We are asked to provide an equation for the transformation of 2-phenylethanoic acid to 2-phenylethanol. This type of a reaction is converting a carboxylic acid to an alcohol, which is classified as a reduction reaction since we are decreasing the number of bonds to oxygen in the molecule. In order to reduce a carbonyl to an alcohol, we need a source of hydride, H⁻. Reducing the carboxylic acid once will convert it to the aldehyde. However, we need to reduce the functional group all the way down to an alcohol, which is another reduction step after aldehyde formation. Therefore, the hydride source of choice is lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH₄.

A reaction scheme is provided to show the reaction of the reduction of carboxylic acid to alcohol. The first step is addition of lithium aluminum hydride which does the reduction, and the second step is a work-up of acid which protonates the alcohol to get the final product.

Answer:

saltation

Explanation:

  • Saltation is the transportation of particles by fluids such as by winds and water.  It takes place when loose matter is removed from the sea bed and gets carried by the fluid back to the surface.
  • Examples include pebbles, sand, and soil. Saltation layers can form during avalanches.

(a) 4.64 x 1024 atoms Bi into grams
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

1610.7 g is the weigh for 4.64×10²⁴ atoms of Bi

Explanation:

Let's do the required conversions:

1 mol of atoms has 6.02×10²³ atoms

Bi → 1 mol of bismuth weighs 208.98 grams

Let's do the rules of three:

6.02×10²³ atoms are the amount of 1 mol of Bi

4.64×10²⁴ atoms are contained in (4.64×10²⁴ . 1) /6.02×10²³ = 7.71 moles

1 mol of Bi weighs 208.98 g

7.71 moles of Bi must weigh (7.71 . 208.98 ) /1 = 1610.7 g
