A variation of the acetamidomalonate synthesis can be used to synthesize serine. The process involves the following steps: Ethox

ide ion deprotonates diethyl acetamidomalonate, forming enolate anion 1; Enolate anion 1 makes a nucleophilic attack on formaldehyde, forming tetrahedral intermediate 2; Protonation of the oxyanion forms alcohol 3; Acid hydrolysis yields dicarboxyamino alcohol 4; Decarboxylation leads to the final amino acid. Write out the mechanism on a separate sheet of paper, and then draw the structure of dicarboxyamino alcohol 4.

Answer:

See detailed mechanism in the image attached

Explanation:

The mechanism shown in detail below is the synthesis of serine in steps.

The first step is the attack of the ethoxide ion base on the diethyl acetamidomalonate substrate giving the enolate and formaldehyde.

The second step is the protonation of the oxyanion from (1) above to form an alcohol as shown.

Acid hydrolysis of the alcohol formed in (3) above yields a tetrahedral intermediate, a dicarboxyamino alcohol.

Decarboxylation of this dicarboxyamino alcohol yields serine, the final product as shown in the image attached.

Consider the set of isoelectronic atoms and ions a2–, b–, c, d+, and e2+. which arrangement of relative radii is correct?
faust18 [17]
The term isoelectronic atoms means that if the given atoms are neutral, they would have the same number of electrons, which is relative to their sizes. Ions with positive charges are called cations, losing electrons. On the other hand, ions with negative charges are called anions, gaining electrons. The more electrons that the atoms have, the bigger it is in size. Hence, the arrangement of the radii of the atoms would have to be,

      e²⁺, d⁺, c , b⁻, a⁻

The arrangement is from smallest to largest.

If 22.5L of nitrogen at 748 mm Hg are compressed to 725 mm Hg at constant temperature. What is the new volume?2.A gas with a vol
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

a)23.2 L

b)68.3kPa

c)7.5 atm

d)60.5L

e)1.67 atm

Explanation:

From Boyle's law:

P1V1=P2V2

P1= 748mmHg

P2=725mmHg

V1= 22.5L

V2??

V2= P1V1/P2= 748×22.5/725= 23.2 L

b)

V1=4.0L

P1= 205×10^3Pa

V2= 12.0L

P2=???

P2= P1V1/V2= 205×10^3×4/12

P2= 68.3×10^3 Pa or 68.3kPa

c)

P1= 1 atm

V1= 196.0L

P2= ??

V2= 26.0L

P2= P1V1/V2=1×196.0/26.0

P2= 7.5 atm

d)

V1= 40.0L

P1= 12.7×10^3Pa

V2=???

P2= 8.4×103Pa

V2= P1V1/P2= 12.7×10^3×40.0/8.4×103

V2=60.5L

e)

V1= 100mL

P1= 1atm

V2= 60mL

P2=???

P2= P1V1/V2= 1×100/60

P2= 1.67 atm

  • An ionic compound will not conduct electricity as a solid.
  • It will conduct electricity when melted.
  • Some ionic compounds are soluble. Their solutions in water also conduct electricity.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

A substance should contain charged particles that are free to move around in order to conduct electricity.

Ionic compounds contain an ocean of ions. They carry either positive or negative charges. Attractions between them hold them in a rigid lattice under the solid state. Those ions are unable to move. The ionic compound can't conduct electricity.

Melting the ionic compound will break the lattice. Those ions are now free to move to conduct electricity. Dissolving the compound in water will also free the ions. As a result, those solutions will also conduct electricity.

Conductivity under different states distinguishes between ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and metals.

  • Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted but not as a solid.
  • Molecular compounds have no charged particles. They do not conduct electricity even when melted.
  • Valence electrons in metals are free to move both when the metal is a solid and when it is melted. Metals conduct electricity under both solid and liquid states.
