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).

0.556 g of a solid white acid are dissolved in water and completely neutralized by the addition of 52.38 mL of 0.396 M NaOH. Cal
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

M_{acid}=26.804g/mol

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that the used NaOH equals in moles the acid (monoprotic) as shown below, during the titration:

n_{acid}=n_{NaOH}

By knowing the volume and the concentration of the NaOH, one obtains:

n_{acid}=0.05238L*0.396\frac{mol}{L}=0.0207mol

Thus, the molar mass of the acid is computed based on the previously computed moles and the given mass as follows:

M_{acid}=\frac{m_{acid}}{n_{acid}}=\frac{0.556g}{0.0207mol}=26.804g/mol

Best regards.

Which of the following reactions should have the larger emf under standard conditions? Why?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Cu(NO3)2(aq)+Pb(s) ⇌ Pb(NO3)2(aq)+Cu(s)

Explanation:

If we look at the both reactions closely, we will quickly discover that the reaction CuSO4(aq)+Pb(s) ⇌ PbSO4(s)+Cu(s) involves PbSO4.

The compound PbSO4 is insoluble in water and sinks to the bottom of the reaction vessel. When this occurs, the concentration of Pb^2+ becomes low. This will bring about a low voltage in the cell.

On the other hand, Pb(NO3)2 is soluble in water hence the cell voltage in this case is higher than the former.
