Hydroxylamine reacts with 2,4-pentanedione to yield 3,5-dimethylisoxazole. including protonations and deprotonations, the reaction takes 12 steps. write out the mechanism on a sheet of paper and then draw the structure of the product of step 8.

Pegmatites are igneous rocks in which the individual minerals are very large. typically, the minerals are all light-colored quartz, feldspar and muscovite. if you were given a black and white photograph of a pegmatite in a quarry (where the rock has been blasted and broken), what physical properties could you use to identify those three minerals in this hypothetical photo? describe each mineral and the specific diagnostic properties. be specific.
