The question is partially incorrect, because nitration of <span> methyl benzoate results in generation of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate, and not methyl 2-benzoate.
This a because of the present of ester group, which deactivated benzene ring at ortho and para position. Due to this, the electrophile (NO2+) attackes on meta position.
The detailed mechanism is attached below.</span>
Explanation:
It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.
PV = nRT
The given data is as follows.
Pressure, P = 1500 psia, Temperature, T = = 104 + 460 = 564 R
Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft, R = 10.73
Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.
n =
m =
=
= 9.54 lb
Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.
- We will calculate the density as follows.
d =
=
= 3.975
- Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.
Specific gravity relative to air =
=
= 51.96
10, deca means ten a decagon is a ten side polygon, a decimetre is one tenth of a metre a decade is ten years so your answer is ten.
Shape
A gas is shapeless all other things being equal. It will, if put in a container, occupy every part of the container.
A liquid could also be thought of shapeless. If put in a container, it need not occupy the entire container. It will occupy as much as its calculated volume will permit it to occupy.
A solid will only occupy its original shape.
Volume
A gas will occupy whatever container it is put in within limits. You cannot put a 72 mols of gas in a mm^3 container without some amazing ability to apply a lot of pressure.
A liquid will occupy a volume determined by its density and mass. In general liquids cannot be compressed.
Whatever volume a solid has to start with, it will retain that volume all other things being equal.
This is actually very hard to describe.
