An unknown hydrocarbon a with the formula c7h14 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of h2 over a palladium catalyst to give hydrocarbon b. hydrocarbon a also reacts with oso4 to give diol c. treatment of diol c with periodic acid gives ketone d and aldehyde e. when oxidized with kmno4 in acidic solution, a gives two fragments. one fragment is propionic acid, ch3ch2co2h, and the other fragment is ketone d. draw the structure of compound d.

D is 2-butanone.

Explanation:

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

a polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly between atoms
