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.

Convert 8.50 moles Ca to atoms
Wewaii [24]

8.50 moles is equal to 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms of Ca.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to multiply the moles of Ca by the Avogadro's number:

= 6.022×10²³

So the number of atoms:

= 8.5 moles × 6.022×10²³atoms / mol

= 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms

Hence the 8.50 moles is equal to 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms of Ca.

How many particles are in a 151 g sample of Li2O?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

3.052 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

To get the number of particles (nA) in a substance, we multiply the number of moles of the substance by Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10^23)

The mass of Li2O given in this question is as follows: 151grams.

To convert this mass value to moles, we use;

moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Li2O = 6.9(2) + 16

= 13.8 + 16

= 29.8g/mol

Mole = 151/29.8g

mole = 5.07moles

number of particles (nA) of Li2O = 5.07 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.52 × 10^23

= 3.052 × 10^24 particles.

Describe the evidence of changes in organisms in the Cambrian Era that are reflected in the fossil record.​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Morphology and phylogenetics revealed by fossils. Perhaps the strongest evidence to support the Cambrian evolutionary explosion of animal forms is the first clear appearance, in the Early Cambrian, of skeletal fossils representing members of many marine bilaterian animal phyla
