I have an air molecule moving because of a sound wave. f of sound wave = 500 Hz wavelength of sound wave = 0.68 m How fast is the air molecule moving in its equilibrium position? Is it in equilibrium at V max? Would this be where the position = 0?

I need to figure out how to synthesize 3-methyl-3-hexanol from acetylene. So, there is a methyl and an OH on the third carbon. I am learning all the different reactions, but I am having a hard time figuring out where the triple bond is and how to do it with the methyl group on there. Is there...

I am wondering if I can separate these two compounds: Y: M.P.=170 degrees C - Vapor pressure at its MP = 0.05 torr Z: M.P.=170 degrees C - Vapor pressure at its MP = 540 torr I think having a huge difference in vapor pressures is good. I am kind of confused about this process.

I am wondering if this would work: I need to sublimate compound 1 (mp 175-177 C) from compound 2 (206-208 C) at 120 C at atmospheric pressure. Crystals are found and the solids melting point is 150-160 C. Could anyone help me? I am not completely clear.

What would be the product if I carried out a bromination of an alkene using isopropanol as the solvent?

I am asked for the "actual products" of reacting Br(2) with: trans-1,2-diphenylethene and cis-1,2-diphenylethene I know their structures. And I know that each Br will attach to each side of the double bond. Are there three products for each? ...with the products being isomers?

Okay. Thanks for your help!

It's not just one product? Is the product then a 5-membered ring with a methyl and Br on 1 and the other methyl on 3? We are not doing stereochem yet with these. Wouldn't the most stable and therefore major product be what I came up with?

Would the carbocation need to be on a C other than the C's that make up the ring? It would need to be on the methyl? Could do a hydride shift to achieve this. But that isn't favorable because you would be shifting from a tertiary to a primary. Am I correct? So no ring expansion?

The carbocation is most stable when it is on a tertiary carbon, so if possible, it will shift to be more stable. So the H would go on the secondary carbon, and the tertiary carbon is the carbocation. So, the Br would be on the same C as the methyl. I think this is correct, but what about a...

Sorry about the naming. I am just starting organic chemistry. I will try to explain the structure... A 5-membered ring with one double bond and two methyl groups off of it. Say the double bond is between 1 and 2. Number around the ring clockwise 1-5. One methyl is on 1, and the other methyl is...

I need to react 1,3-methylcyclopentene with H-Br. Do I do a ring expansion here? What I came up with is 1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane. Am I completely off? Is there just one major product? I would appreciate the help!

I built a cell with one side containing the solution 0.10 M CuSO4 with Cu(s) in it. The other side has 1 M NH3 and 0.05 M ZnSO4 with Zn(s) in it. The measured cell potential was 1.31. I am using the Nernst equation. I need to find the concentration of Zn^2+. E=E"-(0.059/2)logQ 1.31 =...

"Total concentration of copper" in this solution I prepared.

It is a total of 50 ml. Water is added to the solution until it is 50 ml. 0.080 M Cu(NO3)2 = 0.00016 moles in 2 ml
