The addition of nucleophiles to the carbon-carbon double bond of an α , β unsaturated aldehyde or ketone and the regioselectivity of the addition has to be accounted. Concept introduction: Electrophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where in a chemical bond , a Π bond is Brocken and two new σ bonds are formed, the substrate of an electrophilic addition reaction must have a double bond or triple bond. Carbocation: The carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it. Nucleophile: donates pair of electrons to positively charged substrate resulting in the formation of chemical bond.

Consider elimination reaction where alkenes are formed when alkyl halides are treated with bases via eliminating one β-proton and one α-halo group of the alkyl halide. The product of the elimination reaction is depends upon the β-positions of alkyl halide. If the β-positions are identical and the products formed are also identical. If the β-positions are different and the products formed are also different. This means the double bond can form in two different regions so this type of reaction is called regioselective and the products are called as regiochemical outcomes.

Interpretation: The addition of nucleophiles to the carbon-carbon double bond of an α,β unsaturated aldehyde or ketone and the regioselectivity of the addition has to be accounted.

Concept introduction:

Electrophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where in a chemical bond, a Π bond is Brocken and two new σ bonds are formed, the substrate of an electrophilic addition reaction must have a double bond or triple bond.

Carbocation: The carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.

Nucleophile: donates pair of electrons to positively charged substrate resulting in the formation of chemical bond.

Electrophile: accepts pair of electrons from negatively charged substrate results in chemical bond formation.

Consider elimination reaction where alkenes are formed when alkyl halides are treated with bases via eliminating one β-proton and one α-halo group of the alkyl halide.

The product of the elimination reaction is depends upon the β-positions of alkyl halide. If the β-positions are identical and the products formed are also identical. If the β-positions are different and the products formed are also different. This means the double bond can form in two different regions so this type of reaction is called regioselective and the products are called as regiochemical outcomes.

There is an instrument in Johnson 334 that measures total-reflectance x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) to do elemental analysis (i.e., determine what elements are present in a sample). A researcher is preparing a to measure calcium content in a series of well water samples by TXRF with an internal standard of vanadium (atomic symbol: V). She has prepared a series of standard solutions to ensure a linear instrument response over the expected Ca concentration range of 40-80 ppm. The concentrations of Ca and V (ppm) and the instrument response (peak area, arbitrary units) are shown below. Also included is a sample spectrum. Equation 1 describes the response factor, K, relating the analyte signal (SA) and the standard signal (SIS) to their respective concentrations (CA and CIS).

A mixture of 0.568 M H₂O, 0.438 M Cl₂O, and 0.710 M HClO are enclosed in a vessel at 25 °C. H₂O(g) + C₁₂O(g) = 2 HOCl(g) K = 0.0900 at 25°C с Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of each gas at 25 °C. [H₂O]= [C₁₂O]= [HOCI]= M Σ M

What units (if any) does the response factor (K) have? Does the response factor (K) depend upon how the concentration is expressed (e.g. molarity, ppm, ppb, etc.)?
