Abstract:
Manganese-tin bimetallic oxide (MnSnO3) is synthesized by the solvothermal approach using manganese acetate and stannic chloride as precursors and urea as a precipitating agent in an aqueous medium. The crystallinity, purity and lattice parameters of the product are analysed by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The morphology of the product is analysed with the help of a scanning electron microscopy. The synthesized product is used as a fuel additive and catalyst. Synthesized MnSnO3 is used as a catalyst for the degradation of an organic dye Congo red in the aqueous medium. Catalytic degradation is monitored at different concentrations of the catalyst and hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the role of MnSnO3, as an additive in diesel fuel, is studied. The efficiency of the modified fuel is analysed by studying the different parameters such as flash point, fire point, cloud point, pour point, calorific values and specific gravity. The values of these parameters change significantly by changing the dosage of the additive.

Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are...

Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
