Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is defined as the substance that helps in increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. A catalyst never gets consumed in a chemical reaction.

When a catalyst lowers the activation energy then molecules with much less energy are also able to participate in the chemical reaction. Hence, formation of products occur rapidly and thus rate of reaction increases.

Therefore, we can conclude that the catalyst is unchanged and is separate from the products after a chemical reaction has occurred.

A scientist is investigating the structure of aluminum nitrate, which has the chemical formula Al(NO3)3. Based on the chemical f

bekas [8.4K]

The chemical formula of aluminium nitrate is - Al(NO₃)₃
cation is Al³⁺
anion is NO₃⁻
One Al atom binds to three nitrate groups
the options given are
2. It has three aluminum (Al) atoms
this is incorrect as there's only one Al atom
3. It has one NO3 group.
this is incorrect as there are three nitrate groups
4. It has nine nitrogen (N) atoms
there are only 3 N atoms therefore this too is incorrect
therefore the correct answer is -
It has three NO₃ groups

Draw the structure of the neutral product formed in the reaction of dimethyl malonate and methyl vinyl ketone.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction between dimethyl malonate which is an active methylene group with an (∝, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound) i.e methyl vinyl ketone is known as a Micheal Addition reaction. The reaction mechanism starts with the base attack on the β-carbon to remove the acidic ∝-hydrogens and form a carbanion. The carbanion formed(enolate ion) attacks the methyl vinyl ketone(i.e. a nucleophilic attack at the β-carbon) to give a Micheal addition product, this is followed by the protonation to give the neutral product.
