Answer:

Methane gas is formed in this reaction. After adding aqueous acid, ethyl acetoacetate is reformed through protonation of it.

Explanation:    

CH_{3}MgBr acts as base towards ethyl acetoacetate. Because ethyl acetoacetate contains active methylene group.

Hence  CH_{3}MgBr abstracts a proton from methylene group and being converted to methane gas.

After addition of aqueous acid, conjugate base of ethyl acetoacetate gets protonated and ethyl acetoacetate is reproduced.

When NH3(g) reacts with O2(g), the products of the combustion are NO(g) and H2O(g). What volume of O2(g) is required to react wi
arlik [135]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of oxygen gas required is 3.75 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

STP conditions:

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

We are given:

Volume of ammonia reacted = 3.00 mL = 0.003 L    (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

The chemical equation for the reaction of ammonia with oxygen follows:

4NH_3(g)+5O_2\rightarrow 4NO(g)+6H_2O(g)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

(4 × 22.4) L of ammonia reacts with (5 × 22.4) L of oxygen gas

So, 0.003 L of ammonia will react with = \frac{(5\times 22.4)}{(4\times 22.4)}\times 0.003=0.00375L=3.75mL of oxygen gas

Hence, the volume of oxygen gas required is 3.75 mL

The largest risks while designing a model to withstand a village include that the model does not mitigate the effects of the tsunami or only mitigates the effects partially, which would cause damages to the homes.

Designing a model to withstand the effect of any natural phenomenon such as an earthquake, fire or tsunami is not an easy task and will require the following cycle:

  • Designing the model.
  • Testing the model.
  • Making changes or designing a new model.

In the case of a model for tsunamis, it is likely the following problems occur:

  • The model does not protect the houses from tsunamis.
  • The model does not protect the houses completely.

This would lead to negative effects such as:

  • Damages in the houses.
  • Dead or injured people.
  • Destruction of infrastrcture.

Note: This question is incomplete because the context is missing; here is the missing part.
