What class of organic product results when 1-heptyne is treated with a mixture of mercuric acetate in aqueous sulfuric acid, and

then HOCH2CH2OH with catalytic sulfuric acid

Chemistry

Answer:

2-methyl-2-pentyl-1,3-dioxolane

Explanation:

In this case, we have two reactions:

First reaction:

1-heptyne + mercuric acetate -------> Compound A

Second reaction:

Compound A + HOCH2CH2OH -------> Compound C

<u>First reaction</u>

In the first reaction, we have as a main functional group a triple bond. We have to remember that mercuric acetate in sulfuric acid will produce a ketone. The carbonyl group (C=O) would be placed in the most substituted carbon of the triplet bond (in this case, carbon 2). With this in mind, we will have as a product: heptan-2-one. (See figure 1).

<u>Second reaction</u>

<u />

In this reaction, we have as reagents:

-) Heptan-2-one

-) Ethylene-glycol HOCH_2CH_2OH

-) Sulfuric acid H_2SO_4

When we put ethylene-glycol with a ketone or an aldehyde we will form a cyclic acetal. In this case, this structure would be formed on carbon 2 forming 2-methyl-2-pentyl-1,3-dioxolane. (See figure 2).

I hope it helps!

Methane can be decomposed into two simpler substances: hydrogen and carbon. Therefore, methane 1. is a gas. 2. cannot be an elem
Reika [66]

Answer: 2. cannot be an element.

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper Cu

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane CH_4

CH_4\rightarrow C+2H_2

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.

Thus methane cannot be an element.

Which of the following would have the highest buffer capacity?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻

Explanation:

Buffer capacity refers to the amount of a strong acid or base required per liter of the buffer to change its pH by one. This amount is directly related to the concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair in the buffer since the buffer pair neutralizes the strong acid or base.

Thus, the highest buffer capacity is found in the solution that has the highest concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair, which is 1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻ .
