Question
Chapter 13, Problem 37P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason behind the racemic mixture formed when (R)-4-methyl-3-hexanone is dissolved in an acidic or basic medium has to be explained.
Concept introduction: A racemic mixture is formed when a compound is dissolved in the acidic or basic medium. It is because in both acidic and basic medium the enolate anion is formed. Enolate anion is planar and attacks from both above and below the plane to give a racemic mixture.

A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer. a. Compare the solution concentrations expressed as ppm Zn and ppm Zn(NO3)2. Compare the concentrations expressed as M Zn and M Zn(NO3)2 - Which units allow easy conversion between chemical species (e.g. Zn and Zn(NO3)2)? - Which units express concentrations in numbers with easily expressed magnitudes? - Suppose you have an analyte for which you don't know the molar…arrow_forward
