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

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

1)  100. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (3.3M)

2)  100. mL of 3.00 M NaCl solution (3 M)

3) 150. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (2.2 M)

4)  Number 1 and 5 have the same concentration (1.5M)

MW of NaCl = 23 + 36 = 59 g

For number 3

          59 g ------------------- 1 mol

           19,5 g -----------------   x

  x = 19.5 x 1/59 = 0.33 mol

Molarity (M) = 0.33 mol/0.150 l = 2.2 M

For number 4,

Molarity (M) = 0.33mol/0.10 l = 3.3 M

For number 5

Molarity (M) = 0.450/0.3 = 1.5 M

Write the balanced molecular chemical equation for the reaction
Ierofanga [76]

The balanced molecular chemical equation for the reaction will be expressed as Cs₂CO₃ + Mg(NO₃)₂ -> 2CsNO₃ + MgCO₃

  • For any chemical equation to be balanced, the number of moles of elements in the reactants must be equal to that of the product.

  • According to the question, we are to write a balanced equation for the reaction  in aqueous solution for cesium carbonate and magnesium  nitrate
  • The chemical formula for Cesium carbonate is Cs₂CO₃
  • The chemical formula for magnesium  nitrate is Mg(NO₃)₂

Hence the balanced molecular chemical equation for the reaction will be expressed as Cs₂CO₃ + Mg(NO₃)₂ -> 2CsNO₃ + MgCO₃

According to Table I, which equation represents a change resulting in the greatest quantity of energy released?
love history [14]
The answer is 3. The releasing of energy means exothermic reaction. So the ΔH should be negative. And the greatest quantity of energy released means that the greatest number. So according to the table I, the answer is 3.
