Yeah, that's the whole thing. This is for a student I'm helping, so I didn't have access to the text while we were working, but there was absolutely no context in the questions around it. Not a clue here.
Homework Statement
Consider two sound sources S1 with a frequency of
f1 = 3367 Hz
and S2 with a frequency of
f2 = 3362 Hz.
Determine the smallest difference in frequency from 3367 Hz that the average person can detect?

i'm having trouble finding good references for lithiating a terminal alkyne and reacting that acetylide with a tosylate, and my goto procedure didn't work. can anyone give me a hand?
procedure i did try:
alkyne in THF at -78
1.0 eq nBuLi added
1.0 eq tosylated phenylethanol added (color...
lol every current cable news station is controlled by conservative corporate owners. there is no fairness doctrine. clear channel controls over 11% of the radio market and viacom controls over 35% of the tv market.
what liberal media?
you'll probably get a migration of the double bond to the lowest bond and then migration of a lone pair from oxygen to form a double bond and make an oxonium ion
yep, you've got the right idea. you'd get side reactions with the maleic acid and ethanol to form esters.
xylenes on the other hand, are virtually useless and won't react except under extreme conditions with things like acid chlorides and alkyl chlorides in friedel-crafts reactions. other...

now imagine if you could surf on a ray of light. what would things look like? from the light's point of view, is everything perfectly still because time is moving at an infinitely small rate (or maybe even zero)? we might interpret light to take 8...
for the most part, if you have a compound in an rbf with a bunch of like NaOH, you'll have an organic layer and an aqueous layer, so things separate naturally...
not really sure what your question is though... can you rephrase?
one other thing to note in this problem is that we're not really doing a mass balance, but a volumetric flow balance. you can ONLY do volumetric flow balances when your density is constant, otherwise you must convert each stream into a mass flow rate!
well yeah, that's the point, that when you divide the molecular weight by the empirical weight, you get an integer. the problem is the molecular weight given doesn't match any of the species listed.
someone's probably just an idiot and screwed something up along the way. mass specs are pretty accurate in giving molecular ions for species this small
