Hey for anyone who already took the sample test, could you please explain C/P #39 and #56 please?
#38 - says mevalonic acid (on the right of the equation) will equilibrate with another structure
can someone explain why mevalonic acid will form a six membered ring with only three oxygens rather than the 4 ester ring with all 4 oxygens? How does the alcohol attack to get rid of one of the O's. And if it does, how can it be in equilibrium with mevalonic acid?
#56 - this is just a math problem but 30 W in 3 mins, calculate work. P =W/t, so W = Pt = 30*3*60 = 540J. Answer says 5400J. Did I miss something or is this a mistake?
Thanks everyone!!!
