Answer:

The product is cyclohexanol

Explanation:

Firstly,

A ketone undergo a borohydride reduction reaction to form an alcohol as below,

R-CO-R'  ⇒ R-CO(OH)-R'

  1. IR Spectrum confirms that alcohol group is existed with the peak at 3400 cm⁻¹
  2. From 1H-NMR, the product has 10 hydrogen atoms, the MS suggest that the formula is C₅H₁₀O (M = 86). With this formula, the alcohol is monosaturated. Since, the substance already underwent reduction reaction, the only way to suggest a monosaturated compound is a cyclic alcohol. So the compound is cyclopentanol.
  3. Check with other spectroscopic properties,
  • 3 signals of 13C NMR confirms the structure is symmetrical, δ 24.2, (-<u>C</u>H₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), δ 35.5 (-CH₂-<u>C</u>H₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), δ 73.3 (-CH₂-CH₂-<u>C</u>H(CH₂-)-OH).
  • 1H NMR confirms,

        1.56 δ (4H, triplet) - (-C<u>H</u>₂-CH₂-CH-OH) ; triplet as coupling with 2 H,

        1.78 δ (4H, multiplet)  - (-CH₂-C<u>H</u>₂-CH-OH); multiplet as coupling with 2H of CH₂, 1 H of CH

         3.24 δ (1H, quintet); - (-CH₂-CH₂-C<u>H</u>(CH₂-)-OH), coupling with4 H of 2 group of CH₂

         3.58 δ (1H, singlet); - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-O<u>H</u>), hydrogen of alcohol group, not tend to coupling with other hydrogen

notsponge [240]
 False that  atom  is the smallest  identifiable  unit  of  a compound.

The   smallest   identifiable  unit  of   a compound  is  the    Element.  Element  is the one which  make up the  compound  and element  is made up by atoms.  Example  of element  is  oxygen  and  hydrogen  which  make  up water (H2O) which is  a compound.

How does a battery become depleted or out of charge? * -the number of protons and electrons at both terminals are not equal -the
kompoz [17]

Answer:

the number of protons and neutrons at both terminals are equal

Explanation:

When the number of positive charge and negative charge are both equally the terminal, it becomes neutral and out of charge, because first it undergo enough chemical reaction and there is no remaining tendency for positive and negative charges to get separated. When this tendency dies, the battery also will run out of charge.
