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.

Convert the speed of light, 3.0 x 10^8 m/s, into mi/hr. (1610 m = 1 mi). Could you please explain step by step thank you!
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

v=6.7\times 10^9\ mi/hr

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

We need to convert it into mi/hr.

Since, 1 mile = 1610 m

1 hour = 3600 s

So,

v=3\times 10^8\ \dfrac{m}{s}\\\\=3\times 10^8\ \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{1610}\ \text{miles}}{\dfrac{1}{3600}\ s}\\\\=6.7\times 10^9\ mi/hr

So, the required speed of light is 6.7\times 10^9\ mi/hr.

Describe the rules used for writing the outer configuration for the s-block, p-block, and d-block elements?
Lorico [155]

<u>Rules to write the electronic configuration :</u>

Electrons complete orbitals in a way to reduce the energy of the atom. Therefore, the electrons in an atom complete the principal energy levels in order of rising energy (the electrons are getting distant from the nucleus). The order of levels filled appearances like the following

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p

One way to recognise this pattern, apparently the simplest, is to refer to the periodic table and remember where each orbital block drops to rationally understand this pattern. Different way is to make a table like the one below and use vertical lines to determine which subshells resemble with each other.

  • S block: The S obstruct in the periodic table of components known as gatherings 1 and 2. There is a limit of two electrons that can possess the s orbital.
  • P Block: The P square contains group of 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, except for Helium.
  • D Block: The D block elements are found in groups 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the periodic table.

When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II)
alexandr402 [8]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II) sulfate PbSO₄ is reduced to lead at the cathode and oxidized to solid lead(II) oxide PbO at the anode.

Suppose a current of 96.0 A is fed into a car battery for 37.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol.

Answer:

3.81 g of lead

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Pb^2+(aq) + 2e ---->Pb(s)

Quantity of charge = 96.0 A * 37.0 seconds = 3552 C

Now we have that 1F = 96500 C so;

207 g of lead is deposited by 2 * 96500 C

x g of lead is deposited by 3552 C

x = 207 *  3552/2 * 96500

x = 735264/193000

x = 3.81 g of lead
