Answer:

The hydrogen can be gotten from the added Acid or water during "workup".

Explanation:

Basically we can say that the reaction describe in this question is a Reduction reaction because of the chemical compound called sodium borohydride. In the reaction described above we can see that there is a Reduction of ketone to alcohol by the compound; sodium borohydride.

For the reduction Reaction to occur the C-O bond must break so as to enable the formation of O-H bond and C-H bond.

So, "the reaction mixture is treated with water and H2SO4 to produce the desired alcohol", thus, the oxygen will definitely pick up the hydrogen from H2SO4 or H2O.

.400 moles of CO2 gas are confined in a 5.00-liter container at 25 °C. Calculate the pressure exerted in atmospheres and mm Hg.
solong [7]

The pressure exerted by 0.400 moles of carbon dioxide in a 5.00 Liter container at 25 °C would be 1.9563 atm or  1486.788 mm Hg.

<h3>The ideal gas law</h3>

According to the ideal gas law, the product of the pressure and volume of a gas is a constant.

This can be mathematically expressed as:

pv = nRT

Where:

p = pressure of the gas

v = volume

n = number of moles

R = Rydberg constant (0.08206 L•atm•mol-1K)

T = temperature.

In this case:

p is what we are looking for.

v = 5.00 L

n = 0.400 moles

T = 25 + 273

 = 298 K

Now, let's make p the subject of the formula of the equation.

p = nRT/v

  = 0.400 x 0.08206 x 298/5

  = 1.9563 atm

Recall that: 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Thus:

1.9563 atm = 1.9563 x 760 mm Hg

                   = 1486.788 mm Hg

In other words, the pressure exerted by the gas in atm is 1.9563 atm and in mm HG is 1486.788 mm Hg.

2. Work is done only when an object.<br> in the<br> of the force<br> that is being applied.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Whenever a force is applied to an object, causing the object to move, work is done by the force. ... Work can be either positive or negative: if the force has a component in the same direction as the displacement of the object, the force is doing positive work

Which combination of reagents used in the indicated order with benzene will give m-nitropropylbenzene? a. 1) CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3,
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1) HNO3/H2SO4, 2) CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3

Explanation:

Benzene is a stable aromatic compound hence it undergoes substitution rather than addition reaction.

When benzene undergoes substitution reaction, the substituent introduced into the ring determines the position of the incoming electrophile.

If I want to synthesize m-nitropropylbenzene, I will first carry out the nitration of benzene using HNO3/H2SO4 since the -nitro group is a meta director. This is now followed by Friedel Craft's alkykation using CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3.

Which element of the third period had the highest first ionization energy?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

C.) Argon

Explanation:

This is because ionisation energy increases as we move from left to right in a period. Argon presents in the right most column and Argon is a novel gas and has 8 electrons in outermost orbital. So, it is highly stable. I hope I helped! ^-^

What is the density (g/mL) of an object that has a mass of 0.03 kg and occupies a volume of 25 mL?
tatyana61 [14]
First convert the kg to g ----- 0.03kg = 30g
Then divide the mass by the volume ----- 30g ÷ 25mL = 1.2
The density is 1.2g/mL<span />
