An unknown amine is treated with an excess of methyl iodide. Two equivalents of methyl iodide react with the amine. The anime is treated with silver oxide and water, and then heated to $120^\circ \mathrm{C}$. The resulting products are trimethylamine and ethylene. The unknown amine is

According to molecular orbital theory, two atomic orbitals form two molecular orbitals analogous to waves combining constructively or destructively but how can a wave combine destructively and constructively at the same time to produce two molecular orbitals? why don't two atomic orbitals combine...
classification has 14 questions right now, most of which would either fit neatly under terminology or could just have classification stripped off.
Of the 14, two actually do deal with classification systems of one kind or another:
What do these mineral classification symbols mean?
Is there an ...
Here is my proposed synthetic pathway to make propanoic acid from bromoethane:
$\ce{CH3-CH2Br ->[\ce{KCN(aq)}][\text{heat}] CH3-CH2-C#N}$
$\ce{CH3-CH2-C#N ->[\ce{KOH(aq)}][\text{heat under reflux}] CH3-CH2-COOH + NH3\uparrow}$
I have some questions about my proposed pathway:
Is it...
Alkyl halides react with $\ce{KCN}$ to form alkyl cyanides as the main product, whereas the use of $\ce{AgCN}$ leads to isocyanides as the chief product. Why does this happen?
What is the IUPAC name of each structure:
(This is also applies to ideal gas law related topics, like Boyle's law, Charles's law, Gay-Lussac's law, etc.)
On a recent question about how a bottle of air behaves when the temperature changes, a commenter said:
This isn't a chemistry question ... This is just physics.
While the comment...
By bubbling Cl2 in a solution containing 176.6 g of MgBr2...
Hi guys, I need help with this question please.
my thought was like this..
176.6g/184.13=0.9591 moles of MgBr2
and also of Br2 cuz its the same ratio so
0.9591X159.82=153.28 gr of br2
now the yield: 135/153.28=0.88 percent.
in my lo...
This was a question that was asked to me in my recent test.
I said that entropy will decrease as a hard boiled egg has molecules in more organised way than a un-boiled egg, but I was marked wrong with a remark that entropy will increase because the protein and other molecules are decomposed due...
I had the following question on a bio test covering cell respiration and glycolysis, but I'm not sure if I agree with the answer.
When a molecule loses hydrogen atoms (as opposed to hydrogen ions), it becomes
B) oxidised
According to my textbook (Principles of Life, 2nd Edition), oxidati...
Non metallic character increases along a period and decreases down a group. Therefore the most non metallic elements should be the right-most. But the right-most elements are noble gases. Do they count?
