Reactions of Ethyl-3-pentenoate with all given reagents are given below.

Reaction with H₂ / Pd:
The non-polar double bond present in Ethyl-3-pentenoate is reduced to saturated chain. This reagent can not reduce the carbonyl group.

Reaction with NaBH₄:
Sodium Borohydride is a weak reducing agent at compared to LiAlH₄. It can only reduce aldehydes and Ketones to corresponding alcohols.

Reaction with LiAlH₄:
Lithium Aluminium hydride is a strong reducing agent. It can reduce all types of carbonyl compounds to corresponding alcohols, But, it can not reduce non-polar double bonds like alkenes and alkynes.

Result:
The correct answer is Option-A (Highlighted RED below).

Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.941 amu. Lithium has two common isotopes. The one isotope has a mass of 6.015 amu and a relative

koban [17]

Answer:

The atomic mass of second isotope is 7.016

Explanation:

Given data:

Average Atomic mass of lithium = 6.941 amu

Atomic mass of first isotope = 6.015 amu

Relative abundance of first isotope = 7.49%

Abundance of second isotope = ?

Atomic mass of other isotope = ?

Solution:

Total abundance = 100%

100 - 7.49 = 92.51%

percentage abundance of second isotope = 92.51%

Now we will calculate the mass if second isotope.

Average atomic mass of lithium = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

6.941 = (6.015×7.49)+(x×92.51) /100

6.941 = 45.05235 + (x92.51) / 100

6.941×100 = 45.05235 + (x92.51)

694.1 - 45.05235 = (x92.51)

649.04765 = x 92.51

x = 485.583 /92.51

x = 7.016

The atomic mass of second isotope is 7.016

Select the true statements about denaturation.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct options are: Denaturation of an enzyme will cause a loss of its catalytic activity.

Egg white meringue contains denatured egg white proteins.

A denatured protein has a different tertiary structure than its native state.

Protein denaturation involves cleavage of its peptide bonds.

Explanation:

Protein denaturation is the breakdown of tertiary or quaternary junctions of proteins, which are the easiest to break compared to primary and secondary.

Denaturation can arise due to a change in pH or due to excess temperature. An enzyme is generally a protein and if it is subjected to acidic acids or high temperatures, it denatures, ceasing to perform its function.

Zymogen is a non-denatured INACTIVE proenzyme, that is why we consider that option false along with those that were not selected.

0.45 g of hydrated sodium carbonate crystals were heated until 3.87 of anhydrous power remained.

snow_tiger [21]

Formula of hydrated sodium carbonate : Na₂CO₃.10H₂O, so moles of water in one mole of hydrated salt = 10

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Hydrate is a compound that binds water (H₂O), usually in the form of crystals/ solids

If these compounds are dissolved in water or heated, the hydrates can decompose:

Example: X.YH₂O (s) → X (aq) + YH₂O (l)

The formula for the hydrated compound contains: YH2O

The mole ratio shows the ratio of the coefficients of the hydrate compound

10.45 hydrated sodium carbonate(Na₂CO₃.xH₂O) were heated until 3.87 of 3.87of anhydrous (Na₂CO₃) remained, so

mass H₂O released :

$\tt 10.45-3.87=6.58~g$

mass Na₂CO₃ = 3.87 g

mol ratio Na₂CO₃(MW= g/mol) : H₂O(MW=18 g/mol) =

$\tt \dfrac{3.87}{105,9888}\div \dfrac{6.58}{18}=0.0365\div 0.3655=1\div 10$

A sample of an unknown compound with a mass of 0.847 g has the following composition: 50.51 % fluorine and 49.49 % iron. When th

sergejj [24]

Answer: 0,4278g of F and 0,4191g of Fe

Explanation: it's possible to calculate the mass of each element by multiplying the percentage (decimal) of the element by the mass of the compound.

For Fluorine (F)

0,847g * 0,5051 = 0,4278g of F

For iron (Fe)

0,847 * 0,4949 = 0,4191g of Fe

This is determined because even when the compound is decomposed, due to conservative law of mass, the decomposition process do not affect the amount of matter, so the mass of the elements remain even if they are separated from the original molecule.

At the end, the sum of the elements masses should be the total mass of the compound.
