Answer:

  The mechanism of this reaction i shown on the second uploaded image

The final product of the reaction is shown on the third uploaded image

The hydroxide would be first mixed with the ketone group before the aldehyde is added  

Explanation:

The compound given in the question is 2,2-dimethylpropanal (pivalaldehyde) the structural formula is shown on the first uploaded image

looking at the structurally formula we can see that the hydroxide promoted reaction of this compound would be between the ketone and aldehyde functional group present in this compound in the presence of a hydroxide

Now this process of the reaction is this

    The OH^- is first  made to react with the ketone group

     Then the aldehyde is added

     What happens is that that the OH^- would search for an acidic proton because it is a base and this acidic proton is present in ketone and absent in aldehyde group hence the reason for the first reaction with the ketone group before the aldehyde is added

Draw structures from the following names, and determine which compounds are optically active:(c) 1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane
dolphi86 [110]

The given compound 1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane is an optically active compound .

Because this compound does not have plane of symmetry (POS) and center  of symmetry (COS) i.e. does not have di-symmetry . And also forms non superimposable mirror image . the compound is optically active .

It has  chiral center.

Here , the chiral carbon is attached to the 4 distinct groups such as :  methyl , ethyl , bromine , bromomethane .

<h3>What is di-symmetry?</h3>

Di-symmetry is that which have no center of symmetry and plane of symmetry and alternate axis of symmetry .

<h3>Chiral center :</h3>

Have Sp3 hybridized center (4sigma bond ) .

4 distinct group  is attached to the chiral atom. form non -superimposable mirror image .

<h3>What is optical isomerism ?</h3>

Same molecular formula and same structural formula . also have same physical and chemical properties .

They differ in their behavior towards plane polarized light (ppl) .

Fish breathe the dissolved air in water through their gills. Assuming the partial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen in air to be
amid [387]

Answer:

X(O₂) = 0.323

X(N₂) = 0.677

Explanation:

We have the partial pressures of oxygen (O₂) and nitrogen (N₂):

P(O₂) = 0.20 atm

P(N₂) = 0.80 atm

In order to solve the problem, you need the solubilities of each gas in water at 298 K. We can consider 1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/(L atm) for oxygen (O₂) and 6.8 x 10⁻⁴mol/(L atm) for nitrogen (N₂) from the bibliography.

s(O₂) = 1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/(L atm)

s(N₂) = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴mol/(L atm)

So, we calculate the concentration (C) of each gas as the product of its partial pressure (P) and the solubility (s):

C(O₂) = P(O₂) x s(O₂) = 0.20 atm x 1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/(L atm) = 2.6 x 10⁻⁴mol/L

C(N₂) = P(N₂) x s(N₂) = 0.80 atm x 6.8 x 10⁻⁴mol/(L atm) = 5.44 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L

In 1 liter of water, we have the following number of moles (n):

n(O₂) = 2.6 x 10⁻⁴ mol

n(N₂) = 5.44 x 10⁻⁴ mol

Thus, the total number of moles (nt) is calculated as the sum of the number of moles of the gases in the mixture:

nt = n(O₂) + n(N₂) = 2.6 x 10⁻⁴ mol + 5.44 x 10⁻⁴ mol = 8.04 x 10⁻⁴ mol

Finally, the mole fraction of each gas is calculated as the ratio between the number of moles of each gas and the total number of moles:

X(O₂) = n(O₂)/nt = 2.6 x 10⁻⁴ mol/(8.04 x 10⁻⁴ mol) = 0.323

X(N₂) = n(N₂)/nt = 5.44 x 10⁻⁴ mol/(8.04 x 10⁻⁴ mol) = 0.677
