Treatment of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol with bromine in cold acetic acid gives the compound C18H29BrO in quantitative yield. The

infrared spectrum of this compound contains absorptions at 1630 and 1655 cm^-1. Its 1H NMR spectrum shows only three peaks (all singlets), at δ 1.2, 1.3, and 6.9, in the ratio 9:18:2. What is a reasonable structure for the compound?

Answer:

2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone

Explanation:

1. Information from the formulas

C₁₈H₃₀O ⟶ C₁₈H₂₉BrO

A Br has replaced an H.

2. Information from the reaction

These look like the conditions for an electrophilic aromatic substitution.

3. Possible mechanism (Fig. 1)

The product must be highly symmetrical, because there are so few NMR signals.

(i) The bromonium ion attacks at the para position, forming a resonance-stabilized carbocation intermediate.

(ii) A bromide ion attacks the H of the hydroxyl group to form 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone.

4. Confirmatory evidence (Fig. 2)

(a) Infrared  

1630 cm⁻¹:  C=O stretch

1655 cm⁻¹ : C=C stretch

(b)NMR

1.2 (9h, s):    the 4-tert-butyl group

1.3 (18H, s): the 2- and 6- tert- butyl groups

6.9 (2H, s):    the alkene H atoms

The ratio is 9:18:2.

What mass of copper is deposited when a current of 10.0a is passed through a solution of copper(ii) nitrate for 30.6 seconds?
asambeis [7]
Data Given:

Time = t = 30.6 s

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 63.54/2 = 31.77 g

Amount Deposited = W = ?

Solution:
             According to Faraday's Law,

                                          W  =  I t e / F

Putting Values,
 
                            W  =  (10 A × 30.6 s × 31.77 g) ÷ 96500

                            W  =  0.100 g

Result:
           0.100 g of Cu
²⁺ is deposited.

Consider a situation in which the enzyme is operating at optimum temperature and pH, and has been saturated with substrate. What
tekilochka [14]

Answer:Increase the enzyme concentration

Explanation:

If the enzyme is saturated, it simply means that all the enzyme molecules present has been bound to substrates.

Of course, there will still be more substrates left in the system since the enzyme is saturated. The reaction rate can now be increased by increasing the enzyme concentration so that more enzyme molecules can be bound to substrates.
