The first student treats the starting material which is the 3-oxobutanoic acid with sodium methoxide which is followed by methyl iodide and form compound A. Analysis 1HNMR it shows that this is not the desired material.
Compound A has same 2-methyl-3- oxobutanoate acid as molecular formula.
Magnesium salt is the type of substance
Answer:
random internal motion of atoms and molecule
Explanation:
The primary cause of diffusion is the random internal motion of atoms and molecules.
Randomness of atoms and molecules results in diffusion.
- Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to that of lower concentration.
- Substances often tend to spread out over the concentration gradient.
- Therefore, they have this propensity to be randomized.
