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.

A rectangular fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 60ft. Find the dimensions of the fence
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will turn this question into an equation.

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w = perimeter.

In the question we were given the perimeter so we can go ahead and plug this in.

2l + 2w = 60

In the question we are also told that the fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. This means that 1l = 3w. We can now subsitute l for 3w so that we only have one variable.

2(3w) + 2w = 60

Now we can simply use algebra to solve for w.

6w + 2w = 60

8w = 60

w = 7.5

Now that we know the value of w we can find the value of l since we know 1l = 3w.

l = 3w

l = 3(7.5)

l = 22.5

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.
