Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the addition of HCN in water with NaOH to 3,4-dimethylcyclopentan-1-one to give the correspo

nding cyanohydrin in the fewest steps. Draw the arrows that lead to the resonance structures with full octets around each atom other than hydrogen. Draw all electrons and charges if necessary on all structures; do not show any inorganic side products or counterions. Reagents needed for each step are provided in the boxes.

Answer:

See picture and explanation below

Explanation:

In the attached picture you have the answer for this.

In the first step, we have an acid base reaction between HCN and NaOH. When this happens, its formed the following:

HCN + NaOH --------> CN⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

As a second step, The CN⁻ attacks the carbonile group in the cyclopentane. This causes to open the double bond, and then, the Cyano enters the molecule.

The final step is another acid base reaction, where the oxygen substracts a hydrogen atom of the water in the medium, and then, the alcohol group is formed. With this step, the cyanohydrin is finally formed. See the mechanism below in the picture.

Hope this helps

If a buffer solution is 0.130 M in a weak acid (K_a = 1.7 x 10^-5) and 0.590 M in its conjugate base, what is the pH?
Serggg [28]
Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid]
pH = -log(1.7 x 10^-5) + log(0.590/0.130) = 5.43

Identify the situation where work is being done. Carrying a box of crayons across the room. Lifting a backpack off the floor Hol
Likurg_2 [28]
Lifting the backpack off the floor. Force is being applied in only one direction then (up) which is what constitutes as work. Carrying the box of crayons applies force in two directions (up and forward), which cancel each other out. Work has a vector, which is a quantity containing both direction and magnitude (one, finite direction, not two).

What is the molecular formula of a compound given the molar mass of the compound is 62.18 g/mol and the empirical formula is c2h
Mariulka [41]
To get the molecular formula we use the individual atomic masses of the atoms making the molecule. Hence, to get the factor by which the empirical formula is multiplied, we divide molar mass by the total of the mass of the atoms making the empirical formula.
(C2H7) the mass of one carbon atoms is 12 so two atoms add up to 24. The mass of one hydrogen atom is 1 a.m.u thus 7 atoms give a total of 7 a.m.u. The sum of the two types of atoms is 24+7= 31
Molar mass=62.18
62.18/31=2.0
Hence, (C2H7) 2=C4H14

True or False: The solute is ALWAYS a solid and the solvent is ALWAYS a liquid
sasho [114]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Note that the solvent is the substance that is present in the greatest amount. Many different kinds of solutions exist. For example, a solute can be a gas, a liquid or a solid. ... Note that in each case, the solute particles are uniformly distributed among the solvent particles.
