Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the formation of an acetal from acidic methanol and 4-methylpentan-2-one in the fewest steps

. When given the choice, draw the arrows that lead to the resonance structures with full octets around each atom other than hydrogen. Do not show any inorganic byproducts or counterions. Reagents needed for each step are provided in the boxes.

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

This reaction is known as Ketone hydrolisis in acid medium. This involves the formation of an hemi cetal, and then, the acetal. This is often used to convert ketones or aldehydes in ethers.

The first step involves the reaction with the acid. The carbonile reacts with the acid and forms an alcohol there. The next step is the reaction of the alcohol, in this case, the methanol to form the hemi cetal. Then in the third step, we repeat the first step, using acid to turn the OH group into a great leaving group such water. Then the water leaves the molecule, leaving the space wide open in the next step for methanol, and the acetal is formed.

See picture for the curved arrow mechanism

You used a calorimeter in the heat transfer lab. Explain how the calorimeter works, and how to calculate the heat given off or a
Butoxors [25]
A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT 
To find the heat released.

What is the pH of .0003 M of NaOH
s344n2d4d5 [400]

We are given that the concentration of NaOH is 0.0003 M and are asked to calculate the pH

We know that NaOH dissociates by the following reaction:

NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻

Which means that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻ ion, which is what we care about since the pH is affected only by the concentration of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions

Now that we know that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻, 0.0003M NaOH will produce 0.0003M OH⁻

Concentration of OH⁻ (also written as [OH⁻]) = 3 * 10⁻⁴

<u>pOH of the solution:</u>

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(3 * 10⁻⁴)

pOH = -0.477 + 4

pOH = 3.523

<u>pH of the solution:</u>

We know that the sum of pH and pOH of a solution is 14

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 3.523 = 14                              [subtracting 3.523 from both sides]

pH = 10.477

Arsenate (AsO43-) is structurally and chemically similar to inorganic phosphate (PO43-), and many enzymes that act on phosphate
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

A) The effect on the net reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehyde is that

The 1-arsen0, 3-phosphoglycerate will decompose without enzymes hence no ATP will be formed in the reaction ( phosphoglycerate Kinase )

B) There will be  no conversion of ADP to ATP from the conversion of glucose to pyruvate hence No balanced overall equation can be derived

C ) Arsenate is very toxic to most organisms and it is used mostly regarded  as poisons during the formation of glycolysis, it forms  1-arsen0, 3-phosphoglycerate which  hinders the formation of ATP because it is unstable and will hydrolyze quickly, this will also lead to the reduction in oxygen in cells thereby leading to the death of cells
