Answer:

Reagent A: PBr₃

Reagent B: Mg in Et₂O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, your facing a problem in which a carboxylic acid is produced starting by an alcohol. More specifically, cyclopentanol must react with phosphorous tribromide in order to yield bromocyclopentane which is more likely to produce a carboxylic acid, therefore, reagent A is PBr₃.

On the other hand, by means of the production of the specified product, bromocyclopentane must react with carbon dioxide and magnesium in diethyl ether in acidic media to promote the production of the cyclopentanoic acid via the grignard reaction (substitution of the bromine by the carboxyle group), therefore, reagent B is Mg in Et₂O.

Best regards.

Answer:

Insight

Explanation:

Insight is the understanding of a specific cause and effect within a specific context. The term insight can have several related meanings:

a piece of information
the act or result of understanding the inner nature of things or of seeing intuitively (called noesis in Greek)
an introspection
the power of acute observation and deduction, discernment, and perception, called intellection or noesis
an understanding of cause and effect based on identification of relationships and behaviors within a model, context, or scenario (see artificial intelligence)

An insight that manifests itself suddenly, such as understanding how to solve a difficult problem, is sometimes called by the German word Aha-Erlebnis. The term was coined by the German psychologist and theoretical linguist Karl Bühler. It is also known as an epiphany, eureka moment or (for cross word solvers) the penny dropping moment (PDM). Sudden sickening realizations identifying a problem rather than solving it, so Uh-oh rather than Aha moments are further seen in negative insight. A further example of negative insight is chagrin which is annoyance at the obviousness of a solution missed up until the point of insight.

If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?

Alchen [17]

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, $HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}$
