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).

The magnitude of an earthquake, measured on the Richter Scale, is M log1o T where / is the amplitude registered on a seismograph
just olya [345]

<u>Answer:</u> The magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times I_o is 7.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Richter scale is defined as the scale which expresses the magnitude of earthquake on the basis of the seismograph oscillations.

The equation used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake on Richter scale is:

M=log_{10}\frac{I}{I_o}

where

I = amplitude registered on seismograph 100 km away from seismic center = 10,000,000I_o

I_o = small amplitude

Putting values in above equation, we get:

M=\log_{10}(\frac{10000000I_o}{I_o})\\\\M=7

Hence, the magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times I_o is 7.
