The structural formulas and names of the compounds identified from a reaction sequence are to be predicted. Concept Introduction: Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair. Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair. Free radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has unpaired electrons which makes it highly chemically reactive. Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction. Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction. Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules. Cholesterol is essential for human life. In the human body, it is produced as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of all steroids. In a molecule of cholesterol, there is no internal plane of symmetry, and hence, every carbon atom is different, and each chiral carbon has four different groups. A single unit of cholesterol consists of eight tetrahedral chirality centres. Cholestane is a group of saturated tetracyclic triterpenes. They contain 27 − carbon atom rings. Cholestene is a derivative of cholestane with a double bond. The reaction of alkenes with peroxide acids to form epoxides is called epoxidation reaction. In this reaction, the double bond between C = C is converted to an epoxide. Reactions of steroids are greatly influenced by steric hindrance. Most steroids prefer reaction at β − position, but some reagents attack at α − position if it is sterically favourable (lower steric hindrance).

what temperature does a 50% (mole fraction) of ammonia/water liquid mixture boil at 1 atm

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
