Answer:

To synthesize cis-2-methylcyclopentyl from methycyclopentanol, you need to replace the acetate hydroxyl group with acetate by inverting the configuration.  

Explanation:

To understand the process, you need to understand the nucleophilic mechanism taking place in the process. This is the first stage of the process. Hydroxide is a poor leaving group, to it must be converted to a good leaving group. To effect the change, it is necessary to use p-toluenesuphate.

p-toluenesuphate is favored because this can be prepared by a reaction that alters none of the bonds attached to the stereogenic center.

The reaction of p-toluensulfonate with potassium acetate in acetic acid effects the conversion to give the final product: cis-2-methylcyclopentyl.

Five kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly from 2 bar, 280 K to 20 bar
kaheart [24]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Five kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly from 2 bar, 280 K to 20 bar, 520 K. If the carbon dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, determine the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K. Assuming;

a) constant specific heats Cp = 0.939 kJ/Kg K

b) variable specific heats

Answer:

a) the amount of entropy produced is 0.731599 kJ/K

b) the amount of entropy produced is 0.69845 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

5 kg of carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly.

m = 5 kg

Molar mass M = 44.01 g/mol

P₁ = 2 bar, P₂ = 20

T₁ = 280 K, P₂ = 520 K

Since its insulated { q = 0 } ( kinetic and potential energy effects = 0 )

Now,

a) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K, Assuming constant specific heats with Cp = 0.939 kJ/Kg K

S_{Generation = m × ((Cp × In( T₂/T₁) - R × In( P₂/p₁ ))

we substitute

S_{Generation = 5 × (( 0.939  × In( 520/280) - 0.1889 × In( 20/2 ))

= 5 × ( 0.5812778 - 0.434958 )

= 5 × 0.1463198

= 0.731599 kJ/K

Therefore, the amount of entropy produced is 0.731599 kJ/K

b) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K, Assuming variable specific heats.

Now, from  Table A-23: Ideal Gas Properties of Selected Gases;

T₁,T₂ : s₁⁰ = 211.376 kJ/kmol-K, s₂⁰ = 236.575 kJ/kmol-K

now, s₁ = s₁⁰ / M and s₂ = s₂⁰ / M

we substitute

s₁ = s₁⁰ / M = 211.376 / 44.01  = 4.8029 kJ/kg

s₂ = s₂⁰ / M = 236.575 / 44.01 = 5.37548 kJ/kg

S_{Generation = m × (( s₂ - s₁ ) - R × In( p₂ / p₁ ))

we substitute

S_{Generation = 5 × (( 5.37548 - 4.8029  ) - 0.1880 × In( 20 / 2 ))

= 5 × ( 0.57258 - 0.432885997 )

= 5 × 0.13969

= 0.69845 kJ/K

Therefore, the amount of entropy produced is 0.69845 kJ/K

Answer:

18 L

Explanation:

boyles law

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (.9 * 4)/.2

V2 = 18

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?​
gregori [183]
Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.
