Hello I had a few questions if anyone could help me out. I wanted to convert toluene into benzoic acid via side chain oxidation using potassium permanganate. However, I'm a little unsure of the mechanism. If I'm right, you convert toluene into benzyl alcohol using NaOH, and then from...

This is a pretty basic polarity question but I'm having a hard time deciding. I had to choose the two major products of methylbenzene with HNO3 and H2SO4. I said that the two major products were O-methylnitrobenzene (1-methyl-2-nitrobenzene) and the other 1-methyl-4-nitrobenzene...

I haven't really been listening to much but I like Weezer, U2 just to name a couple.

I use mozilla too. One of the best decisions ever :) However, CWShredder really helps as mentioned earlier.

Hi, I recently had a lab where I had to separate a mixture of benzoic acid and benzil. So, I dissolved the mixture in ch2cl2 and then added NaOH in order to convert the benzoic acid into its sodium salt. At anyrate, this then produced the aqueous and organic layers. However, I noticed that...

Ah I see, thanks for your help!

Hi, these two questions have been boggling me for a week.. if anyone can I help I'd be very appreciative. The first one is.. A cylindrical rod of length 1.5 m and radius 0.02 m is insulated to prevent heat loss through its curved surface. One end is attached to a thermal reservoir at 573...

Unfortunately not.. what I posted in the first message is all that it says. :\

Hm, it does not say :frown:

Hi, I just need help getting started on a question.. I'm not even sure where to begin: It is desired to ignite a gas at 1000 degrees celcius by compressing it adiabatically to 27 degrees celcius. a) by what ratio must its volume be changed? I'm not really sure how to approach this...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi, there's a question in the book that says: "An elevator of height 3 m moves upward at 2m/s. A ball is dropped from the roof. a) when does it hit the floor? b) what is the total distance traveled relative to the ground?" Now, the way I had set it up was that when the ball drops, it falls...

Thank you for your help! Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say that if they don't reach each other, how close do they get? However, I don't think the answer in the book is correct. The book says that they are the closest at 26.6 m, but based on my numerous trials and verifying my...

Oops, Thanks for the help!
