Answer:

It doesn't matter which chloride

Explanation:

Because Carboxylic acids reacts with any of these inorganic chlorides such as PCl3, PCl5 and SOCl2 to form acid chloride as the major product, then the acid chloride further reacts to form acid anhydride

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Carboxylic acids undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions where the nucleophile (-OH) is substituted by another nucleophile.

In cases such as the reaction with inorganic chlorides, which are strong electrophiles, the partially negatively charged carbonyl oxygen (δ-) can act as a nucleophile and attack the electrophile.

So, the inorganic chlorides that Carboxylic acids react with are the ones with electrophilic centres. The ones with centres that have space to expand and accept electrons new pair of electrons.

Such inorganic chloride include SOCl₂, PCl₃ and PCl₅.

Hope this Helps!!!

Predict the geometry about each interior atom in acetic acid:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The atomic structure of the acetic acid is:

                        H     O

                        l       l

                H – C – C – O – H

                        l

                        H

 

We can see from the structure that there are 2 interior atoms, and these are all Carbon atoms.


The geometry is:

Tetrahedral on First Carbon

Trigonal Planar on Second Carbon

The human body produces motion by changing chemical energy into mechanical energy. What happens to the energy
Fantom [35]

Answer:

When you eat food, your body can use the chemical energy in the food to make your muscles move so you can breathe, walk, run, jump, lift things, and do all the other things you need to do to live. The chemical energy in the food gets changed into the mechanical energy of moving muscles.
