What is the molecular weight of a monoprotic carboxylic acid if 11.20 mL of 0.9635 M sodium hydroxide is required to titrate 1.2

53 g of this acid? The reaction is represented by following equation. NOTE: In the equation, R represents an unspecified carbon containing structure RCO-H (aq)NaOH (aq) RCO,Na (aq) HOH (U) Separate experiments suggest the unknown acid is likely pentanoic acid, C4H,CO2H. Is the unknown pentanoic acid? Why or why not?

Answer:

116.1 a.m.u.

It is not likely that RCOOH is the pentanoic acid

Explanation:

Let's consider the generic neutralization between NaOH and a monoprotic carboxylic acid.

RCOOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) ⇒ RCOONa(aq) + H₂O(l)

The molar ratio of RCOOH to NaOH is 1:1. The moles of RCOOH are:

11.20 \times 10^{-3}L.\frac{0.9635molNaOH}{1L}. \frac{1molRCOOH}{1molNaOH} =1.079 \times 10^{-2}molRCOOH

The molar mass of RCOOH is:

\frac{1.253g }{1.079 \times 10^{-2}mol } =116,1g/mol

Thus, the molecular weight is 116.1 a.m.u.

Pentanoic acid has the formula C₅H₁₀O₂ with a molecular weight of 102.1 a.m.u. So, it is not likely that RCOOH is the pentanoic acid.

The product of the nitration reaction will have a nitro group at which position with respect to the methyl group? Group of answe
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Mostly Para

Explanation:

First, let's assume that the molecule is the toluene (A benzene with a methyl group as radical).

Now the nitration reaction is a reaction in which the nitric acid in presence of sulfuric acid, react with the benzene molecule, to introduce the nitro group into the molecule. The nitro group is a relative strong deactiviting group and is metha director, so, further reactions that occur will be in the metha position.

Now, in this case, the methyl group is a weak activating group in the molecule of benzene, and is always ortho and para director for the simple fact that this molecule (The methyl group) is a donor of electrons instead of atracting group of electrons. Therefore for these two reasons, when the nitration occurs,it will go to the ortho or para position.

Now which position will prefer to go? it's true it can go either ortho or para, however, let's use the steric hindrance principle. Although the methyl group it's not a very voluminous and big molecule, it still exerts a little steric hindrance, and the nitro group would rather go to a position where no molecule is present so it can attach easily. It's like you have two doors that lead to the same place, but in one door you have a kid in the middle and the other door is free to go, you'll rather pass by the door which is free instead of the door with the kid in the middle even though you can pass for that door too. Same thing happens here. Therefore the correct option will be mostly para.

The answer is head-to-tail joining of monomers. Monomer used in condensation have  two functional groups that combine to form amide and ester linkages. When this reaction occurs, water molecules is removed and that is why it is called a condensation reaction.
