Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the terrorist could build a nuclear bomb from uranium obtained from a nuclear power plant or not is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Critical mass is the minimum amount of fissile material needed for carrying out a sustained nuclear chain reaction. It depends upon the nuclear properties, such as cross-section, density, purity, temperature and surroundings.

show the retrosynthesis of this molecule step by step starting with 1,3-dimethoxy benzene H3CO OH OH OCH 3
Consider the reaction of a propanoate ester with hydroxide ion shown below. A series of four alcohol leaving groups were tested to determine which would be the best leaving group. Based on the pKa values of the alcohols, predict which alcohol would produce the fastest hydrolysis reaction. HO FOR A Alcohol I, pKa =16.0 B Alcohol II, pKa =10.0 C Alcohol III, pKa = 7.2 + ROH D Alcohol IV, pKa = 6.6
