Elis [28]3 years ago
7 0
Hydrolysis of Methyl Benzoate yields Benzoic Acid and Methanol. This reaction is also called as Tranesterification (reverse of esterification). Acid in this reaction protonates the carbonyl oxygen, resulting in increasing electrophillic character of carbonyl carbon. Water acts as a nucleophile and methoxide leaves as a good leaving group. Mechanism is shown below,

Based on the nebular theory of the solar system formation, explain how our solar system is formed.
Alika [10]

the nebular theory states that the solar systems developing <u><em>rotations </em></u>revolve around sun. it is located in the milky-way. revolving around the <u><em>sun</em></u>, with <u><em>gravity</em></u> pulling it, an interstellar cloud of dust and gas, is formed. (i.e. the nebula that we are speaking)

this formation is a<u><em> protostar</em></u>. the idea in the theory states that the <u><em>nebula</em></u> has flattened into a <u><em>disk</em></u> called the "protoplanetary disk"; and over time, the debreis eventually formed this disk. (i.e. creating the milky-way)

hopefully this helped, thank you!! :D
