Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: Among the given pair of compounds, the compound which forms the higher percentage of gem-diol at equilibrium is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Carbonyl compound reacts with water in presence of acid or base forms gem-diol or hydrate. The yield of the gem-diol depends on the stability of the carbonyl compound. Electron donating groups stabilize the carbonyl compounds, decreases the amount of hydrate at equilibrium. Electron withdrawing groups destabilize the carbonyl compounds, increases the amount of hydrate at equilibrium.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: Among the given pair of compounds, the compound which forms the higher percentage of gem-diol at equilibrium is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Carbonyl compound on treatment with water in presence of acid or base forms gem-diol or hydrate. The yield of the gem-diol depends on the stability of the carbonyl compound. Electron donating groups stabilize the carbonyl compounds, decreases the amount of hydrate at equilibrium. Electron withdrawing groups destabilize the carbonyl compounds, increases the amount of hydrate at equilibrium.

Draw product A, indicating what type of reaction occurs. NH2 F3C CF3 NH OMe NH2-NH2, ACOH A
Photochemical smog is formed in part by the action of light on nitrogen dioxide. The wavelength of radiation absorbed by NO2 in this reaction is 197 nm.(a) Draw the Lewis structure of NO2 and sketch its π molecular orbitals.(b) When 1.56 mJ of energy is absorbed by 3.0 L of air at 20 °C and 0.91 atm, all the NO2 molecules in this sample dissociate by the reaction shown. Assume that each absorbed photon leads to the dissociation (into NO and O) of one NO2 molecule. What is the proportion, in parts per million, of NO2 molecules in this sample? Assume that the sample behaves ideally.
Correct each molecule in the drawing area below so that it has the skeletal ("line") structure it would have if it were dissolved in a 0.1 M aqueous solution of HCI. If there are no changes to be made, check the No changes box under the drawing area. No changes. HO Explanation Check NH, 2 W O :□ G ©2025 M unter Accessibility
