Answer: (2) $KOH$

Explanation: When an acid reacts with the base then it undergoes neutralization to form a salt and water.

An acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydrogen ion and have pH less than 7.

$HX\rightarrow H^++X^-$

A base is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion and has pH more than 7.

$MOH\rightarrow M^++OH^-$

Thus $KOH$ being a base can be a reactant in neutralization reaction.

$NaCl$ being a salt can be a product in a neutralization reaction.

How many grams of glucose are needed to form 150g of ethanol?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

1 mole glucose gives 2 moles of ethanol

moles of glucose in 2.4 kg = 2400 / 180.18 = 13.320 moles

so moles of ethanol produced = 2* 13.32 = 26.64 moles

weight of ethanol 26.64 * 46.07

=1227.30 gm or 1.23 Kg

Compound A is an alkene that was treated with ozone to yield only (CH3CH2CH2)2C=O. Draw the major product that is expected when

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane

Explanation:

In this case, we have to know first the alkene that will react with the peroxyacid. So:

What do we know about the unknown alkene?

We know the product of the ozonolysis reaction (see figure 1). This reaction is an oxidative rupture reaction. Therefore, the double bond will be broken and we have to replace the carbons on each side of the double bond by oxygens. If $(CH_3CH_2CH_2)_2C=O$ is the only product we will have a symmetric molecule in this case 4,5-dipropyloct-4-ene.

What is the product with the peroxyacid?

This compound in the presence of alkenes will produce peroxides. Therefore we have to put a peroxide group in the carbons where the double bond was placed. So, we will have as product 2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane. (see figure 2)
