Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

A Grignard reagent is an alkyl magnesium halide. If it reacts with ethyl formate, an intermediate is formed as shown.

This intermediate can undergo water hydrolysis to form a diol, ethanol and MgBrOH.

Oxidation of the diol obtained now yields the corresponding alkanal which in this case is ethanal.

The scheme of the reaction is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Select a system in the human body and explain how a breakdown in the digestive system might affect the system you just chose.\

Citrus2011 [14]

6) A student measures out 96.21 g of sulfur for an experiment. How many moles of Sulfur are in this

barxatty [35]

Atomic mass of Sulfur = 32g

32g of Sulfur is one mole.

1g of Sulfur is $\frac{1}{32} moles$

96.21g of Sulfur is $\frac{96.21}{32} moles=> 3moles(appx)$

How can you obtain hydrogen from a mixture of ethene, hydrogen and ammonia gases?

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

We normally separate unreacted hydrogen from ammonia (product) in Haber process. The reaction mixture contains some ammonia, plus a lot of unreacted hydrogen and nitrogen. The mixture is cooled and compressed, causing the ammonia gas to condense into a liquid.
