Here we have to draw the mechanism of the reduction reaction between benzaldehyde and sodium borodeuteride to form the corresponding alcohol.
The reducing agent sodium borodeuteride can reduce the aldehydes to its corresponding alcohol. The reaction mechanism is shown in the attached image.
The reaction mechanism can be explained as-
The sodium borodeuteride is highly ionic in nature thus it remains as Na⁺ and BD₄⁻ The deuterium atom of BD₄⁻ attack the carbonyl carbon atom and substitute one of its deuterium as shown in the figure.
One molecule of sodium borodeuteride can reduce four molecules of benzaldehyde. The polar solvent like alcohol donates the proton as shown in the mechanism.
The converted alcohol contains the deuterium atom at the -C center. Thus benzaldehyde is converted to deuteroted benzyl alcohol.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Conductivity of a solution refers to its ability to conduct electricity. It is a measure of how much the solution can conduct electricity.
Looking at the reaction; Ba(OH)2(aq) + H2SO4(aq) ---------->BaSO4(s) + 2H2O(l)
We can see that the concentration of ions in solution decreases from left to right. As the concentration of ions decreases, the conductivity of the solution decreases accordingly since conductivity of solution depends on the concentration of ions in solution.
Also, the solution appears cloudy as the reaction progresses due to the formation of BaSO4(s).
Answer:
appx. 1.07 moles
Explanation:
175g of molecule Ca(NO3)2
To find the # of moles, use stoichoimetry.
1. We need the molar mass of Ca(NO3)2.
Ca mass: 40.08 g
NO3 mass: N + 3(O) --> 14.01 + 3(16.00) --> 62.01
Molar mass = Ca + 2(NO3) --> 40.08 + 2(62.01) --> 164.1 g
2. write out the calculation
175g Ca(NO3)2 * (1 mole Ca(NO3)2)/(molar mass of Ca(NO3)2)
175 g Ca(NO3)2 * (1 mole Ca(NO3)2)/(164.1 g Ca(NO3)2)
The g units cancel out and we're left with moles.
Simply perform the calculation now: 175*1/164.1 ≅1.07 moles
