No, it is impossible.

Chemical reactions does not change or turn elements into different elements.

Changing an element implies to modify its atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus).

Chemical reactions do not modifiy the nuclei of the elements involved.

Chemical reactions imply the formation or rupture of bonds between elements. Bonds are union of elements at the level of electrons.So, formation or rupture of bonds involve only a different combination of the atoms, never modifications of the atoms at the level of nuclei or parts of nuclei.

White phosphorus is composed of tetrahedral molecules of P4 in which every P atom is connected to three other P atoms. In the Le
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.

Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.

As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.

From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.

Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Draw the major organic substitution product(s) for (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane reacting with the given nucleophile. Indicate
Andrew [12]

Answer:

(2R,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

and

(2S,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

Explanation:

For this case, we will have  CH_3CH_2O^- as nucleophile. Also, this compound is also in excess. So, we will have as solvent CH_3CH_2OH a protic solvent. Therefore the Sn1 reaction would be favored.

The first step would be the carbocation formation followed by the attack of the nucleophile. In this case both isomers would be produced: R and S (see figure).

How do you get hyphen notations?
laiz [17]

Answer:

In hyphen notation, the mass number is written after the name of the element. For example, in isotopic notation, the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of twelve would be represented as 12C . In hyphen notation, it would be written as carbon-12.

Pickles are cucumbers preserved in a brine solution containing dill, alum, and salt. Cucumbers shrink to a fraction of their nor
Anna [14]

Answer:

hypertonic solution

Explanation:

Hypertonic solution -

It is the solution, with more amount of solute than the solvent , is known as hypertonic solution.

Now, is some substance is immersed in such solution , the substance gets shrinked , because , the solvent from the substance moves out of it and moves to the hypertonic solution.

Hence, the pickles gets shrinked up , as they put in a hypertonic solution.

A solution was found to have a 15.6 % transmittance at 500 nm, its wavelength of maximum absorption, using a cell with a path le
Gnesinka [82]

For the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm  is mathematically given as

A’ = 0.16138

<h3>What is the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm?</h3>

Absorbance (A) 2 – log (%T) = 2 – log (15.6) = 0.8069

Generally, the equation for the Beer’s law is mathematically given as

A = ε*c*l

0.8069 = ε*c*(5.00 )

ε*c = 0.16138 cm-1

then for when ε*c is constant

l’ = 1.00

A’ = (0.16138 cm-1)*(1.00 cm)

A’ = 0.16138

In conclusion, the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm is

A’ = 0.16138
