This is a incomplete question. The complete question is:
It takes 348 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Round your answer to correct number of significant digits
Answer: 344 nm
Explanation:
E= energy = 348kJ= 348000 J (1kJ=1000J)
N = avogadro's number = 
h = Planck's constant = 
c = speed of light = 

Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 344 nm
Explanation:
A compound is defined as follows.
- Compounds are pure substance.
- The atoms bonded in a compound are in specific proportion.
- A compound is formed by chemical combination.
- For a compound, melting point and boiling point is defined.
A mixture is defined as follows.
- Mixtures are impure substance.
- The bonded atoms in a mixture are in any proportion.
- A mixture is formed by physical combination.
- For a mixture, melting point and boiling point is not defined.
On changing the amount of one substance will affect the formation of compound as a compound requires atoms to be bonded in a specific proportion. Whereas changing the amount of one substance will not affect the formation of mixtures as atoms can be bonded in any proportion in a mixture.
Answer:
See detailed mechanism in the image attached
Explanation:
The mechanism shown in detail below is the synthesis of serine in steps.
The first step is the attack of the ethoxide ion base on the diethyl acetamidomalonate substrate giving the enolate and formaldehyde.
The second step is the protonation of the oxyanion from (1) above to form an alcohol as shown.
Acid hydrolysis of the alcohol formed in (3) above yields a tetrahedral intermediate, a dicarboxyamino alcohol.
Decarboxylation of this dicarboxyamino alcohol yields serine, the final product as shown in the image attached.
