Draw a mechanism for this reaction. 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms 2-oxanone in the presence of acid. draw all missing reactants

and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds. add charges where needed. electron flow arrows should start on an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created.

Answer: -

The first step involves protonation of the carbonyl oxygen.

After protonation, the Alcohol oxygen now attacks the carbon of the carbonyl.

Thus a six membered ring is formed with 5 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The 1st position carbon atom has 2 OH groups.

One of these gets again protonated.

This leaves as water. With the loss of the H+, there results a carbonyl at 1 position.

Thus 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms a lactone or 2-oxanone in presence of acid.

Two of the seven different pea traits examined by Mendel involved genes that we now know are linked. Knowing this, can you expla
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:: Mendel studied how traits are been passed from parents to offspring using seven features in peas, including height, flower color, seed color, and seed shape. To do this he divided the pea plant into short height and tall height. From this experiment he proposed a principle called independent assortment, which describes how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop. Though this experiment was studied using gene formation in prokaryotic cell.

This principle of independent assortment is also seen in eukaryotic cells during meiosis.

Mendel proposed this principle because during cell formation of the offspring, each individual Gene from the parents will first separate to stand on its own before cross linking up together, which made the offspring look different from the parents. The principle of independent assortment does not criticize gene linkage, it only highlight how gene in the garments of the parents forms offspring, by sperating to assort independently.

Why do atomic model has changed over time
Elenna [48]

The model of the atom has dramatically changed over many many years.We learned atoms make up different substances and are the smallest particles of matter, which have subatomic particles that are very small portions of matter. At first scientist only thought there were electrons which are negatively charged.

What is the change in boiling point for a 0.615m solution of Mgl2 in water?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer :  The change in boiling point is, 0.94^oC

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta T_b=i\times K_f\times m

where,

\Delta T_b = change in boiling point = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 3 (for MgI₂ electrolyte)

K_f = boiling point constant for water = 0.51^oC/m

m = molality  = 0.615 m

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\Delta T_b=3\times (0.51^oC/m)\times 0.615m

\Delta T_b=0.94^oC

Therefore, the change in boiling point is, 0.94^oC
