When ethyl acetoacetate (ch3coch2co2ch2ch3) is treated with one equivalent of ch3mgbr, a gas is evolved from the reaction mixture, and after adding aqueous acid, ethyl acetoacetate is recovered in high yield. identify the gas formed and explain why the starting material was recovered in this reaction. be sure to answer all parts?

you should just be yourself and not let any body tell you other wise.

explanation:

why?

because if they don't love you for your self then they don't deserve you.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
