Write the mechanism for the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl benzoate
1 answer:
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,

Answer:
The concentration of the solution is 1.364 molar.
Explanation:
Volume of perchloric acid = 29.1 mL
Mass of the solution = m
Density of the solution = 1.67 g/mL
Percentage of perchloric acid in 48.597 solution :70.5 %
Mass of perchloric acid in 48.597 solution :
=
Moles of perchloric acid =
In 29.1 mL of solution water is added and volume was changed to 250 mL.
So, volume of the final solution = 250 mL = 0.250 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)
The concentration of the solution is 1.364 molar.
