Here's what I get
Explanation:
You may have done a Williamson synthesis of guaifenesin by reacting guaiacol with 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol.
A. Mechanism
Step 1
NaOH converts guaiacol into a phenoxide ion.
Step 2
The phenoxide acts as the nucleophile in an SN2 reaction to displace the Cl from the alkyl halide.
B. Improve the yield
You probably carried out the reaction in ethanol solution — a polar protic solvent.
You might try doing the reaction in a polar aprotic solvent— perhaps DMSO.
A polar aprotic solvent does not hydrogen bond to nucleophiles, so they become stronger.
C. Another method of ether synthesis —dehydration of alcohols
Sulfuric acid catalyzes the conversion of primary alcohols to ethers.
This is also a nucleophilic displacement reaction.
Protonation of the OH converts it into a better leaving group.
Attack by a second molecule of alcohol forms the protonated ether.
A molecule of water then removes the proton.
The SI unit for temperature is Kelvin.
Answer:
Chitin
Explanation:
A fly's main body is made of a thorax and an abdomen. These parts are covered by a hard exoskeleton made of a bony substance called chitin.
The momentum of the body is 12 m/s.
<h3>What is momentum?</h3>
Momentum is the product of the mass of a body and velocity. According to Newton's second law, the rate of change of momentum is equal to the impressed force.
The details required to answer the first two questions are missing hence we can't answer those questions. For the last question;
p = mv
m = mass
v = velocity
p = momentum
v = p/m
v = 72,000 kgm/s/6,000 kg
v = 12 m/s
