When an unknown amine reacts with an unknown acid chloride, an amide with a molecular mass of 163 g/mol (M = 163 m/z) is formed.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

            As the molecular mass of given amine is 163 g/mol (a odd number) it means that this compound contains a odd number of Nitrogen atoms. We will first apply Rule of Thirteen to get the molecular formula.

Rule of Thirteen:

First divide the parent peak value by 13 as,

                = 163 ÷ 13

                = 12.53

Now, multiply 13 by 12,

                = 13 × 12 (here, 12 specifies number of carbon atoms)

                = 156

Now subtract 156 from 163,

                = 163 - 156

                = 7

Add 7 into 12,

                = 7 + 12

                = 19 (hydrogen atoms)

So, the rough formula we have is,

                                                       C₁₂H₁₉

Now, add one Nitrogen atom to above formula and subtract one Carbon and 2 Hydrogen atoms as these numbers are equal to atomic mass of Nitrogen atom as,

                C₁₂H₁₉   -------N-------->    C₁₁H₁₇N

Also, as shown in ¹³C-NMR there is one peak around 180 ppm and the peak at 1661 cm⁻¹ in IR spectrum is characteristic to carbonyl group hence, we will add one oxygen atom to the chemical formula accordingly. i.e.

                C₁₁H₁₇N   -------O-------->    C₁₀H₁₃NO

Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₃NO

Also,

In NMR the the four peaks around 120 ppm are assigned to a mono substituted benzene ring.

The absence of IR peak above 3200 cm⁻³ also confirms that the amine is tertiary in nature and there is no hydrogen attached to the nitrogen atom.

It can be observed that the peaks in upfield are duplicating. This can be due to the presence of rotamers of said compound.

The most plausible structure for given data is shown below, and the resonance structure along with rotamers are also shown.

Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms
Brums [2.3K]
Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms a covalent bond.<span> Covalent bonding is when atoms share electrons. It is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs. These pairs are called bonding pairs. Examples of compounds that has covalent bonds are CO2, organic compounds, lipids and proteins.</span>

Why do electrons transition between energy levels within the atom, and how do we detect these transitions?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electrons transition between energy levels in an atom due to gain or loss of energy. An electron may gain energy and move from its ground state to one of the accessible excited states. The electron quickly returns to ground state, emitting the energy previously absorbed as a photon of light. The wavelength of light emitted is measured using powerful spectrometers.

Atoms can be excited thermally or by irradiation with light of appropriate frequency.

Calculate the mass of calcium chloride that contains 3.20 x 1024 atoms of chlorine.
frez [133]

Answer:

294.87 gm  CaCl_2

Explanation:

The computation of the  mass of calcium chloride is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

Number of moles of chlorine atom is

= 3.20 × 10^24 ÷ 6.022 × 10^23

= 5.314 moles

As we know that

1 mole CaCl_2 have the 2 moles of chlorine atoms

Now 5.341 mole chloride atoms would be

= 1 ÷ 2 × 5.314

= 2.657 moles

Now

Mass of CaCl_2 = Number of moles × molar mass of  CaCl_2

= 2.657 moles × 110.98 g/mol

= 294.87 gm  CaCl_2
