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.
The nuclear symbol of an element have three parts namely:
- the symbol of an element
- mass number of the element
- atomic number of the element
The general representation is as:
where X is the chemical symbol of the element, A is mass number of the element that is total number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom, and Z is atomic number of the element that is number of protons in the atom.
Element = Gallium, (given)
Number of neutrons = 40 (given)
Let the nuclear symbol be . So, we need to determine the values of "?" in the symbol.
Atomic number of Gallium, = 31
Since, atomic number = Number of protons.
So, number of protons of Gallium, = 31
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Substituting the values:
Mass number =
So, the nuclear symbol is .
