Given the amount of camphor (200mg) we are using in this experiment, please determine how many mg of sodium borohydride to use i

n this reaction. We would like you to use 5.2 molar equivalents of this reagent. This means 5.2 times the mmol of camphor we are using. As an example: for 110.0 mg of camphor,142 mg of NaBH4 would be used (see if you can confirm this result). For complete credit, your work needs to be clearly drawn out!

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Camphor may be reduced as readily in the presence of sodium borohydride(NaHB4). The resulting compound which is stereoselective requires 1 mole of sodium borohydride (NaHB4) to reduce 1 mole of camphor in this reaction. The reaction is shown below.

Through the reduction process of camphor, the reducing agent can reach the carbonyl face with a one-carbon linkage. The product stereoisomer is known as borneol.

If the molecular weight of camphor = 152.24 g/mol

and it mass = 200 mg

The its no of moles = 200 mg/ 152.24 g/mol

= 1.3137 mmol

Now the amount of the required mmol for NaBH4 to be consumed in the reaction = 5.2 × 1.3137 mmol

= 6.831 mmol

since the molar mass of NaBH4 = 37.83 g/mol

Then, using the same formula:

No of moles = mass/molar mass

mass = No of moles × molar mass

mass = 6.831 mmol × 37.83 g/mol

mass of NaBH4 used = 258.42 mg

Which half reaction can occur at the anode in a voltaic cell
luda_lava [24]

Oxidation is the half reaction that can occur at the anode in a voltaic cell.

Explanation:

In electrodes which is metal strip in voltaic cell the reactions occurs. The two electrodes placed one in each half-cell. The reduction reaction occurs at cathode and oxidation occurs at anode.

A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction. Half-reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions.

In an oxidation half reaction, an atom loses electron(s). When an element is oxidized it loses a specific number of electrons.

A sample of hydrogen gas, has a volume of 8.56 L at a temperature 0oC and pressure of 1.5 atm. Calculate the number of moles of
erica [24]
P = 1.5atm ≈ 1519.88hPa
V = 8.56L
R = 83.1 [hPa*L] / [mol*K]
T = 0°C =273K

pV = nRT   |:RT

n = pV / RT

n = [1519.88hPa*8.56L] / [83.1 [hPa*L] / <span>[mol*K] * 273K]
n </span>≈ <u>0.57mol</u><span><u> </u></span>

We can block light by placing obstacles in its path, but it’s much more difficult to block sound. Why?
vladimir2022 [97]
Sound waves can move through various mediums. Similar to the way we can hear a car horn from outside of a house, the sound waves will, however dampened, still pass through mediums, in this case being the wall of a house.
