An unknown has a chemical formula of C4H10O. When chromic acid was added to the unknown, it turned green. When the Lucas reagent

was added to a separate portion of the unknown, it turned cloudy in 5 minutes. When NaOH and KI/iodine was added to the unknown, a yellow precipitate formed. What is the structure of the unknown compound?

Answer:

The structure of the unknown compound is 2-butanol.

Explanation:

Chromic acid reagent is the most efficient procedure for oxidizing secondary alcohols. Chromic acid in aqueous sulfuric acid and acetone solution is known as Jones reagent, which oxidizes primary and secondary alcohols to carboxylic acids and ketones, respectively.

Lucas reagent reacts with primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols with fairly predictable rates, and these rates can be used to distinguish between the three types of alcohols.  If the solution becomes cloudy in 3 to 5 minutes it indicates the presence of a secondary alcohol.

These two methods indicate the presence of a secondary alcohol, but the iodoform test indicates a specific structural unit.

Calculate 50g 25.0c to 95.000<br>O.897 J / (g.c)​
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Q = 3139.5 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 50 g

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = 95°C

Specific heat capacity = 0.897 j/g.°C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT =  95°C - 25°C

ΔT = 70°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 50 g× 0.897 J/g.°C ×70°C

Q = 3139.5 j

5. What is metallic bonding?<br> 6. Why are metals shiny?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Metallic bonding is found in metals and their alloys. When the atoms give up their valence electrons, they form ions. These ions are held together by the electron cloud surrounding them. Metals are shiny because they have a lot of free (i.e. delocalized) electrons that form a cloud of highly mobile negatively charged electrons on and beneath the smooth metal surface in the ideal case. ... In the absence of any external EM field, the charges in the plasma are uniformly distributed within the metal.

Explanation:

In metallic bonding, the electrons are “surrendered” to a common pool and become shared by all the atoms in the solid metal.

Who answers the three economic questions in a market economy? How is this different from command economy?
Natali [406]

Answer:

Market economies are characterized by their free markets. Examples are the United States and the United Kingdom.

  • That's pretty clear. What it means is that they trust in the free market and its operation to answer the questions of what to produce, how much to produce, and for whom.

Command economies are characterized by their control of markets. Examples are China and North Korea.

  • They rely on the government, <em>not the free market itself, </em>to control what should be produced. This makes for a more strict system that can pay off in the long run, but can also run the risk of being heavy-handed.

Why do some cells make food molecules?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

All living cells release energy from food  molecules through cellular breathing and/or fermentation. Some cells make food molecules using light energy through the process of (making food from light).

Making food from light- Photosynthesis

Breathing- Respiration

All living units give out power for a given time from food small complex units through formed of small units breathing and or fermentation. Some units make food small complex units using light power for a given time through the process of (making food from light).

Draw the major organic product for the reaction of 1-phenylpropan-1-one with the provided phosphonium ylide.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

2-methylene propylbenzene

Explanation:

The Wittig Reaction is a reaction that converts aldehydes and ketones into alkenes through reaction with a phosphorus ylide.

The ketone in this case is 1-phenylpropan-1-one. The provided phosphonium ylide is shown in the image attached. The reaction involves;

i) alkylation  

ii) addition

The product of the major organic product of the reaction is 2-methylene propylbenzene.
