6 0

Answer:

SOCl2, Mg, CH3CHO, H3O^+

Explanation:

The reaction of the 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol with SOCl2 converts the alcohol to an alkyl halide. This now reacts with Mg metal to yield a Grignard reagent.

The Grignard reagent reacts with CH3CHO and acid to yield 4,4-dimethylpentan-2-ol as shown in the image attached to this answer.

A match has about 21 milligrams of red phosphorus coating the tip. How many atoms of phosphorus is this?

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

4.083 * 10^20 atoms.

Explanation:

One Mole of phosphorus contains 6.022 * 10^23 atoms (Avogadros number)'

Since 1 mole of Phosphorus has a mass of 30.974 grams, 21 milligrams has

6.022 * 10^23 * 0.021 / 30.974

= 0.004083 * 10^23

= 4.083 * 10^20
