Chapter 19, Problem 19.69AP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The synthesis of isotopically labelled alcohol using ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Elements which have the same atomic number but different atomic mass are known as isotopes. Due to the difference in the mass numbers, their natural abundance also differs. The chemical properties of isotopes are similar.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The synthesis of the isotopically labelled alcohol using ${\text{LiAlD}}_{\text{4}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Elements which have the same atomic number but different atomic mass are known as isotopes. Due to the difference in the mass numbers, their natural abundance also differs. The chemical properties of isotopes are similar.
