svp [43]3 years ago

Answer:

The reactive nucleophile is Ketone.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, The process of acid - catalyzed aldol condensation starts from when ketone (or any aldehyde) is converted to an -enol, after which it attacks another ketone/aldehyde that has already been activated by parbonyl oxygen protonation.

The process of this is that first of all the ketone undergoes tautomerization to form -enol. Thereafter, the other carbonyl will undergo protonation which makes the carbon activated towards attack. Now, the nucleophilic enol will be added to the carbonyl in a [1,2]-addition reaction and we will now use deprotonation to obtain the neutral Aldol product.

Now, since only the ketone can produce an -enol, thus it is the nucleophile as aldehydes are better electrophiles

The balanced equation for the reaction of ammonia and oxygen is the following. 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g) The stand
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

ΔS° = 180.5 J/mol.K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

4 NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

The standard molar entropy of the reaction (ΔS°) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔS° = ∑np × S°p - ∑nr × S°r

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

S°i are the standard molar entropies of reactants and products

ΔS° = 4 mol × S°(NO(g)) + 6 × S°(H₂O(g)) - 4 mol × S°(NH₃(g)) - 5 mol × S°(O₂(g))

ΔS° = 4 mol × 210.8 J/K.mol + 6 × 188.8 j/K.mol - 4 mol × 192.5 J/K.mol - 5 mol × 205.1 J/K.mol

ΔS° = 180.5 J/K

This is the change in the entropy per mole of reaction.

Describe the movement of electrons when the atom colors by applying ground state and excitement state?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations.The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum
