Draw the structure of the product of each step in the following three-step synthesis. Show the formal charges, if applicable. As
a start, the benzene ring is drawn for you in each product. Although the first step produces a mixture of isomers, the para isomer is isolated as the sole product of interest and used in the second step. Give only the major product for the second and third steps.
1 answer:
Answer:
Second step: 4-bromo-1-methyl-2-nitrobenzene.
Third step: 1.5-dibromo-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzene.
Explanation:
To solve this exercise I will use the concepts of electrophilic substitution. In these reactions, a functional group is displaced by an electrophile. In the attached image are the two main products.

Answer: The process is diffusion.
Explanation:
a dark liquid will have the highest concentration of dark purple atoms/molecules so it gives a concentrated colour.
when water is added to it, the colourless water molecules fill up the gaps between the purple particles and so their colour fades and becomes lighter and lighter as we add more water. see the image attached where imagine the red particles are water and the blue particles are purple particles. thats why the colour fades.
Answer:
b) +2 and +3.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the molecular formulas:
And:
We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:
Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:
Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3
Best regards.
