Question
Chapter 19.SE, Problem 74AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The stereochemistry of the chiral product obtained when 2-butanone reacts with HCN is to be given. Whether the product is optically active or not is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A molecule is chiral and optically active if it has a carbon attached to four different groups. When a planar achiral molecule becomes chiral during the course of a reaction, enantiomers will be produced. This is because the reagent can attack the planar compound both from above and below the plane of the molecule.
To show:
The stereochemistry of the chiral product obtained when 2-butanone reacts with HCN and to state whether the product is optically active or not.

Challenging samples: 1. Metal complexes with low volatility are often difficult to analyze when performing atomic absorption measurements because the atomization efficiency is reduced to unacceptably low levels. Devise a strategy or strategies for eliminating the problem of a non-volatile metal complex? Explain how you would do that.
2. Devise a strategy to overcome unwanted ionization of the analyte? Explain what it would be.
3. Devise a general method that can be used to account for the presence of unknown matrix effects.
