Under conditions, a plausible mechanism for the given conversion has to be proposed. Concept Introduction: Benzyne mechanism: A strong base abstract the proton from ortho to the leaving group in aromatic ring, followed by loss of leaving group which forms benzyne intermediate. This benzyne intermediate is highly unstable it undergoes nucleophilic attack and protonation which leads to the formation of the product. Example: Chloro benzene is converted to a phenol in the presence of base by the use of benzyne mechanism. The mechanism of phenol sequence of arrow pushing pattern is given. Enolate formation: For any given transformation, the following mandatory observations have to be made clear to predict the synthetic scheme: Observe whether there is any change in the carbon skeleton. Observe whether there is any change in the location of the functional group . Predict the synthetic scheme in such a way that these two observations have to be achieved within the minimum chemo selective steps.

For a particular hypothetical reaction, A+B →2C, the value of AG° is -125 kJ/mol. What is the value of AG for this reaction at 35°C when [A] = 0.10 M, [B] = 0.05 M, and [C] = 2.0 × 10¹ M?

In an experiment, 74.3 g of metallic copper was heated to 100.0°C and then quickly dropped into 200.0 mL of water in a calorimeter. The heat capacity of the calorimeter with the water was 875 J/°C. The initial temperature of the calorimeter was 27.5°C, and the final temperature after addition of the metal was 29.8°C. What is the value of the molar heat capacity of copper?
