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.]

BARSIC [14]
Heterotrophic cells must ingest biomass to obtain their energy and nutrition. Heterotrophic microorganisms mostly feed upon dead plants and animals, and are known as decomposers. ... Some animals also specialize on feeding on dead organic matter, and are known as scavengers or detritivores. Hope this was helpful.

Explain why the total amount of energy does not decrease in an exergonic <br> chemical reaction
Zielflug [23.3K]

An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative (there is a net release of free energy),[1] indicating a spontaneous reaction. For processes that take place under constant pressure and temperature conditions, the Gibbs free energy is used whereas the Helmholtz energy is used for processes that take place under constant volume and temperature conditions.

Symbolically, the release of free energy, G, in an exergonic reaction (at constant pressure and temperature) is denoted as

{\displaystyle \Delta G=G_{\rm {products}}-G_{\rm {reactants}}<0.\,}

Although exergonic reactions are said to occur spontaneously, this does not imply that the reaction will take place at an observable rate. For instance, the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide is very slow in the absence of a suitable catalyst. It has been suggested that eager would be a more intuitive term in this context.[2]

More generally, the terms exergonic and endergonic relate to the free energy change in any process, not just chemical reactions. An example of an exergonic reaction is cellular respiration. This relates to the degrees of freedom as a consequence of entropy, the temperature, and the difference in heat released or absorbed.

By contrast, the terms exothermic and endothermic relate to the overall exchange of heat during a process

Can we use electrical equipment near water? Explain Why?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

You may, but it is too risky.

Even though you are being cautious around using electric equipment around water, you'll never know what can happen. You might accidentally drop that piece of electrical equipment you are using into the water. Water can be splashed around by someone or something without you noticing it and it may affect the object you are using. Sometimes, if water comes in contact with an electrical object, it may cause you electric shocks or the equipment you are using has a chance of exploding and may hurt you. You can guarantee that waterproof electrical equipment is safe to use, but it is better not to risk it too much.

Formic acid, which is a component of insect venom, has a ka = 1.8 ´ 10-4. what is the [h3o+] in a solution that is initially 0.1
scoray [572]
Answer is: concentratio of H₃O⁺ ions is 4.2·10⁻³ M.<span>
Chemical reaction: HCOOH(aq) + H</span>₂O(l) ⇄ HCOO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq).<span>
c(HCOOH) = 0,1 M.
[</span>H₃O⁺] = [HCOO⁻] = x.<span>
[HCOOH] = 0,1 M - x.
</span>Ka = [H₃O⁺] · [HCOO⁻] / [HCOOH].
0,00018 = x² / (0,1 M - x).<span>
Solve quadratic equation: x = </span>[H₃O⁺] = 0,0042 M.
