Chapter 15.12C, Problem 15.19P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation corresponding to the given statement that the [4+2] Diels-Alder reaction is photochemically forbidden is to be proved.

Concept introduction:

When ultraviolet light is used rather than heat for [4+2] Diels-Alder reaction, it is photochemically not allowed. A photon with correct energy strikes 1,3butadiene, due to which one of the pi electrons gets excited to the next high molecular orbital. This high orbital is now occupied and is the new HOMO of the excited molecule.

Imagine an electrochemical cell based on these two half reactions with electrolyte concentrations as given below:   Oxidation: Pb(s) → Pb2+(aq, 0.10 M) + 2 e– Reduction: MnO4–(aq, 1.50 M) + 4 H+(aq, 2.0 M) + 3 e– → MnO2(s) + 2 H2O(l) Calculate Ecell (assuming temperature is standard 25 °C).
: ☐ + Draw the Fischer projection of the most common naturally-occurring form of aspartate, with the acid group at the top and the side chain at the bottom. Important: be sure your structure shows the molecule as it would exist at physiological pH. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. ✓
For a silver-silver chloride electrode, the following potentials are observed: E°cell = 0.222 V and E(saturated KCl) = 0.197 V Use this information to find the [Cl–] (technically it’s the activity of Cl– that’s relevant here, but we’ll just call it “concentration” for simplicity) in saturated KCl.
