Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation corresponding to the fact that the complex of the crown ether [18]-crown-6 with potassium ion shows larger dissociation constant in water than in ether is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The crown ether [18]-crown-6 consists of a cyclic ring of eighteen membered with six ester linkage.

Dissociation constant is defined as the quantity that shows the extent of dissociation of a specific substance into ions in solution. It is expressed as the product of the concentrations of the respective ions that is divided by the concentration of the molecule which remain undissociated.

• 1. The HCo(CO)4 complex can catalyze the isomerization of pure cis-2-butene to a mixture of cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, and 1-butene. Propose a mechanism. Carefully show the process using wedges and dashes to indicate stereochemistry of each intermediate.
a sample was dissolved in water resulting in a clear colorless solution.  Addition of HNO3 and AgNO3resulted in a wispy white ppt.  Upon treatment with ammonia the white solid dissolved and when HNO3 was added the white solid reappeared. A new sample was prepared.  To this sample HCl and cyclohexane were added.   NaOCl was added and the sample was mixed.  After waiting a few minutes, the sample was clear and colorless.  A) HCl and BaCl2 were added resulting in a clear colorless solution. B) HNO3 and (NH4)2MoO4 were added resulting in a clear colorless solution. C) Acetic acid and Fe(NO3)3 were added resulting in a clear colorless solution. d) once a larger sample was prepared and sulfuric acid was added a noticeable vinegar odor was detected. what is the name of the unknown solution?
