Barbiturates, including "truth serums" seen in movies like Meet the Fockers and sedatives that may have led to the untimely deat

h of Jimi Hendrix, are often synthesized using what type of reaction sequence involving two consecutive enolate alkylations

Chemistry

Naya [18.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Diethyl malonate is more acidic than monocarbonyl compounds (pKa=13) due to their alpha hydrogens being attached to two carbonyl groups. Thus, the <u>malonic ester is easily converted to its enolate ion by reaction with sodium ethoxide in ethanol</u>. The product of the alkylation of the malonic ester leaves a <u>hydrogen atom acid in an alpha position</u>, so the alkylation process can be repeated a second time to produce a dialkylated malonic ester.

In this case, when urea is treated with diethyl malonate in the presence of sodium ethoxide base,<u> the second alkylation step occurs intramolecularly</u> to generate a cyclic product, barbituric acid.

For the reaction below, Kp = 1.16 at 800.°C. CaCO3(s) equilibrium reaction arrow CaO(s) + CO2(g) If a 25.0-g sample of CaCO3 is
goblinko [34]

Answer:

76.0%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

At equilibrium, the equilibrium constant Kp is:

Kp = 1.16 = pCO₂ ⇒ pCO₂ = 1.16 atm

We can calculate the moles of CO₂ at equilibrium using the ideal gas equation.

P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{1.16atm\times 14.4 L}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K)\times 1073K} =0.190mol

From the balanced equation, we know that 1 mole of CO₂ is produced by 1 mole of CaCO₃. Taking into account that the molar mass of CaCO₃ is 100.09 g/mol, the mass of CaCO₃ that reacted is:

0.190molCO_{2}.\frac{1molCaCO_{3}}{1molCO_{2}} .\frac{100.09gCaCO_{3}}{1molCaCO_{3}} =19.0gCaCO_{3}

The percentage by mass of the CaCO₃ that reacted to reach equilibrium is:

\frac{19.0g}{25.0g} \times 100\%=76.0\%

Carl walked 12m north then turned around and walked back 4m south. What was his
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Distance: 16m Displacement: 8m North

Explanation:

Total distance is the total amount traveled, regardless of direction. So, you would just add 12 and 4 to get a total distance of 16m. Displacement is the distance/direction from the start to the end point, regardless of which way you got there. So, to find displacement, you just subtract:

12m North - 4m South = 8m North

The concentration of protein in a urine sample is calculated to be 2.77 μg/mL. What is the concentration of this solution in uni
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is 2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}

Explanation:

Units of measurement are established models for measuring different quantities. The conversion of units is the transformation of a quantity, expressed in a certain unit of measure, into an equivalent one, which may or may not be of the same system of units.

In this case, the conversion of units is carried out knowing that 1 μg are equal to 2.205*10⁻⁹ Lb and  1 mL equals 0.00022 Gallons. So

2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = \frac{2.77 ug}{mL}

If 1 μg equals 2.205*10⁻⁹  lb, 2.77 μg how many lb equals?

lb=\frac{2.77ug*2.205*10^{-9}lb }{1ug}

lb=6.10785*10⁻⁹

So, 2.77 μg= 6.10785*10⁻⁹ lb

Then:

2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = \frac{2.77 ug}{mL}=\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{mL} =\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{0.00022 gal} =\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{0.00022 gal}

You get:

2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = 2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}

<u><em>The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is </em></u>2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}<u><em></em></u>
