In previous syntheses involving equilibria (like the Fischer esterification), one reactant was used as a solvent to achieve maximum conversion of the other to product. In the case of our crossed aldol condensation, using acetone as the solvent is not expected to achieve the desired goal. Explain why this is so by hand-drawing the major product which may form from this week’s synthesis when a large excess of acetone is mixed with the other reagents at the start of the reaction.

In a laboratory experiment, a fermenting aqueous solution of glucose and yeast produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. the solution was heated by burning natural gas in a bunsen burner to distill the ethanol that formed in the flask. during the distillation, the ethanol evaporated and then condensed in the receiving flask. the flame of the burner was kept too close to the bottom of the flask and some of the glucose decomposed into a black carbon deposit on the inside of the flask. during this experiment the following changes occurred. which of these changes involved a physical change and not a chemical change? check all that apply. 1-condensation of ethanol 2-evaporation of ethanol 3- formation of carbon dioxide gas from glucose burning of natural gas 4-formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast 5-formation of a carbon deposit inside the flask

Diffraction is when light is bent around obstructions. which of the these observation about clouds would indicate diffraction? a) after rain storms, you can sometimes see rainbows. b) clouds are white or gray and cannot be seen through. c) on a cloudy day, the temperature tends to be cooler than a sunny day. d) the edges of dark clouds appear lighter. this

If 15 drops of ethanol from a medical dropper weight 0.60g, how many drops does it takes from a dropper to dispense 1.0ml of ethanol? the density of ethanol is 0.80g/ml
