Answer:
The glassware and solvent for the production of grignard reagent and its reaction should by dry and anhydrous so as to prevent the conversion of the grignard reagent into saturated alkane. Acetone, is not a good solvent for the generation of grignard reagent because it has the potential of forming alcohol.
Explanation:
Grignard reagent is a compound formed by the reaction of halide of alkyl or alkene with magnesium metal. This makes the compound more nucleophilic. Thus the availability of an electrophile around it will evoke a quick reaction. The presence of water in an acidic condition will generate hydroxonium ions which are highly electrophilic. There will therefore be an introduction of hydrogen ions to the grignard reagent and which will displace the MgBr leading to the formation of alkane.
Acetone tends to produce alcohol when they are exposed to grignard reagent, thus they are not appropriate to be used as solvent. This is due to the resultant highly electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon on the acetone, thus will react with the nucleophilic carbon on the grignard. The reaction can be represented as follows:
RMgBr + CH3(CO)CH3 + H (with hydrogen ions) >>>RCOH + Mg(OH)Br
An observation that requires measurement is called quantitative
Answer:
Shaking exposes the salts to the solvent more quickly. Shaking helps more water evaporate. Shaking equalizes the water temperature. Shaking causes more ions to precipitate out of solution.
Explanation:
<span>We have ground strate configurations of electrons,if electrons are filled in order of increasing energy. When there are electrons are in higher orbitals, we have an atom in an excited state.
B, and C are excited states.
In B, 2 electrons can fit in the 4s orbital, and that should fill fully before the 4p orbitals.
In C, the same is true for 5s and 5p
In D, this is not an excited state because 4s fills before 3d</span>
