When optically active (R)-2-methylcyclohexanone is treated with either aqueous base or acid, racemization occurs. Explain.

Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Racemization is said to occur when a 1:1 ratio of (+) and (-) enantiomers of a compound are produced in a reaction.

The reaction of optically active (R)-2-methylcyclohexanone with either aqueous base or acid leads to the formation of a planar enol species for reaction with acid and a planar enolate species for reaction with base.

Both reactions involves the formation of achiral species which reverts back to the chiral product with equal chances of the formation of both enantiomers of the product during the process. This leads to racemization of the product in both cases.

Identify the element: 6 energy level, metallic, 82 election
Lady bird [3.3K]

<u>Answer</u>:-

Name of element = Lead

Symbol ♾ of Lead = Pb

Atomic no. = 82

Atomic mass = 207.2 amu

No. of protons = 82

No. of electrons = 82

Yes, lead(Pb) is a metallic element and certainly it has 6 electron shells which means 6 energy level.

a researcher obtains a sample of 0.070 M nitrate solition. A 20.0 mL aliquote of the nitrate solution is added to 10.0 mL of amm
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.007 M

Explanation:

Given:

Concentration nitrate solution = 0.070 m

Volume of aliquote of the nitrate solution is add = 10.0 ml

Total volume = 100 ml

Find:

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution

Computation:

Number of M. mole = 0.070 m x 10.0 ml

Number of M. mole = 0.7 m-moles

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.7 m-moles / 100 ml

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.007 M

A 10% bleach solution for disinfecting countertops can be prepared by: a. weighing the bleach and the water b. weight to volume
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The correct answer is - c. adding 10 mL bleach to 90 mL water.

Explanation:

To prepare a effective disinfecting solution to clean the countertops is a bleasce solution of 10% solution of bleach. The ten percent of the bleach solution means there are one volve of bleach and 9 volume of clean water in this solution.

So, preparing the 1/10 or ten percent solution is where adding 10 ml of bleach which is diluted to 90 ml clean water. This diluted solution can be use as disinfecting solution.

describe the photoelectric effect and explain why it made modifications to the Rutherford model necessary
spayn [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

photoelectric effect and the modifications to the Rutherford model  is necessary

<u>Explanation:</u>

Photoelectric effect refers to emission of electrons when a light of certain frequency falls into a metal surface or a metal atom.

Rutherford, through his alpha particle scattering experiment, proposed the emission of electrons, in which he used a thin gold foil and high energy alpha particle were directed to the foil. He suggested that any light can emit electron from any metal surface.
