Benzyl Amine is synthesized from Toluene in two steps;

Step 1: Bromination of Methyl Group in Toluene:
Bromination is carried out on methyl group present on Benzene ring through free radical mechanism by treating toluene with N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) and Benzyl Bromide is formed.

Step 2: Benzyl Bromide into Benzyl Amine;
This step is carried out utilizing a neme reaction "Gabriel Reaction". Benzyl bromide is treated with Potassium Phthalamide and an intermediate is formed which on treatment with Hydrazine produces Benzyl amine.

A slice of Swiss cheese contains 48 mg of sodium

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: grams=0.048g, ounces=0.0017oz, 0.00011lb

Explanation:

Stoichiometry

48 mg x 1 g

÷ 1000 mg = 0.048 g

48 mg x 1 g x 16 oz

÷ 1000 mg ÷ 453.6 g = 0.0017 oz

48 mg x 1 g x 1 lb

÷ 1000 mg ÷ 453.6 g = 0.00011 lb

What is the significance of wanting to know what the pH of a solution is?

balu736 [363]

pH is an important parameter for many reactions to take place in solution and in biological systems. It is related to the concentration of H⁺ ions through the following expression:

pH = 1/[H⁺] = -log [H⁺]

Wanting to know the pH of a solution is equivalent to knowing the amount of hydrogen ions present. But the pH scale is more convenient than the concentration scale because pH usually takes values between 0 and 14.

When pH < 7 the solution is acid.
When pH = 7 the solution is neutral (like pure water).
When pH > 7 the solution is basic.

When does phenolphthalein turn pink?

Gelneren [198K]

Phenolphthalein is often used as an indicator in acid–base titrations. For this application, it turns colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. Phenolphthalein is slightly soluble in water and usually is dissolved in alcohols for use in experiments.

VashaNatasha [74]

A subshell which is 100% full or 50% full is more stable than subshells which are partially filled with a number of electrons less than or greater than half the number of electrons which can be held by the subshell.
