The reaction mechanism for an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone to react with basic peroxide to form an epoxide is shown below with a general ketone. The basic hydroxide is used to deprotonate the peroxide molecule to create a strong HOO- nucleophile. The peroxide then attacks the beta-carbon of the alkene and this pushes the electrons up to the oxygen of the carbonyl. This is the first intermediate that is formed during this reaction.

After the intermediate is formed, the lone pair from the oxygen pushes back down to form the carbonyl once more and this breaks a carbon-carbon bond which attacks the oxygen of the peroxy group, ultimately substituting an -OH group and forming the final epoxide ketone product.

Is milk a solution, suspension, compound , colloid ?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Colloids (heterogeneous)

The difference between a colloid and a suspension is that the particles will not settle to the bottom over a period of time, they will stay suspended or float. An example of a colloid is milk. Milk is a mixture of liquid butterfat globules dispersed and suspended in water.

Complete and balance the following redox reaction in basic solution
inn [45]

Answer:

balanced in ACID not BASE

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Answer

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Explanation:

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq)

add H^1+ (acid) to capture the O and make 7 water molecules

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) + H^1+ ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Cr goes from +6 to +3 by gaining 3 e

Hg goes from 0 to +2 by losing 2 e

we need 3 Hg for every 2 Cr

so

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

2 Cr on the right and left

Net 12 positive charges on the right and the left

3 Hg on the right and left

14 H on the right and left

the equation is balanced

we cannot balance the equation in a basic solution with OH^1-

we have plenty of O in the dichromate ion. we need to convert it to water which take free H^1+ from the acid
