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.

Is C2H7 ionic or covalent? <br><br> what would you name NO4? <br><br> what would you name MgCl2?
Vlad [161]

C₂H₇ is a covalent compound

N0₄ will be name nitrogen(viii) oxide

MgCl₂ will be named magnesium chloride.

<h3>What are covalent compounds? </h3>

Covalent compounds are compounds which are formed when two electronegative atoms combine together by a sharing of electrons between them.

Covalent compound molecules are usually formed from a combination of non-metals.

The C₂H₇ is a covalent radical formed from the addition of a hydrogen ions to the covalent compound C₂H₆

<h3>What would you name NO₄?</h3>

The name given to a compound depends on the oxidation number of the component elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen is -2.

Since there are 4 atoms of oxygen, the total negative charge is -8.

Nitrogen will have to exist in the +8 state in order to give a neutral compounds.

Therefore, the name given to the compound will be nitrogen (viii) oxide.

<h3>What would you name MgCl₂? </h3>

Magnesium chloride, MgCl₂  is an ionic compound formed from the ionic bond between chlorine and magnesium.

Magnesium donates two electrons to two chlorine atoms to form magnesium chloride, MgCl₂.

Which of the following laws is NOT explained by Dalton's atomic theory? A.the law of conservation of mass B. the periodic law C.
zysi [14]

B. the periodic law

Explanation:

The periodic law was not explained by the Dalton's atomic theory.

The periodic law was first postulated by Dimitry Mendeleef and Lothar Meyer around 1869 where they independently arrived at the periodic table or chart.

  • The table was based on the periodic law which states that "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".
  • The modern periodic law was restated by Henry Moseley in the early 1900s. He changed the basis of the law to atomic number.
  • The present periodic law is stated as "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".

The laws of conservation of mass, multiple proportions and definite proportions are all explained by the Dalton's atomic theory.
