Homework Statement 1) What other nitration products in a electrophilic nitration of benzoic acid would be formed if each reaction were carried out at a higher temperature? 2) The nitration of hydroquinone leads to a low yield of nitrohydroquinone. Propose the structure of the major product...

Thank you for the explanations :) That really helps!

Are there any differences between the terms Miscible and Soluble? I am kind of confuse between these two terms. Are they interchangeable? Thank you!

[Chemistry Lab] Cannnizzaro Reaction Hi! I am having some questions about my chemistry lab. In the lab we are given 1 of the 5 unknown aldehyde (benzaldehyde, anisaldehyde, nitrobenzaldehyde, chlorobenzaldehyde, and dimethoxybenzaldehyde) and reacts it with methanol and KOH to undergo...

Homework Statement Calculate the potential of a Pt electrode immersed in a solution that is 0.0263M in K2PtCl4 and 0.1492M in KCl. The answer given in 0.78 Homework Equations E = Eo - 0.05912/2 * log Q (Nernst Equation) The Attempt at a Solution We try looking at the reduction of PtCl4...

Can somebody explain how do you write a Mass Balance or Charge balance for a acid-base equilibrium? Let say, if you are given 0.01M Zn(OH)2 in a saturated NaOH solution and also given that Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- -> Zn(OH)4(2-) how would you solve the mass balance/charge balance? I really have no idea...

so in this case, k is 1.1×10^16? cause when i try the quadratic on the internet quadratic solver, it says the answer is an imagary number...

but since the k is such large number, [Ce4+] is going to be large too right?

1. Homework Statement Given the following half-reactions: Ce4+ + e− → Ce3+ E° = 1.72 V Fe3+ + e− → Fe2+ E° = 0.771 V A solution is prepared by mixing 7.0 mL of 0.30 M Fe2+ with 8.0 mL of 0.12 M Ce4+. Calculate [Ce4+] in the solution. I've got the potential of a platinum electrode...

What is the different between spontaneous reduction and spontaneous oxidation? For spontaneous reduction you need to have Ecell to be (+), then what about spontaneous oxidation? Thanks.

I am doing a research on Diels Alder, and I just want to know what are some of the history and applications of Diels Alder? Thank you.

what about the ratio of phenol and phenoate? is that mean the ratio of concentration?

please help! questions on pKa of Phenol Hi, I have some questions regarding the pKa of Phenol lab that I am working on right now. 1) What would cause the absorbance curves to not go through the isosbestic point? For this one, I know that isosbestic point is not pH dependent so pH won't...

Homework Statement For solution A the concentration is 7.00x10^-4 mol/L. You transfer 10ml of the solution A out into a 10 dram vial and add 10mL of 0.1M HCL acid solution, and the new mixture is called solution B. What is the concentration of solution B? Homework Equations The Attempt...

nevermind , i got it
