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.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Explanation:

Alcohols belong to a group of organic compounds which contain -OH group as the functional group.

So alcohols have the same carbon -hydrogen bonds as alkanes and the -OH functional group identifies the compound as an alcohol.

During early research in nuclear energy, why were scientists surprised that the products from splitting a uranium nucleus had le

creativ13 [48]

Scientists expected that the law of conservation of mass would apply to nuclear fission in terms of the masses of the subatomic particles. In reality, the mass of an atom is not equal to the sum of the masses of the subatomic particles that make it up. This is because of the energy that binds the subatomic particles. This energy has mass and when the bond is broken, the mass of the energy of the bonds is lost resulting to what we now cal, a mass defect.
