The ketone group is planar and the cyanide ion has equal chance of attacking above or below the plane. Therefore a racemic mixture of the product is formed and the product shows no optical activity

C6H6 + CH3C(O)Cl = C6H5C(O)CH3 + HCl

This is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, with the product being a ketone. The AlCl3 serves as a catalyst, converting the acyl chlo...

Formula of Iron 3 Nitrate is Fe(NO3)3. Moles = mass/Mr.

Already given mass = 2.16g

Want to work out amount in moles.

Need to calculate Mr of Iron 3 nitrate, put into equation with mas...

A redox reaction is a reaction where both reduction and oxidation are happening simultaneously.

Reduction is the gain of electrons, where as oxidation is the grian of elctrons. I like to remember t...

64.9/12 = 5.40833

21.6/16 = 1.35

5.40833/1.35 = 4 so 4 Carbons

13.5/1.35 = 10 so 10 Hydrogens

1.35/1.35 = 1 so 1 Oxygen

4x12+10+16 = 74 so emperical formula = Molecular ...
