The reason for the introduction of an acetal group, mechanism of its synthesis and hydrolysis, conversion of an aldehyde to alcohol in an acidic medium, mechanism of phenyl hydrazone synthesis, and lactone synthesis are to be discussed. Concept introduction: Acetals are the functional moieties in which a carbon atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms which are then bonded to alkyl chains. These are formed when alcohols react with carbonyl compounds or dihydropyran in an acidic medium or a basic medium. The acetal can be cleaved in an acidic medium to get back a carbonyl compound and an alcohol. Carboxylic acids undergo reduction in the presence of sodium amalgam, to form alcohols. Carbonyl compounds are nucleophilic in nature and undergo an addition reaction with amine derivatives like phenyl hydrazine, to form a carbon–nitrogen double bond. Treatment of epoxides with Grignard reagent can form primary alcohols.

1) Suppose 0.1 kg ice at 0°C (273K) is in 0.5kg water at 20°C (293K). What is the change in entropy of the ice as it melts at 0°? To produce the original "water gas" mixture, carbon (in a combustible form known as coke) is reacted with steam: 131.4 kJ + H20(g) + C(s) → CO(g) + H2(g) From this information and the equations in the previous problem, calculate the enthalpy for the combustion or carbon to form carbon dioxide. kindly show me how to solve both parts of the same long problem. Thanks

we were assigned to dilute 900ppm in to 18ppm by using only 250ml vol flask. firstly we did calc and convert 900ppm to 0.9 ppm to dilute in 1 liter. to begin the experiment we took 0,225g of kmno4 and dissolved in to 250 vol flask. then further we took 10 ml sample sol and dissolved in to 100 ml vol flask and put it in to a spectrometer and got value of 0.145A . upon further calc we got v2 as 50ml . need to find DF, % error (expval and accptVal), molarity, molality. please write the whole report. thank you The format, tables, introduction, procedure and observation, result, calculations, discussion and conclusion
