Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A curved arrow mechanism for the reduction of mevaldehyde shown on page number 1294 (Equation 25.9b) is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The hydride donor, NADH or NADPH, activates the carbonyl group of the amino acid by protonating the carbonyl carbon. This reduces the mevaldehyde to mevalonate by cleavage of the bond between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms.

What is the pH of a 1.0 L buffer made with 0.300 mol of HF (Ka = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴) and 0.200 mol of NaF to which 0.160 mol of NaOH were added?
Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. NaN₃
