Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) is used as a strong base in organic synthesis. LDA is itself prepared by an acid-base reaction be

tween butyllithium and N,N-diisopropylamine, [(CH3)2CH]2NH. Write an equation for this reaction, and place the appropriate labels on each reagent and product from the following list: stronger acid, stronger base, weaker acid, weaker base.

Explanation:

Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) is used in many organic synthesis and is a strong base. It is prepared by the acid base reaction of N,N-diisopropylamine ( [(CH₃)₂CH]₂NH ) and butyllithium ( Li⁺⁻CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃ ).

The equation is show below as:

[(CH₃)₂CH]₂NH + Li⁺⁻CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃  ⇒  [(CH₃)₂CH]₂N⁻Li⁺  + CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃

N,N-diisopropylamine ( [(CH₃)₂CH]₂NH ) is a weaker acid and hence,  LDA ( [(CH₃)₂CH]₂N⁻Li⁺ ) is stronger base. (Weaker acid has stronger conjugate base)

Butyllithium ( Li⁺⁻CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃ ) is a very strong base and hence, butane ( CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃ ) is a very weak acid. (Strong base has weaker conjugate acid)

A solution of H2SO4(aq) with a molal concentration of 4.80 m has a density of 1.249 g/mL. What is the molar concentration of thi
Naddika [18.5K]
Imagine we have <span>mass of solvent 1kg (1000g)
According to that: </span>molality =n(solute) / m(solvent) =\ \textgreater \  4.8m = 4.8mole / 1kg
= 4.8 mole * 98 g/mole = 470g
m(H2SO4) = n(H2SO4)*Mr(H2SO4) =\ \textgreater \=\ \textgreater \  Molarity = 4.8 mole / 1.2 L = 4 M m(H2SO4)  which is =<span>470g

</span><span>m(solution) = m(H2SO4) + m(solvent) = 470 + 1000 = 1470 g
d(solution) = m(solution) / V(solution) =>
=> 1.249 g/mL = 1470 g / V(solution) =></span>
Molarity = n(solute) / V(solution) =\ \textgreater \

How do you get from mL to cm cubed
Nastasia [14]
Definition: Cubic centimeter. A cubiccentimetre (cm3) is equal to thevolume of a cube with side length of 1 centimetre. It was the base unit ofvolume of the CGS system of units, and is a legitimate SI unit. It is equal to a millilitre (ml).
