In the simple act of lighting a match, chemical energy stored in the match head is transformed into heat and light. What is true

about this energy transformation?

Striking the match would be mechanical energy, once the match is lit it would produce thermal energy which is what you would feel as heat and electromagnetic which would be seen as light.

The head of a matchstick has a great deal of chemical energy stored in it, including combustible substances that produce a flame when rubbed against a suitable surface. ... As the combustible materials burn, some of the chemical energy is transformed into heat energy, and some is transformed into light energy. Hope this helps

Scientists need special tools to work in the laboratory. These tools are known as___________

Instruments

The specific type of instruments depends on the type of laboratory that you're working in: some labs for example use electron microscopes, others use mass spectrophotometers, others use multiplex biochemical analyzers, etc. But very broadly, the specialized tools we use in the laboratory are usually referred to as "instruments"

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.
N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . Al_2O_3

2. TiO_2

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

  • The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
  • The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide (Sc_2O_3) is an oxide in which Sc^{3+} behaves as cation and O^{2-} behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . Al_2O_3

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation Al^{3+} is smaller than Sc^{3+}. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. TiO_2

This is because the charge on the cation Ti^{4+} is greater than that of Sc^{3+} and also the size of the cation Ti^{4+} is smaller than Sc^{3+}. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

Why do you require an acid catalyst to make an ester? Why not just mix acid and alcohol? Describe an alternate method of making
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:Acid catalyst is needed to increase the electrophilicity of Carbonyl group of Carboxylic acid as alcohol is a weak nucleophile.

Alternatively esters can be synthesised by converting carboxylic acid into acyl chloride using thionyl chloride(SOCl_{2} and then further treating acyl chloride with alcohol.

Carboxylic acid and esters can be easily distinguished on the basis of IR as carboxylic acid would contain a broad intense peak in 2500-3200cm_{-1} corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters would not contain any such broad intense peak.

Alcohol and esters can also be distinguished using IR as alcohols would contain a broad intense peak at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}

Explanation: For the synthesis of esters using alcohol and carboxylic acid we need to add a little amount of acid in the reaction . The acid used here increases the electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon and hence makes it easier for a weaker nucleophile like alcohol to attack the carbonyl carbon of acid.

The oxygen of the carbonyl group is protonated using the acidic proton which  leads to the generation of positive charge on the oxygen. The positive charge generated is delocalised over the whole acid molecule and hence the electrophilicity of carbonyl group is increased. Kindly refer attachment for the structures.

If we simply mix the acid and alcohol then no appreciable reaction would take place between them and ester formation would not take place because the carboxylic acid in that case is not a good electrophile whereas alcohol is also not a very strong nucleophile which can attack the carbonyl group.

Alternatively we can use thionyl chloride or any other reagent which can convert the carboxylic acid into acyl chloride. Acyl chloride is very elctrophilic and alcohol can very easily attack the acyl chloride and esters could be synthesized.

The carboxylic acid and ester can very easily be distinguished on the basis of broad intense OH stretching frequency peak at around 2500-3200cm_{-1} . The broad intense OH stretching frequency peak is present in carboxylic acids as they contain OH groups and absent in case of esters .

Likewise esters and alcohols can also be distinguished on the basis IR spectra as alcohols will have broad intense spectra  at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters will not have any such peak. Rather esters would be having a Carbonyl stretching frequency at around 1720-1760
