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.

In the reaction fecl2 + 2naoh fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl, if 6 moles of fecl2 are added to 6 moles of naoh, how many moles of fecl2 woul
pychu [463]
The balanced chemical reaction would be 

<span>fecl2 + 2naoh =  fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl

Initial amounts of the reactants are given, so, we need to determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and use this amount to determine what is asked. However, what is being asked is how many of the FeCl2 is used in the reaction, showing that it is NaOH that is the limiting reactants. Thus, we just use the initial amount of NaOH and relate the substances by the chemical reaction as follows:

6 mol NaOH ( 1 mol FeCl2 / 2 mol NaOH ) = 3 mol FeCl2

Therefore, 3 moles of FeCl2 is used up and 3 moles of FeCl2 is also left after the reaction.</span>

The diameter of a hydrogen atom is 106 pm. Find the length in kilometers of a row of 4.34 x 1023 hydrogen atoms?
valina [46]

The length in kilometers of a row of 4.34 x 1023 hydrogen atoms is 4.34 x 10¹⁴ km.

<h3>Length of the entire hydrogen atoms</h3>

The length of the entire hydrogen atom is calculated as follows;

Length of the row = number x diameter of one

Length of the row = 4.34 x 10²³ x 10⁶ x 10⁻¹²

Length of the row = 4.34 x 10¹⁷ m

Length of the row = 4.34 x 10¹⁴ km

Thus, the length in kilometers of a row of 4.34 x 1023 hydrogen atoms is 4.34 x 10¹⁴ km.
