What's the difference between rocks and minerals?A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by a geological processes. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals where as a rock may also include organic remains and mineraloids.
I hope this helps
The given compound is being synthesized by condensing
Acetone and
Pivaldehyde (Trimethylacetaldehyde).
First Acetone is treated with
Base, the base abstracts the mildly acidic proton present at alpha position to carbonyl group. The resulting specie called
enolate act as a nucleophile and attacks on highly reactive aldehyde which upon
dehydration yields the
Aldol Product. The Reaction is as follow,
Answer:
0.007 M
Explanation:
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Thus,
pH = - log [H⁺]
The expression of the pH of the calculation of weak acid is:-
Where, C is the concentration = ?
Given, pH = 3.45
So, for
,

C = 0.007 M
