    Nucleophiles and carbonyl compounds .

    One more question , how come NH^{-}_{2} forms amides with acid derivatives and not with aldehydes . This might help in understanding .

    Nucleophiles and carbonyl compounds .

    ok ... i am getting some of it . Let us take a base like NH^{-}_{2} . This is a very good base . But as far as i know , this does not abstract the hydrogen , but attacks the carbon center to form amides .

    Nucleophiles and carbonyl compounds .

    Homework Statement Why do bases like OH- etc. remove \alpha-H from carbonyl compounds like ketones and aldehydes (aldol condensation) whereas amines and derivatives like NH_{3}attack the carbon centre of carbonyl groups ? Homework Equations none. The Attempt at a Solution Thought...

    Help Needed in Pressure and Kinetic theory of GAses

    and now i am sure that the right air column plays a role because initially when the tube was in horizontal position the pressure of air columns on both sides was P . hence when tilted the volume of the right air column was increased by a small margin . this is wat it looks like :

    Help Needed in Pressure and Kinetic theory of GAses

    see i think since everything is taken in terms of length of mercury column , g and density of mercury are canceled out leaving the ans in cm of mercury . that is why the answer is 75.4 cm of mercury also this is the reason why 5cm is used . p1 and p2 are also just pressure in terms of the...

    Help Needed in Pressure and Kinetic theory of GAses

    well , mass= volume * density; now a =area of cross-section and length of mercury column=5 mass = A * 5 * density . now i am really confused . the answer evidently is even greater than 100 . ans actually is 75.4cm of mercury . ok i was wrong about the A being in the final equation , but still i...

    Help Needed in Pressure and Kinetic theory of GAses

    ok , i get it , so is the eq . something like this; 45.25*A*P = (P+\frac{mgsin60}{A})*A*44.5 but it gives a linear eq . undefined in A and P . wat bout that. the ans is supposed to be 75.4cm.

    but wat about the pressure of air on the other side of the tube , even that causes some pressure on the air column on the left side .

    How Does Acceleration Affect Motion on an Inclined Wedge?

    one more thing if by any chance the acc is greater than g , the block tends to move upwards rather than downwards , because it actually stops when a=g . please feel free to point out errors if i made any in saying this . so as far as i know the answer can be anything but positive . but if u r...

    How Does Acceleration Affect Motion on an Inclined Wedge?

    see when the mass slides down , the diagonal component of it weight is mg sin(\theta) whereas the pseudo force component acting diagonally up is mAcos(\theta). even then if u put a=3g , then the answer is -g\sqrt{2}.

    How Should the Radius Change for Higher Speeds on Banked Circular Ramps?

    i think this is how it should be : the eq for banking is : tan (\theta)= \frac{v^2}{rg} where r is the radius and g is acc due to gravity . tan theta remains constant leaving u with this \frac{13^2}{r} = \frac{26^2}{r'} now r' =4r this should be the answer.

    Homework Statement A thin tube of uniform cross-sectionis sealed at both ends . when it lies horizontally,the middle 5cm length contains mercury and the 2 equal ends contain air at the same pressure P. When the tube is held at an angle 60\circ , then the lengths of the air columns above and...

    Help neede in coordinate geometry! Homework Statement here is the question : If the pairs of lines x^2-2pxy-y^2 and x^2-2qxy-y^2 are such that each pair bisects the angle between the other pair , then pq equals ...??the answer somehow is -1. i think it uses the concept of homogenisation (if u...
