When radioactive thorium (Th) decays it emits a beta particle and produces protactinium (Pa) as seen in the nuclear equation. The atomic mass of thorium missing in the nuclear equation must be A) 233. B) 234. C) 235. D) 238.

Benzonitrile (c6h5cn) is reduced to two different products depending on the reducing agent used. treatment with lithium aluminum hydride followed by water forms k, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 107 and the following ir absorptions: 3373, 3290, 3062, 2920, and 1600 cm-1. treatment with a milder reducing agent forms l, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 106 and the following ir absorptions: 3086, 2850, 2820, 2736, 1703, and 1600 cm-1. l shows fragments in its mass spectrum at m/z = 105 and 77. propose structures for k and l and choose an explanation for how this could be concluded.
