Answer/Explanation:

It gets energy from the sun that was inside of the grass.

It happens like this:

Sun gives energy to grass, grass gives energy to zebra.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>When the zebra eats grass, it gets energy from the sun that has been stored in the grass. Similarly, the lion obtains energy stored in the zebra. The zebra and lion both obtain the sun's energy indirectly from the energy that the grass obtained through photosynthesis. </u>

The balanced combustion reaction for C₆H₆

2C₆H₆(l)+15O₂(g)⇒ 12CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l) +6542 kJ

MW C₆H₆ : 78.11 g/mol

mol C₆H₆ :

$\tt \dfrac{8.5}{78.11}=0.109$

Heat released for 2 mol C₆H₆ =6542 kJ, so for 1 mol

$\tt \dfrac{0.109}{2}\times 6542=356.539~kJ/mol$

Heat transferred to water :

Q=m.c.ΔT

$\tt 356.539=5.691~kg\times 4.18~kj/kg^oC\times (t_2-21)\\\\t_2-21=15\rightarrow t_2=36^oC$

blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL

<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?

A) 1 < 2 < 3

B) 2 < 3 < 1

C) 3 < 1 < 2

D) 1 < 3 < 2

<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>

Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.

A carbonyl compound is a $sp^2$ hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.

In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.
