You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.

I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.

In K2Cr2O7:

- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.

- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.

That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.

In Cr2O3:

- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6

- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.

So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.

Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.

Draw the alkyl bromide(s) you would use in a malonic ester synthesis of ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate
Rudik [331]

The structure of the alkyl bromides used in a malonic ester synthesis of ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate are as drawn in the attached image.

<h3>Ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate by Malonic ester synthesis.</h3>

The malonic ester synthesis is a chemical reaction characterized by the alkylation of diethyl malonate or a similar ester of malonic acid at the carbon alpha (directly adjacent) to both carbonyl groups, and subsequently converted to a substituted acetic acid.

Hence, it follows from the structure of Ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate that the alkyl bromides used are Ethyl bromide and methyl bromide.

Draw the structure(s) of all of the possible monochloro derivatives of 2,4-dimethylpentane, c7h15cl.
pishuonlain [190]

The monochloroderivatives will be obtained by substituting chemically non equivalent hydrogen with chlorine atom, one by one

So the possible monochloro derivatives of 2,4-dimethylpentane (figure 1) are shown in figure (2)
