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).

What is the ph of a solution labeled .30 trimethylamine k for trimethylamine is 7.42 x 10^4
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:the pH is 12

Explanation:

First We need to understand the structure of trimethylamine

Due to the grades of the bond in the nitrogen with a hybridization sp3 is 108° approximately, then is generated a dipole magnetic at the upper side of the nitrogen, this dipole magnetic going to attract a hydrogen molecule of the water making the water more alkaline

C3H9N+ H2O --> C3H9NH + OH-

k=\frac{[C3H9NH]*[OH-]}{[C3H9N]}

Then:

The concentration of the trimethylamine is 0.3 and the concentration of the ion C3H9NH is equal to the OH- relying on the stoichiometric equation. We could find the concentration of the OH- ion with the square root of the multiplication between k and the concentration of trimethylamine

[OH-]=\sqrt{ 0.3*7.42x10^{-4}}

[OH-]=0.01

pH=14-(-log[OH-])

pH=12

C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.

Hope it helps :)

Draw and use algebra tiles to solve the equation. 2x + 3 = 5 x =
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

1 is the correct answer:)

Subtract 

3

33

 from both sides of the equation

2+3=5

Simplify

Subtract 

5

5x5x

 from both sides of the equation

Simplify

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

Simplify

than you will have 1.
