Because the plane of the C=O bond in an aldehyde is flat, and so the nucleophilic attack of CN^- onto the C can occur above or below the plane of the molecule, producing two different stereoisom...

STEPS:Write the equation CH3CHCH2 + HCl -> CH3CH2CH2Cl + H2 (where 1-chloropropane made by electrophilic addition reaction)Identify number of moles of propene used. So number of moles is m/ Mr= 50.0g ...

Firstly, we have to understand what a buffer is. A buffer is a solution which resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. The key word here is small amounts, as if too much acid or...

Crude oil is a mix of hydrocarbons which have different boiling points. Larger hydrocarbon molecules and/or chains have higher boiling points as they have stronger intermolecular forces. The mixture of hy...

Halogen atoms like chlorine and iodine usually react by gaining an electron to fill their outer energy level in order to resemble the noble gases which are more stable. Chlorine is a smaller atom than iod...
