There are many selective reducing agents that are also not normally covered in a lecture course. One of these is sodium triacetoxyborohydride, NaBH(OAc)3. Shown below is a structure with both aldehyde and ketone functional groups. NaBH(OAc)3 will selectively reduce one of these two functional groups. Using the infrared spectrum provided below as evidence.

The next ten questions do not correspond to the reaction above. They are independent of each other.

Consider the following mechanism for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution. H+     +     H2O2        ⇌   H2O+−OH (rapid equilibrium) H2O+−OH   +   Br–    → HOBr   +   H2O (slow)                    HOBr   +   H+   +   Br–  → Br2   +   H2O (fast) Which of the following rate laws is consistent with the mechanism?

CHCl2CH2COOH has a higher Ka than CH3CCl2COOH
