Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.

Ketones undergo a reduction when treated with sodium borohydride, NaBH4. The product of the above reaction has the following spe

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The product is cyclohexanol

Explanation:

Firstly,

A ketone undergo a borohydride reduction reaction to form an alcohol as below,

R-CO-R' ⇒ R-CO(OH)-R'

IR Spectrum confirms that alcohol group is existed with the peak at 3400 cm⁻¹
From 1H-NMR, the product has 10 hydrogen atoms, the MS suggest that the formula is C₅H₁₀O (M = 86). With this formula, the alcohol is monosaturated. Since, the substance already underwent reduction reaction, the only way to suggest a monosaturated compound is a cyclic alcohol. So the compound is cyclopentanol.
Check with other spectroscopic properties,

3 signals of 13C NMR confirms the structure is symmetrical, δ 24.2, (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), δ 35.5 (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), δ 73.3 (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH).

1H NMR confirms,

1.56 δ (4H, triplet) - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH-OH) ; triplet as coupling with 2 H,

1.78 δ (4H, multiplet) - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH-OH); multiplet as coupling with 2H of CH₂, 1 H of CH

3.24 δ (1H, quintet); - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), coupling with4 H of 2 group of CH₂

3.58 δ (1H, singlet); - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), hydrogen of alcohol group, not tend to coupling with other hydrogen

determine the frequency and wavelength (in nm) of the light emitted when the e- fell from n=4 and n=2

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ Hz

λ = 4.87×10² nm

Explanation:

In case of hydrogen atom energy associated with nth state is,

En = -13.6/n²

For n = 2

E₂ = -13.6 / 2²

E₂ = -13.6/4

E₂ = -3.4 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₂ = 3.4 ev

For n = 4

E₄ = -13.6 / 4²

E₄ = -13.6/16

E₄ = -0.85 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₄ = 0.85 ev

Wavelength of radiation emitted:

E = hc/λ = E₄ - E₂

hc/λ = E₄ - E₂

by putting values,

6.63×10⁻³⁴Js × 3×10⁸m/s / λ = -0.85ev - (-3.4ev )

6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s / λ = 2.55 ev

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s /2.55ev

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s /2.55× 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 2.55× 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 4.08×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 4.87×10⁻⁷ m

m to nm:

4.87×10⁻⁷ m ×10⁹nm/1 m

4.87×10² nm

Frequency:

Frequency = speed of electron / wavelength

by putting values,

Frequency = 3×10⁸m/s /4.87×10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ Hz
