Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In this case, we need to see which is the structure of this compound. Now, racemization occurs basically because we are in an aqueous basic medium, and the ketone can reacts again with water in the medium to form the starting reagent.
First, the base will take out the Alpha hydrogen from the ketone, then, the negative charge goes down and opens up the carbonile group, forming a double bond in there. Later, with the water of the medium, it reacts and substract a proton, and then, with keto enolic equilibrium, forms again the ketone, but this ketone is different from the start, it will be the R isomer which is not optically active.

Answer:
NiS insoluble
Mg₃(PO₄)₂ insoluble
Li₂CO₃ soluble
NH₄Cl soluble
C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ molecules
Explanation:
<em>Predict whether the following compounds are soluble or insoluble in water.</em>
Based on the solubility rules we can say:
- NiS: Sulfides of transition metals are highly insoluble.
- Mg₃(PO₄)₂: All phosphates (except those with metals of Group 1) are insoluble so Mg₃(PO₄)₂ is insoluble.
- Li₂CO₃: all salts of metals of Group 1 are soluble so Li₂CO₃ is soluble.
- NH₄Cl: all salts of ammonium are soluble so NH₄Cl is soluble.
<em>Which of the following best describes the solute in an aqueous solution of sucrose or C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁(aq)?</em>
Sucrose is a molecular compound in which atoms are linked through covalent bonds. Thus, it does not ionize in water (is a non-electrolyte) and when it dissolves it exists as C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ molecules.
Im a bit torn here, lets look at the definitions of physical and chemical changes:
physical change changes only the phase/state of a substance, but not what the substance is
chemical change is a chemical reaction where a new substance is formed and energy is given off or absorbed.
(it just started raining and it smells really nice out my window)
clearly, this cannot be just a physical reaction. i think i would be inclined to pick B. but C. could have merit as an answer too. sorry for the ambiguity x
