Mustard gas, used in chemical warfare in World War I, has been found to be an effective agent in the chemotherapy of Hodgkin's disease. It can be produced according to the following reaction: SCL2(g)+2C2H4(g)<-->S(CH2CH2Cl)2(g). An evacuated 5.0L flask at 20.0C is filled with 0.258 mol SCl2 and 0.592 mol C2H4. After equilibrium is established, 0.0349 mol of mustard gas is present. 1. What is the partial pressure of each gas at equilibrium? 2. What is K at 20C?

Post-lab Question #1: While both NaBH4 and LiAlH4 can both be used toreduce ketones and aldehydes, the procedure that you followed in lab wouldnot result in the fluorenol product if NaBH4 were simply replaced with LiAlH4. a) Explain why. b) What change to the procedure would have to be made to use LiAlH4 tosuccessfully reduce fluorenone to fluorenol?

Post-lab Question #2: NaBH4 is not capable of reducing esters since estersare less reactive than ketones. Explain structurally why this is the case.

Post-lab Question #3: In lab, NaBH4 was kept in a dessicator to avoidprolonged contact with water in the atmosphere. This is done since waterwill react with NaBH4. Write the balanced equation for the decomposition of NaBH4 by water.

Post-lab Question #4: It is found that a bottle of NaBH4 in a lab contains 70% NaBH4 by mass as a significant portion has reacted with atmosphericwater as described in question 3 above. What is the minimum that astudent should weigh out to fully reduce 3.18 g of fluorenone?

A protonated histidine residue in the active site of aspartate transcarbamoylase, ATCase, is thought to be important in stabilizing the transition state of the bound substrate.

A) Sketch a graph showing the pH dependence of the catalytic rate, assuming that this interaction is essential and dominates the pH-activity profile of the enzyme. Provide the biochemical basis for your graph.

B) The ATCase mechanism is known to proceed via an ordered mechanism. Draw a Cleland notation diagram showing how this reaction proceeds. Abbreviate the second substrate as CP. Two products are formed.  

Thank you!
