A mineral(X) concentratedby froth floatation process was roasted in a reverberatory furance go give two compojnd (A) and (B) whichwere later partially oxidizes, B was more easily oxidised than A) to give compounds (C ) and (D) respectively. The roasted ore was mixed with silica and some powdered coke and later smalted when two layers of moltenmass was obtained-the upper layer was that of salg (E) while the lower layer is called matte (F). The molten mattel was then transferred to a bessemer converter and a blastof hot air and sand waspassed through it when the metal (Y) was obtained.Identify the mineral (X), the meta (Y) and the compounds (A-F) |

Answer» Solution :Suppose the weight of the mineral is 100g. Then weight of MGO= 31.88g weight of `SO_(4)=` 63.37g, weight of `H_(2)O`=4.75g. Moles of Mg in MgO= `1 XX` moles of MgO `=(31.88)/(40)=0.797` Moles of Si in `SiO_(2)=1 xx` moles of `SiO_(2)` `=(63.37)/(60)=1.0561` Moles of H in `H_(2)O=2 xx` moles of `H_(2)O` `=(2xx4.75)/(18)= 0.5278` moles of O = moles of O in MgO+ moles of O in `SiO_(2)` + moles of O in `H_(2)O` `=1 xx` moles of MgO +2 `xx` moles of `SiO_(2)+1 xx` moles of `H_(2)O` `=(31.88)/(40) + (2 xx 63.37)/(60)+ (4.75)/(18)=3.172` Moles of O= 3.172 Now, by inspection, we have moles of H= 0.5278 `=0.2639 xx 2` moles of Mg= 0.797 `~~0.2639 xx 3` moles of Si=1.0561 `~~0.2639 xx 4` moles of O=3.172 `~~0.2639 xx 12` `therefore H: Mg: Si: O= 2: 3: 4: 12` The FORMULA is `H_(2)Mg_(3)Si_(4)O_(12)` |

A methyl glucoside can be converted to the _______ anhydride in the presence of pyridine. Identify the produce formed. |
|
Answer» tetramethyl This reaction is just a multiple williamson synthesis. The hydroxyl groups of monosaccharides are more acidic than those of ordinary alcohols because the monosaccharides contains so many electronegative oxygen atoms, all of which exert electron-withdrawing inductive effects no nearby hydroxyl groups. In aqueous `NaOH`, the hydroxyl groups are CONVERTED to alkoxide ions, and each of these, in TURN reacts with dimethyl sulphate in an `S_(N)^(2)` reaction to yield a methyl ether. The process called exhaustive methylation. The methoxy groups at `C_(2), C_(3), C_(4)` and `C_(6)` of the pentmethyl derivative are ordinary ether groups. Consequently, these groups are stable in dilute aqueous acid (remember, to cleave ethers requires HEATING with come. `HBr` or `HI`). However, the methoxy group at `C1` is different from others because it is a part of an acetal linkage (it is GLYCOSIDIC). Therefore, treating the pentamethyl derivative with dilute aqueous acid causes hydrolysis of this glycosidic methoxy group and produces 2,3,4,6- teta `O`-methyl - `D-` glucose (The `O` in this name means that methyl groups are bonded to oxygen atoms). |
