Answer : The ester form in this reaction will be, Isopropyl propanoate.

Explanation :

When the carboxylic acid react with an alcohol in acidic medium result in the formation of an ester and this is known as Fischer's esterification.

Mechanism of this reaction :

Step 1 : Protonation of the propanoic acid.

In the presence of the an acid catalyst, protonation of carbonyl oxygen occurs which increases the electrophilicity of carbon.

Step 2 : Attack of isopropyl alcohol on the carbonyl carbon.

As the isopropyl alcohol is a weak nucleophile, it attacks on carbonyl carbon due to increases the electrophilicity.

Step 3 : Deprotonation and elimination of leaving group that means formation of ester.

Now loss of proton occurs from oxonium ion. This proton is captured by the oxygen of OH^- group an hydroxyl group gets converted to a better leaving group named as H_2O (water)

The mechanism are shown below.

The final product is an\boxed{{\text{isopropyl propanoate}}}.

Further explanation:

The chemical reaction between an acid and an alcohol molecule to form an ester is known as an esterification reaction. The reaction takes place in acidic medium, and a water molecule gets eliminated.

The reactants given in the question are propanoic acid (acid) and isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol) as alcohol. Therefore, the reaction in presence of catalyst is an esterification reaction, and the product is an ester after the removal of water molecule.

The steps involved in mechanism of esterification of propanoic acid and isopropy alcohol is as follows:

Step 1: Reaction is initiated from the protonation of propanoic acid.

Step 2: Then iso-propyl attack on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon.

Step 3: In the last step, initially the water molecule is removed, and then deprotonation occurs. Deprotonation occurs to produce the final product isopropyl propanoate.

The mechanism of esterification of propanoic acid and isopropyl alcohol is attached in the image.

Write the net ionic equation for this precipitation reaction. Include physical states. ( NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 ( aq ) + Ca ( ClO 4 ) 2 (
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The net ionic equation:

Ca^{2+}(aq)+CO_{3}^{2-}(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_{3}(s)

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is as follows.

(NH_{4})_{2}CO_{3}(aq)+Ca(ClO_{4})_{2}(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_{3}(s)+2NH_{4}ClO_{4}(aq)

The total ionic equation is as follows.

2NH_{4}^{+}(aq)+ CO_{3}^{2-}(aq)+Ca^{2+}(aq)+2ClO_{4}^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_{3}(s)+2NH_{4}^{+}(aq)+2ClO_{4}^{-}

Similar ions on the both sides of the reaction will be cancelled.

The remaining reaction is

Ca^{2+}(aq)+CO_{3}^{2-}(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_{3}(s)

Therefore, the net ionic reaction is as follows.

Ca^{2+}(aq)+CO_{3}^{2-}(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_{3}(s)

He heat of solution of kcl is 17. 2 kj/mol and the lattice energy of kcl(s) is 701. 2 kj/mol. calculate the total heat of hydrat
Alexandra [31]

The total heat of hydration of 1. 00 mol of gas phase K^{+} ions and Cl^{-}ions is - 684 kJ/mol.

Calculation ,

Given data ,

Heat of solution =  17. 2 kJ/mol

lattice energy of KCl(s) = 701. 2 kJ/mol.

heat of hydration = ?

The KCl is formed byK^{+} ions and Cl^{-}– ions

ΔH_{solution} = U° + ΔH_{hydration}

ΔH_{hydration} = ΔH_{solution} - U° =  17. 2 kJ/mol - 701. 2 kJ/mol = - 684 kJ/mol

Hence, heat of hydration of 1. 00 mol of gas phase K^{+} ions and Cl^{-} ions is - 684 kJ/mol.

2. Write the formula or name for the following
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Diphosphorus pentoxide

Carbon dichloride

BCl3

N2H4

Explanation:

These are all covalent compounds. To name covalent compounds, you add prefixes to the beginning of their names depending on what the subscript is of each element. The prefixes are:

1: Mono

2: Di

3: Tri

4: Tetra

5: Penta

6: Hexa

7: Hepta

8: Octa

9: Nona

10: Deca

For example, since the first one is Phopsphorus with a 2 next to it, you add the prefix Di to it.

If the first element in the compound only has one, meaning no number next to it, you do not say mono. This is why we just say "Carbon" for the second one instead of "Monocarbon."

Finally, you always have to end the second element in the compound with "ide." So, "chlorine" becomes "chloride," "oxygen" becomes "oxide," and so on.

In general, the rate of a reaction can be increased by
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 1. All of these

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction depends on following factors:

1. increasing the concentration of reactants: means there is more particles of reactants per unit volume.Thus more particles can collide and hence the rate of reaction increases.

2. increasing the temperature- the particles move faster and undergo more collision which leads to an increase in the rate of the reaction.

3.adding an appropriate catalyst: addition of catalyst lowers the activation energy and thus more reactants can cross the energy barrier. Thus it leads to formation of more products hence an increase in the reaction rate.

Thus the rate of a reaction can be increased by  all of these.
