Question
Chapter 1, Problem 49EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The formal charge on S and O atoms is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Some organic
To calculate the formal charge on an atom in any given structure it is necessary to distinguish between the electrons that make up an atom’s octet and the electrons that formally “belong” to an atom. In any given Lewis structure all electrons associated with an atom either as an unshared pair or shared pair are part of that atom’s octet.

a. What is the eluent used in the column chromatography here (a “silica plug filtration” is essentially a very short column)?
b. The spectroscopy of compound 5b is described in the second half of this excerpt, including 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR (which you will learn about in CHEM 2412L), MS (which you will learn about later in CHEM 2411L) and IR. One of the IR signals is at 3530 cm-1. What functional group does this indicate might be present in compound 5b?

- NH3 decomposes through an equilibrium reaction between NH3, H2, and N2. Only one of the options is correct:(A). The mechanism of the NH3 decomposition reaction must necessarily involve the collision of two NH3 molecules to induce a rearrangement of the atoms in this molecule.(B). The molecular weight of the NH3 decomposition reaction is 2 since two NH3 molecules must collide.(C). The rate of the NH3 decomposition reaction must be greater than that of NH3 synthesis, since the former requires two molecules to collide and the latter, four.(D). The NH3 decomposition reaction cannot occur in a single step.arrow_forwardGiven the equilibrium A2 + B2 ⇌ 2 AB where k1 is the rate coefficient of the forward reaction and k-1 is the rate coefficient of the reverse reaction, with the forward reaction being first-order in A2 and B2, and the reverse reaction being second-order in AB.
