(a)
Interpretation:
Without consulting tables or figures, answer the following questions: a thermal disrotatory electrocyclic reaction involving 12 electrons allowed or forbidden-the statement is to be verified.
Concept introduction:
Electrocyclic reactions are a pericyclic reaction which occur intramolecularly. These reactions will result in the formation of ring compounds under the influence of heat or light. Notably, in this process one new sigma bond is formed and one old π-bond is consumed. Intriguingly, the reverse ring opening electrocyclic reaction can also be possible to occur under the same reaction mechanism but in reverse manner. According to molecular orbital concepts, systems having 4n π electrons undergoes conrotatory ring closure is allowed and this ring closure is forbidden for systems having 4n + 2 π systems. Similarly, disrotatory closing of rings is forbidden for 4n π electrons and allowed for 4n + 2 π electron systems.
(b)
Interpretation:
a [8s + 4s] photochemical cycloaddition is allowed-the statement is to be verified.
Concept introduction:
The reactions in which the formation of cyclic product observed by combining two or more unsaturated molecules is called cyclo addition reaction. Besides, the net reduction of bond multiplicity is observed. Molecules having 4n π electrons is allowed under photochemical conditions and 4n +2 π electrons is allowed under thermal conditions.
(c)
Interpretation:
the HOMO of (Z)-3, 4-dimethyl-1, 3, 5-hexatriene symmetric or antisymmetric-the statement is to be verified.

- You are a Quality Manager for a very well-known food ingredient company that produces umami powder, and you are responsible for setting specification limits. The net weight (in grams) of bags of unami powder is monitored by taking samples of six bags on an hourly basis during production. The label on every bag reports a contents of 1KG umami powder. The process mean is μ = 1012 g, and when the process is properly adjusted, it varies with σ = 11 g. QUESTION: Using all the available information, set the upper and lower specification limits.arrow_forward43) 10.00 ml of vinegar (active ingredient is acetic acid) is titrated to the endpoint using 19.32 ml of 0.250 M sodium hydroxide.
