Answer:

both drugs will be equally effective

Explanation:

A racemic mixture is a substance that contains a 50/50 mixture of the (+) and (-) enantiomers of an optically active compound.

It is important to note that even if a drug occurs as a racemic mixture, only the biologically active enantiomer will interact with the substrate on which the drug acts. The other enantiomer present is just irrelevant. Similarly, its presence does not affect the biological activity of the active enantiomer.

Hence, both Prilosec and Nexium are both equally effective.

In this experiment we will be using a 0.05 M solution of HCl to determine the concentration of hydroxide (OH-) in a saturated so
gulaghasi [49]

<u>Answer:</u> The moles of hydroxide ions present in the sample is 0.0008 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl.

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is Ca(OH)_2

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=0.05M\\V_1=16mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=?M\\V_2=36.0mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times 0.05\times 16=2\times M_2\times 36\\\\M_2=\frac{1\times 0.05\times 16}{2\times 36}=0.011M

To calculate the moles of hydroxide ions, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Molarity of solution = 0.011 M

Volume of solution = 36.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.011=\frac{\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2\times 1000}{36}\\\\\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2=\frac{0.011\times 36}{1000}=0.0004mol

1 mole of calcium hydroxide produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of hydroxide ions.

Moles of hydroxide ions = (0.0004 × 2) = 0.0008 moles

Hence, the moles of hydroxide ions present in the sample is 0.0008 moles

The dehydration of the alcohol functional group is a widely used reaction in organic chemistry. The mechanism is generally accep
puteri [66]

Answer:

  1. Elimination
  2. Elimination
  3. Zaitsev
  4. Zaitsev
  5. Carbocation

Explanation:

  • The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
  • The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
  • The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION

Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents  from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism

Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds

What is the concentration if 20 grams of NaOH was dissolved in enough water to make a 250 mL NaOH solution?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: 1 molar NaOH contains 40 grams of NaOH per every liter of water

Explanation:

so 2 M NaOH contains twice that amount, ie. 80 grams per liter. Then, ine 250 ml of weater, there should be 80/4 = 20 grams of solid NaOH dissolved.
