Answer :

There are three processes involved in the conversion of ethane to ethanoic acid.

In first process, on the chlorination of the ethane in the presence of the sunlight or in the presence of U.V light, ethane converted into ethyl chloride.

In the second process, ethyl chloride react with the aqueous potassium hydroxide to give ethanol.

In the third process, ethanol react with an oxidizing agent (Alkaline potassium permanganate) to give ethanoic acid.

The reaction are shown below.

Ethane can be turned into its carboxylic acid form called the ethanoic acid by a series of steps. First chlirinate it in the presence of light. Then, add potassium hydroxide to get an alcohol. Finally, adding KMnO4 to oxidize it to a carboxylic acid. The equations are as follows:
C2H6 + Cl2  ---> C2H5Cl + HCl
C2H5Cl+KOH-> C2H5OH+ KCl.
C2H5OH  ----KMnO4 ---> CH3COOH.

Which of the following molecules has one lone pair of electrons?
BigorU [14]
You can automatically rule out CH₄ since it has no lone pairs at all around the central atom. Water has 2. Ammonia is the only Lewis structure that contains one lone pair.

How many grams of solid Ca(OH)2 (74.1 g/mol) are required to make 500 ml of a 3 M solution?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

111.15 g are required to prepare 500 ml of a 3 M solution

Explanation:

In a 3 M solution of Ca(OH)₂ there are 3 moles of Ca(OH)₂ per liter solution. In 500 ml of this solution, there will be (3 mol/2) 1.5 mol Ca(OH)₂.

Since 1 mol of Ca(OH)₂ has a mass of 74.1 g, 1.5 mol will have a mass of

(1.5 mol Ca(OH)₂ *(74.1 g / 1 mol)) 111.15 g. This mass of Ca(OH)₂ is required to prepare the 500 ml 3 M solution.
