What experimental observations indicate a chemical change is taking place?

6 0

A chemical change is characterized of the formation of new substances or a chemical reaction. There are a number of observations that we can see if this type of change happens. One would be the formation of gas bubbles, this indicates that one of the products is a gas. Another observation would be a formation of a precipitate in the solution, it would indicate that the new solid formed is not soluble in the solution. A permanent color change in the solution would also indicate a chemical change because it may be that the new substance that is formed has its own distinct color when in solution.

Calculate the mass of oxygen in 30 g of CH NH COOH?

Naya [18.7K]

Molar mass of CH2NH2COOH - 75

Given mass of CH2NH2COOH - 30

Moles of CH2NH2COOH = Given mass/ Molar mass

moles of CH2NH2COOH = 30/75 = 0.4 mol

One mole of CH2NH2COOH contains 32 gram of oxygen

0.4 mole of CH2NH2COOH will contain = 0.4 × 32= 12.8 g of oxygen

Answer- the mass of oxygen in 30 g of CH2NH2COOH is 12.8 gram!

The conversion of acetyl chloride to methyl acetate occurs via the following two-step mechanism: Reaction sequence of acetyl chl

Svetlanka [38]

If the concentration of acetyl chloride is increased ten times the rate of reaction is increased ten times.

The conversion of acetyl chloride to methyl acetate is a substitution reaction. Recall that a substitution reaction is one in which a moiety in a molecule is replaced by another.

In this reaction, the CH3O- ion replaces the chloride ion. In the first step, the CH3O- ion attacks the substrate in a slow step. This creates a tetrahedral intermediate. Loss of the chloride ion yields the methyl acetate product.

The rate determining step is the formation of the tetrahedral intermediate. Since the reaction is first order in the acetyl chloride, if its concentration is increased ten times the rate of reaction is increased ten times.
