An alkyne with the molecular formula C5H8 was reduced with H2 and Lindlar's catalyst. Hydroboration-oxidation of the resulting a
irinina [24]

Since the addition of the H2O in the last step of hydroboration is anti-Markovnikov, the starting material is 1-pentyne.

The addition of H2 to C5H8 yields an alkene when a Lindlar catalyst is used. Recall that the Lindlar catalysts poisons the process so that the addition do not go on to produce an alkane.

When hydroboration is carried out on the alkene, we are told that a primary alcohol was obtained. We must note that in the last step of hydroboration, water is added in an anti- Markovnikov manner to yield the primary alcohol. Hence, the starting material must be 1-pentyne as shown in the image attached.

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful
BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

If a 12-volt battery produces a current of 20 amps, what is the resistance?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

0.6 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 20 A

Resistance (R) =?

From Ohm's law,

V = IR

Where:

V => is the voltage

I => is the current

R => R is the resistance

With the above formula, we can obtain the resistance as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 20 A

Resistance (R) =?

V = IR

12 = 20 × R

Divide both side by 20

R = 12 / 20

R = 0.6 Ω

Thus the resistance is 0.6 Ω
