Answer:

Alkaloids

Explanation:

Alkaloids are organic compounds that are rich in nitrogen which are commonly found in plants though some may be prepared artificially.

Alkaloids helps in protecting plants against pathogens and animals. However they could also be useful in human and veterinary medicine. They have various pharmacological effects. Example of alkaloids include:

Morphine:They can be used to cure and relief pain

Quinine:fight malaria infection

Chelerythrine: fight bacteria .

All these are found in various plants.

Answer: Alkaloids

A class of substances known as alkaloids are used for their medicinal properties.

Explanation:

Alkaloids are small but complex organic substances with at least one nitrogen atom in its ring structure. Hence, they have strong basic properties, and are produced in naturally by some plants.

Examples of alkaloids and their medicinal properties are as follows:

- caffeine, used in certain drug and drinks to stimulate the nervous system

- morphine, used to reduce pain and induce sleep in humans.

- cocaine, nicotine etc

Which 2 resonance forms destablize the carbocation intermediate if bezonitrile undergoes chlronation at the ortho or para positi
Anna11 [10]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The electrophilic substitution of arenes yields a cation intermediate. The positive charge of the cation is delocalized over the entire ring.

The -CN group directs incoming electrophiles to the ortho/para position. The resonance structures for the chlorination of benzonitrile are shown in the question.

Recall that -CN is an electron withdrawing group. The resonance forms that destablize the carbocation intermediate are those in which the -CN group is directly attached to the carbon atom bearing the positive charge as in structures A and B.

LIMITING REACTANT!! Please help I’m very confused.
alexira [117]

Answer:

We'll have 1 mol Al2O3 and 3 moles H2

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Numer of moles of aluminium = 2 moles

Number of moles of H2O = 6 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

2Al + 3H2O → Al2O3 + 3H2

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles Al we need 3 moles H2O to produce 1 mol Al2O3 and 3 moles H2

Aluminium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (2 moles).

H2O is in excess. There will react 3/2 * 2 = 3 moles

There will remain 6 - 3 = 3 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles products

For 2 moles Al we need 3 moles H2O to produce 1 mol Al2O3 and 3 moles H2

For 2 moles Al we'll have 2/1 = 1 mol Al2O3

For 2 moles Al We'll have 3/2 * 2 = 3 moles H2

We'll have 1 mol Al2O3 and 3 moles H2

In the reaction, A → Products, the rate constant is 3.6 × 10−4 s−1. If the initial concentration of A is 0.548 M, what will be t
Arada [10]

Answer:

        \large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.529M}}

Explanation:

Since the <em>rate constant</em> has units of <em>s⁻¹</em>, you can tell that the order of the reaction is 1.

Hence, the rate law is:

       r=d[A]/dt=-k[A]

Solving that differential equation yields to the well known equation for the rates of a first order chemical reaction:

      [A]=[A]_0e^{-kt}

You know [A]₀, k, and t, thus you can calculate [A].

       [A]=0.548M\times e^{-3.6\cdot 10^{-4}/s\times99.2s}

       [A]=0.529M
