Which acid could not be prepared by treating a Grignard reagent with CO2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

4-oxopentanoic acid.

Explanation:

In this case, we must remember that the Grignard reaction is a reaction in which <u>carbanions</u> are produced. Carboanions have the ability to react with CO2 to generate a new C-C bond and a carboxylate ion. Finally, the acid medium will protonate the carboxylate to produce the <u>carboxylic acid group. </u>

The molecules that can follow the mechanism described above are the molecules: p-methylbenzoic acid, cyclopentane carboxylic acid and 3-methylbutanoic acid. (See figure 1)

In the case of <u>4-oxopentanoic acid</u>, the possible carbanion <u>will attack the carbonyl group</u> to generate a cyclic structure and an alcohol group (1-methylcyclopropan-1-ol). Therefore, this molecule cannot be produced by this reaction. (See figure 2)

What is the approximate percent composition by mass of cabr2 (formula mass =200)
Aleksandr [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

20% calcium and 80% Bromine

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The percentage composition of an element in a compound is given by dividing the mass of the element in the compound by the relative formula mass of the compound and expressing it as a percentage.
  • % Composition = (mass of element in 1 mole of compound /relative formula mass of the compound) 100%

Our compound is CaBr₂

Formula mass = 200 g

Relative atomic mass of Ca = 40.078

Relative atomic mass of Br = 79.904

Therefore;

% composition of Ca = (40.078/200) 100%

                                  = 20.039

                                  = 20 %

% composition of Br = (79.904×2)/200) 100%

                                 = 79.904 %

                                = 80%

Therefore; the approximate % composition by mass of CaBr₂ is 20% calcium and 80% Bromine

Lerok [7]
•A wave produced by the acceleration of an electric charge and propagated by the periodic variation of intensities of, usually, perpendicular electric and magnetic fields

In other words : They are radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves

They are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles.
