Answer:

they grow, reproduce and die.

Explanation:

Microorganisms are a way of life that cannot be visualized without the aid of a microscope. These tiny beings can be found in the air, on the ground, and even in man. These tiny beings are not all the same, they can be very different in size and way of life. However, they all have in common a very simple structure and the impossibility of being seen without the use of a microscope. In addition, microorganisms can represent some characteristics of life, since as well as living beings in gereal they grow, reproduce and die.

If you have 16 g of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate, how much water is required to prepare 0.16 M solution from this amount
Schach [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of water required to prepare given amount of salt is 398.4 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of solution, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.16 M

Given mass of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate = 16 g

Molar mass of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate = 251 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.16M=\frac{16\times 1000}{251\times \text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{16\times 1000}{251\times 0.16}=398.4mL

Volume of water = Volume of solution = 398.4 mL

Hence, the amount of water required to prepare given amount of salt is 398.4 mL

Why do you require an acid catalyst to make an ester? Why not just mix acid and alcohol? Describe an alternate method of making
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:Acid catalyst is needed to increase the electrophilicity of Carbonyl group of Carboxylic acid as alcohol is a weak nucleophile.

Alternatively esters can be synthesised by converting carboxylic acid into acyl chloride using thionyl chloride(SOCl_{2} and then further treating acyl chloride with alcohol.

Carboxylic acid and esters can be easily distinguished on the basis of IR as carboxylic acid would contain a broad intense peak in 2500-3200cm_{-1} corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters would not contain any such broad intense peak.

Alcohol and esters can also be distinguished using IR as alcohols would contain a broad intense peak at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}

Explanation: For the synthesis of esters using alcohol and carboxylic acid we need to add a little amount of acid in the reaction . The acid used here increases the electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon and hence makes it easier for a weaker nucleophile like alcohol to attack the carbonyl carbon of acid.

The oxygen of the carbonyl group is protonated using the acidic proton which  leads to the generation of positive charge on the oxygen. The positive charge generated is delocalised over the whole acid molecule and hence the electrophilicity of carbonyl group is increased. Kindly refer attachment for the structures.

If we simply mix the acid and alcohol then no appreciable reaction would take place between them and ester formation would not take place because the carboxylic acid in that case is not a good electrophile whereas alcohol is also not a very strong nucleophile which can attack the carbonyl group.

Alternatively we can use thionyl chloride or any other reagent which can convert the carboxylic acid into acyl chloride. Acyl chloride is very elctrophilic and alcohol can very easily attack the acyl chloride and esters could be synthesized.

The carboxylic acid and ester can very easily be distinguished on the basis of broad intense OH stretching frequency peak at around 2500-3200cm_{-1} . The broad intense OH stretching frequency peak is present in carboxylic acids as they contain OH groups and absent in case of esters .

Likewise esters and alcohols can also be distinguished on the basis IR spectra as alcohols will have broad intense spectra  at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters will not have any such peak. Rather esters would be having a Carbonyl stretching frequency at around 1720-1760
