b) Do either left (bottom) or right (top). If you have time at the end to do both, I will count your best one. Deuterium (D) is just an isotope of hydrogen (H). H₂CH₂CH₂CS NaBD4 CH3OH (ex) SCH₂CH₂CH3 (H₂SO4) H₂O (ex)
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
![**Instructions for Students:**
**Task b**
You need to complete either the left (bottom) path or the right (top) path. If you finish both, I will evaluate your best submission. Keep in mind that Deuterium (D) is an isotope of hydrogen (H).
**Chemical Reaction Pathways:**
1. **Left Pathway:**
- Reactants: The molecular structure shown has a cyclohexanone core with substituents including an ethyl group and a thioethoxy group.
- Reagents: NaBD₄ (Sodium Borodeuteride) and CH₃OH (Methanol, in excess).
- Process: This pathway likely involves a reduction reaction targeting the carbonyl group.
2. **Right Pathway:**
- Reactants: Same starting molecular structure as the left pathway.
- Reagents: (H₂SO₄) and H₂O (in excess).
- Process: This is possibly an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis or similar transformation involving sulfuric acid.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The central structure is a cyclohexane ring with a carbonyl group.
- To the left, the reaction conditions involve a reducing agent (NaBD₄) which may reduce the carbonyl to an alcohol.
- To the right, the presence of sulfuric acid suggests an acid-mediated transformation, affecting the substituents or the functional group.
**Note:** When writing your solution, be precise about the reaction mechanisms and the expected products for each pathway.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F96c43769-2331-4d91-b7f9-4a256a33e785%2Fde81e0cb-c129-4701-ad7a-462bf6c04fd3%2Fq8zrkme_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
