Compound A serves as a prodrug for the analgesic benzocaine. (A prodrug is a pharmacologically inactive compound that is convert

ed in the body to an active drug, usually by a metabolic transformation.) The enzyme amidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of compound A into benzocaine. Write the structures of the possible products of A that might be formed by hydrolysis in aqueous HCl.

Answer:

The hydrolysis in aqueous HCl of compound A can lead to the formation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

Explanation:

The picture shows the structures of compound A, benzoncaine and the possible products of the proposed reaction.

The acidic hydrolysis is the inverse of the esterification reaction. Therefore, the ester group of compund A will react to form the equivalent carboxylic acid and alcohol.

In order to form benzocaine, the hydrolysis happens in with the nitrile group.

Is Ca + O --&gt; CaO a balanced chemical equation? Is it obeying the law of conservation of matter? Question 5 options: Yes it i
iren [92.7K]

Answer is: Yes it is balanced. It has the same number of Ca and O on both the reactant side and the product side.

According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of chemical reaction.

There is one calcium atom atom and one oxygen atom on both side of reaction, so chemical reaction is balanced.

How many L of a 7.5 H2SO4 stock solution would you need to prepare a dilute solution 100 L of 0.25M H2SO4
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

3.33 L

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the equation:

  • C₁V₁=C₂V₂

Where the subscript 1 refers to one solution and subscript 2 to the another solution, meaning that in this case:

  • C₁ = 0.25 M
  • V₁ = 100 L
  • C₂ = 7.5 M
  • V₂ = ?

We input the data:

  • 0.25 M * 100 L = 7.5 M * V₂
  • V₂ = 3.33 L

Thus the answer is 3.33 liters.
