Adi loves the smell of lavender, so she decides to press a few petals of the flower until they release a few drops of oil. She w

ants to determine the molecular weight of the oily substance to try to identify the fragrance she likes so much. Her lab instructor tells her that her experiment will not work. Why do you think it will not work?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

What Adi failed to realize is that the oily substance that was obtained from lavender consists of a mixture of substances. It is not only the required  fragrance that is present in the extract.

This experiment will not work because those other components in the mixture may be erroneously identified when they show up in the mass spectrum of the extract and may be mistaken for the fragrance in question.

Hence the experiment will not work because; if some kind of separation method is not used to identify other impurities in the oil, many other substances may be mistaken for the actual fragrance.

An element with the valence electron configuration 4s24p4 would form a monatomic ion with a charge of fill in the blank 5 . In o
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Charge= -2.

Gains two electron into the 4p^4 to become 4p^6.

Explanation:

The element in the periodic table/chart that matches with the valence electron configuration is Selenium with full electron configuration of [Ar] 3d^10 4s^2 4P^4 which is a non-metal that is found in group 4 of the periodic table/chart.

Selenium can receive 2 more electrons on the 4p^4 to give a -2(minus 2) ion that is Se^2-.

Selenium can also loose 2 electron from 4s^2 to give a +2 ion that is Se^2+.

Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 2 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^4+.

Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 4 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^6+.

Thus, in order to form a monatomic ion with a charge(we will be making use of the most stable one). Thus, it will gain two more electron since this is easier to become 4s^2 4p^6.

Major species present when fructose is dissolved in water
Katyanochek1 [597]
The fructose chemical formula is C6H12O6. The answer to the question above regarding the major species present when fructose is dissolved in water (H2O) is "None". No ions are present. It is false that when sugar is dissolved in water there will be strong electrolytes.

10. Isolation of a pure sample of the third product, which has been determined to be an isomer of the major and minor products,
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Four possible isomers (1–4) for the natural product essramycin. The structure of compound 1 was attributed to essramycin by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HMBC, HRMS, and IR experiments.

Explanation:

Three synthetic routes were used to prepare all four compounds (Figure 2A). All three reactions utilize 2-(5-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1-phenylethanone (5) as the precursor, whereas each uses different esters (6–8) to construct the pyrimidinone ring. Isomer 1 was prepared by reaction A, which used triazole 5 and ethyl acetoacetate (6) in acetic acid. This was the reaction used in syntheses of essramycin by the Cooper and Moody laboratories.3,4 Reaction B produced compound 2 (minor product) and compound 3 (major product), which were separated chromatographically. This reaction allowed reagent 5 to react with ethyl 3-ethoxy-2-butenoate (7) in the presence of sodium in methanol, under reflux for 24 h. Compound 4 was prepared by reaction C, which was obtained by reflux of 5 and methyl 2-butynoate (8) in n-butanol.
