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

Find the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 3x10^-18Hz (Show Work)
aalyn [17]

Answer:

λ   = 1×10²⁶m

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of radiation =  ?

Frequency of radiation = 3×10⁻¹⁸Hz

Solution:

Formula:

c = f × λ

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

3×10⁸ m/s =   3×10⁻¹⁸Hz  × λ

λ  =  3×10⁸ m/s /  3×10⁻¹⁸s⁻¹

λ   = 1×10²⁶m

Which statement correctly describes an atom of the element helium? A. An atom of helium has a full outer energy level and is the
Citrus2011 [14]
The correct description for an atom of helium would be option C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.
