Thorium-234 undergoes beta decay to form a daughter nuclide and a beta particle. what are the mass number and atomic number for the daughter nuclide?

Why are the trends and exceptions to the trends in ionization energy observed?

For the following dehydrohalogenation (e2) reaction, draw the zaitsev product(s) resulting from elimination involving c3–c4 (i.e., the carbon atoms depicted with stereobonds). show the product stereochemistry clearly. if there is more than one organic product, both products may be drawn in the same box. ignore elimination involving c3 or c4 and any carbon atom other than c4 or c3.

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?
