the equatorials positions of the ring, and in these positions, it can avoid the 1,4 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms, making this structure the most stable structure.
Hope this helps
