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...

Orbital hybridisation is a model used to explain covalent bonding in molecules. It involves the merging of orbitals that are on the same energy level to form new hybrid orbitals.

Orbital hybridisat...

The formula mass (Mr) of FeSO4 is the total mass of all the individual elemenets added together. So the Mr of FeSO4 = (1 x Fe) + (1 x S) + (4 x O) = 56 + 32 + 4x16 = 152 To calculate moles, the equation f...

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...
