gBe sure to answer all parts. Nicotine can be made when the following ammonium salt is treated with Na2CO3. Determine a stepwise mechanism for this reaction. h5sm775 nicotine Part 1 out of 3 Choose the first step of the mechanism: h5sm775003 h5sm775002

Kindly check the attached pictures.

Explanation:

For the reaction between ammonium salt and Na2CO3, in the reaction mechanism, there are going to be four steps for the production of nicotine. The chemical species to monitor here are the Na2CO3 and the starting material which has the amine group attached to it.

STEP ONE: Dissociation of the Na2CO3.

Na2CO3 <=========> 2Na^+ + CO3^2-

STEP TWO: (will be shown in the attached picture). It is the abstraction of H^+ from the amine in the starting material.

STEP THREE: (will be shown in the attached picture). It is the formation of a cyclic compound due to nucleophilic reaction.

STEP FOUR: (will be shown in the attached picture). It involve the the deprotonation and this is the final phase.

according to the u.s. department of agriculture, the label of "certified organic" comes with a set of highly regulated standards for environmental stewardship and resource conservation. some of these include maintenance and improvement of soil quality, prevention of ground and surface water contamination, greenhouse gas regulation, encouragement of biodiversity and conservation of water and energy (see references 1). organic practices integrate natural methods such as mulching, plant diversity, native and adapted plants, crop rotation and the introduction of beneficial insects to control pests without synthetic pesticides.

environmental implications of pesticides

synthetic pesticides ensure high crop yields. while effective in achieving this goal, pesticides contaminate soil, air, ground and surface water, as well as the plants and animals that come into contact with these contaminated sources. freshwater and marine organisms are particularly susceptible to pesticides through agricultural runoff. pesticides also reduce soil fertility (necessitating the use of synthetic fertilizers) and can travel far from the original source, contaminating water and air hundreds of miles from the location of application (see references 2).

health implications of organics

although a subject of particular debate, many recent findings show that organic food is healthier than conventionally grown food. according to the usda, an extensive european union-funded study found that organically grown foods contain more beneficial compounds, such as the vitamins and antioxidants needed to combat many diseases (see references 5). organic milk, meat and eggs are regulated to ensure they are free of hormones administered to conventional livestock and poultry.

health implications of pesticides

pesticides affect human health in three ways: through skin contact, inhalation and ingestion. acute and long-term exposure to pesticides can cause serious health problems for farmers who apply them. the majority of other people are affected by drinking contaminated water and eating contaminated marine life (see references 3). pesticides have been linked to neurological disorders, endocrine and reproductive disorders, immune system deficiencies and cancer. according to the world health organization, acute pesticide poisoning (app) is responsible for significant annual mortality, especially in developing nations (see references 4).

other important considerations

not every small farm or business owner can afford the costly certification process required to be considered "certified organic," even if the farm is not using chemicals. "transitional" farms include those that once used chemicals and are now transitioning to organic-only production. in addition, though organic farming methods offer obvious environmental benefit, an organic apple shipped from around the world creates a different set of environmental problems. locally grown food (particularly locally grown, organic food) is key in sustainable food production.
