In an Honors organic chemistry lab, a student devised an experiment in which she would treat benzoic acid with t-butanol in an a

cid-catalyzed esterification reaction using concentrated sulfuric acid. Regretfully, the synthetic yield of the expected ester was exceedingly low. Please explain this outcome in terms of the chemistry that actually occurred in the reaction flask. [This attempted esterification reaction would have been better suited to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC/pyridine) esterification conditions.]

Explain how and the type of a bond that forms between sodium and chlorine in sodium chloride (NaCl)
Alexandra [31]

Explanation:

Sodium has 1 electron in its outermost shell, and chlorine has 7 electrons. It is easiest for sodium to lose its electron and form a +1 ion, and for chlorine to gain an electron, forming a -1 ion.

<em>Now ionic bonds areIons are formed by atoms that have non-full outermost electron shells in order to become more like the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table,</em>

<em>Now ionic bonds areIons are formed by atoms that have non-full outermost electron shells in order to become more like the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table,Some atoms add electrons to get a full shell, thus becoming a negative ion. Other atoms subtract electrons from their outermost shell, leaving a full </em><em>shell and an overall positive charge..</em>

A particular reactant decomposes with a half-life of 113 s when its initial concentration is 0.372 M. The same reactant decompos
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Rate constant =  0.0237 M-1 s-1, Order = Second order

Explanation:

In this problem, it can be observed that as the concentration decreases, the half life increases. This means the concentration of the reactant is inversely proportional to the half life.

The order of reaction that exhibit this relationship is the second order of reaction.

In the second order of reaction, the relationship between rate constant and half life is given as;

t1/2 = 1 / k[A]o

Where;

k = rate constant

[A]o = Initial concentration

k = 1 / t1/2 [A]

Uisng the following values;

k = ?

t1/2 = 113

[A]o = 0.372M

k = 1 / (113)(0.372)

k = 1 / 42.036 = 0.0237 M-1 s-1

A student wants to collect data during an experiment about the transfer of kinetic energy in a sample of water and ice. Which to
erastova [34]

Given what we know, the tool in question that will help the student collect data regarding the transfer of kinetic energy between water and ice would be a thermometer.

<h3>How does the thermometer measure kinetic energy?</h3>

It does not do so directly. However, kinetic energy in water molecules is reflected in the temperature of the water. When water molecules increase their kinetic energy and move more, they become hotter. Increased or decreased heat is an indirect way to measure the transfer of kinetic energy in water.

Therefore, given that the temperature of the water is a reflection of the transfer of kinetic energy happening, we can confirm that the tool that will help the student collect the data needed is a thermometer.
