In order to reduce the exposure to organic solvents like turpentine, some art instructors recommend the students clean brushes a

nd hands with vegetable oil or mineral oil. Would such oils be more effective removing water-based paints or oil-based paints? EXPLAIN

Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.

To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.

Please help me with this basic organic conversion.<br>use the shortest way to do it​
jonny [76]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

This conversion must go through a sequence of steps as i have shown in the image attached to this answer.

The acetone is converted to propan-2-ol using LiAlH4, THF and acid. The  propan-2-ol may be converted to propene by E2 elimination. Addition of HBr yields 2-bromo propane.

The Wurtz reaction converts 2-bromo propane to 2,3- dimethyl butane. This can be brominated in the presence of light to yield 3-bromo-2,3-dimethyl butane. Elimination of HBr using a base leads to the formation of the required product as shown.

Marizza181 [45]

This is a incomplete question. The complete question is:

It takes 348 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Round your answer to correct number of significant digits

Answer: 344 nm

Explanation:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

E= energy  = 348kJ= 348000 J  (1kJ=1000J)

N = avogadro's number = 6.023\times 10^{23}

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js&#10;

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8ms^{-1}

348000=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}

\lambda=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{348000}

\lambda=3.44\times 10^{-7}m=344nm    1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 344 nm
