No, this isn't a homework question... Would it be feasible to use a tertiary haloalkane with sodium ethoxide, then use the ethanol formed from the deprotonation of the haloalkane in the E1 reaction for the synthesis of aldehydes or keytones? Just thinking it could be an alternative way...

Homework Statement Potassium benzoate C6H5CO2K can be prepared from benzyl alcohol, C6H5CH2OH, and potassium permanganate KMnO4 in aqueous KOH. The manganese is converted to MnO2 The Attempt at a Solution So, my attempt to balance has left me scratching my head C6H5CH2OH + KMnO4...

It's wrong because i was being lazy and used the calc on the computer... Anyway answer is 93.65

Calculate the average force F acting on car Homework Statement A car does the work Wcar=5.9x105 J in traveling a distance x=6.3 km (6300 m) at constant speed. Calculate the average force F (from all sources) acting on the car in this process. Homework Equations Work = Force x...

What we say we know about an atom doesn't tell us anything about what an atom is, it only defines how our consciousness defines "reality."

Yeah but since it lands as the same horizontal as its launch the velocities are the same. Trying to rearrange the equations creates a situation where Since Vi = (25 cos (40)i, 25 sin (40)j) m/s Vf = ((25 cos (40)i, -25 sin (40)j) m/s Anyway i rearrange the KEs to solve to t or r...

Homework Statement Vi=25.0 m/s \Theta=40.0 above the x-axis You throw a ball at 40 degrees above the horizon at an initial velocity of 25 m/s The ball lands at the same height as which it was launched. Is it possible to find the distance traveled (either vertical or horizontal) or...

What is determined from the use of instruments is true relative only to the instrument you're using and to where that instrument is located in space-time. Thus there is no real vantage point from which real reality can be seen. I.e. an atom So the act of measuring the atom defines not what...
