A Grignard reagent and a ketone are reacted in ether solution and, followed by an acid workup, form a tertiary alcohol. Recall t

hat Grignard reactions must be scrupulously dry in order to work effectively. A common method of drying glassware is to rinse with acetone prior to use.
1. Why is rinsing with acetone not suitable for the reaction stated in the question.
a) Magnesium does not dissolve in acetone.
b) Water dissolves in acetone. Adding acetone will add water to the reaction flask.
c) Magnesium dissolves in acetone. Adding acetone will remove a vital reactant from the flask.
d) Acetone is a ketone. Grignard reagents will react with acetone to make an unwanted byproduct.

Answer:

                     Option-D (Acetone is a ketone. Grignard reagents will react with acetone to make an unwanted byproduct.) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

                    Grignard reagents are formed by reacting alkyl halides in the presence of ether and dry atmosphere at controlled conditions. The rinsing of glassware is not suitable to be done with Acetone. This is because of the reactivity of Grignard reagents towards the carbonyl compounds.

                    In the scheme below it is assumed that a grignard reagent (ethyl magnesium bromide) was reacted with pentan-2-one to synthesise a tertiary alcohol (3-methylhexan-3-ol). But when the glassware is rinsed with acetone, some acetone left in glassware (like Round bottom flask) will react with the grignard reagent and will produce corresponding tertiary alcohol (2-methylbutan-2-ol in this assumption).

Opinions are differ from facts as that we cannot change the facts but opinions can be changed as in first example it is given anthracite is better than bituminous coal may be there is another coal which is more better than anthracite. So here opinion is changed.

<h3>What is Coal ?</h3>

It is a black or brownish black sedimentary rock. It contains Sulphur, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon etc. It is always preferred as fuel. Coal was formed millions years ago when plant decay in the soil. It is obtained from dead vegetation. It is obtained from dead plants matter decay into peat and then it is converted into the coal by the process of heat.

<h3>What is Solar System ?</h3>

Solar System is made up of all the planets that revolve around our Sun. Solar System contains eight planets. These planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Opinions are differ from facts as that we cannot change the facts but opinions can be changed as in first example it is given anthracite is better than bituminous coal may be there is another coal which is more better than anthracite. So here opinion is changed.

Determine the number of molecules in a 100. gram sample of CCl4
enyata [817]
100. g CCl4* (1 mol CCl4/ 153.8 g CCl4)* (6.02*10^23 CCl4 molecules/ 1 mol CCl4)= 3.91*10^23 CCl4 molecules.
(Note that the units cancel out so you get the answer)
