An electron is traveling at a velocity of 500m/s perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A force of magnitude 4.32 x10^(-16) N is acting on the electron, what is the magnetic flux density of the field?

F=BQv so B=F/Qv (Q is the charge of an electron, 1.6 x10^-19C) so B=4.32 x10^-16 / (1.6 x10^-19 x 500) = 5.4 T

What product would you expect to obtain when reacting ethanal (or acetaldehyde) with potassium cyanide (KCN) in dilute acid? Draw a curly arrow mechanism for this transformation, and determine whether you obtain one enantiomer or a racemic mixture.

The product obtained is a cyanohydrin, with the formula CH3CH(OH)(CN) where the cyanide anion has acted as a nucleophile towards the aldehyde. The mechanism would first show the lone pair on the carbonyl ...
