Why do ketones not yield to a silver mirror?
2. Why is HNO3 (nitric acid)
suitable for removing the silver mirror? Write a chemical
equation to support your answer.
9. How is His able to act as both a general base and general
acid catalyst at the same pH? b) How is Ser able to act as a
nucleophile? c) How is the transition-state stabilized by
chymotrypsin?
10. Explain why chymotrypsin would become inactive at a: a) low
temperature. b) high temperature. c) pH = 4.0.
Why are aldehydes usually more reactive than ketones? Why are
ketones more reactive than esters, and ester more reactive than
amides? Please help explain with the help of steric, indcutive and
resonance effects. Show an example for each class of compounds
please. Thank you!

Explain why base is needed in an acid base extraction to separate
the components of a mixture? Why is acid often added at the end to
obtain the final product?
2. Why does foaming occur when acid is added to a bicarbonate
extraction? Explain with chemical equations
1. The conjugate base of a stong acid has no effect on the pH.
Why or why not? Include a comment on the conjugate acid of a
base.
2. Given the discussion of question one above, then if I were to
dissolve the following salt, KNO3, in water, what would
the resulting pH be and why?
In the following acid–base reaction, classify each substance as
the stronger acid, weaker acid, stronger base, or weaker base. HCN
+HCO3- ---> <--- CN- + H2CO3. Which direction does
equilibrium favor? a) to the left b) both directions c) to the
right
A. Complete the following Bronsted-Lowry acid-base equation. HNO2 is the acid.
B. Identify the acid, base, conjugate acid, conjugate base and conjugate acid-base pairs in the following equation.
