Hello!
In this case, we can divide the problem in two steps:
1. Dilution to 278 mL: here, the initial concentration and volume are 1.20 M and 52.0 mL respectively, and a final volume of 278 mL, it means that the moles remain the same so we can write:
So we solve for C2:
2. Now, since 111 mL of water is added, we compute the final volume, V3:
So, the final concentration of the 139 mL portion is:
Best regards!
Potassium dichromate reacts with sulfuric acid to form chromic acid, H₂CrO₄ which is a very strong oxidizing agent. The secondary alcohol, (<em>R</em>)-2-butanol will be oxidized in the presence of chromic acid, but it can only be as oxidized as far as the ketone, which is the product shown, 2-butanone.
Sodium borohydride is a reducing agent that will reduce a ketone or aldehyde to an alcohol. When sodium borohydride reacts with 2-butanone, it reduces it to 2-butanol. However, the alcohol is no longer chiral as it was in the beginning since the sodium borohydride can add a hydride to either face of the carbonyl, which results in a racemic mixture of alcohols. This explains why the product has the same refractive index and boiling point as (<em /><em>R</em>)-2-butanol, however, the product formed would no longer be optically active.
