The first student treats the starting material which is the 3-oxobutanoic acid with sodium methoxide which is followed by methyl iodide and form compound A. Analysis 1HNMR it shows that this is not the desired material.
Compound A has same 2-methyl-3- oxobutanoate acid as molecular formula.
Answer : Option C) 0.3 mol of Gold.
Explanation : Amongst the options given in the question, 0.3 mol of Au is the greatest in mass in grams.
As 0.3 mol X atomic weight of Au (196.966) = 59.088 grams;
Silver has 0.5 mol X atomic weight of Ag (107.86) = 53.93 grams;
The other options are not relevant as they deal in the atomic range which has mass value very less as compared to the moles of elements.
Therefore, it is clear that Au has the greatest mass amongst the given choices.
Asexual reproduction involves mitosis. It could be by a number of different ways, but all of them involve making new cells from the ones that are already there.
Note that mitosis is also valuable for repairing damaged tissue, replacing worn out cells, growing, and developing, not just asexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction does not occur by meiosis.
