The aldol reaction is catalyzed by acid as well as base. What is the reactive nucleophile in the acid-catalyzed aldol reaction

Chemistry

svp [43]2 years ago
4 0

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

When the potential difference across a lamp is 3.3V the current is 0.15 calculate the resistance of the lamp and give the unit
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

22Ω

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Potential difference  = 3.3V

Current  = 0.15A

Unknown:

Resistance  = ?

Solution:

According to ohm's law, potential difference, current and resistance are related by the expression below;

             V = I R

where V is the voltage

           I is the current

          R is the resistance

          3.3 = 0.15 x R

             R = \frac{3.3}{0.15}   = 22Ω

Consider the reaction.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Note the signs of equilibrium:-

  • Reaction don't procede forward or backward
  • Concentration of products and reactants remains same .

So

if

Concentration of A is 2M then concentration of B should be same .

So equilibrium constant K is 1

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail K=\dfrac{[Products]^a}{[Reactants]^b}

So

  • [B]=[A]^2
  • [B]=2^2
  • [B]=4M

What is the mass of 7 x 10^28 atoms of Fe?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

6 x 10⁶ g Fe

Explanation:

Step 1: Set up dimensional analysis

7 x 10²⁸ atoms Fe (1 mol Fe/6.02 x 10²³ atoms Fe)(55.85 g Fe/1 mol Fe)

Step 2: Multiply, divide, and cancel out units

atoms Fe and atoms Fe cancel out.

mol Fe and mol Fe cancel out.

We should be left with g Fe.

7 x 10²⁸/6.02 x 10²³ = 116279 mol Fe

116279(55.85) = 6.49 x 10⁶ g Fe

Step 3: Sig figs

There is only 1 sig fig in this problem.

6.49 x 10⁶ g Fe ≈ 6 x 10⁶ g Fe
