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.

How many moles of CO gas are in 34.6 L?

Troyanec [42]

moles of CO gas : 1.545

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Standard conditions for temperature and pressure are used as a reference in certain calculations or conditions

There are 2 conditions that are usually used as a reference : STP and RTP

Assuming the STP state :

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters / mol.

Then for 34.6 L of CO gas :

$\tt moles=\dfrac{34.6}{22.4}=1.545$

4.2g of sodium bicarbonate is equivalent to how many moles of sodium bicarbonate

Mnenie [13.5K]

<span>The mass of one mole of sodium bicarbonate (aka NaHCO3) is equal to 1 * 22.99g/mol + 1 * 1.00g/mol + 1 * 12.01g/mol + 3 * 16.00g/mol = 83.91g/mol. From this, we can convert 4.2g of NaHCO3 to moles by dividing by 83.91g/mol, to get 0.050 moles of sodium bicarbonate.</span>
