151.55 x 4 you have to add the molar masses for each element together.
Answer:
1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.
2. False
3. True
Explanation:
In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).
Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.
In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition
By circle fraction additional number for the number
H₂SO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
2H⁺ + SO₄²⁻ + 2Na⁺ + 2OH⁻ → 2Na⁺ + SO₄²⁻ + 2H₂O
H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O (the net ionic equation)
