The sulfuric acid–catalyzed reaction of isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid to form isopentyl acetate is performed. This reaction

does not proceed to completion. After the reaction is heated under reflux for an hour, the product mixture is washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and the organic layer is thoroughly dried. A distillation of the organic layer is then performed. Given the boiling points listed below, select the compound that will distill first.
Compound Boiling point, ℃
acetic acid 118
isopentyl acetate 142
isopentyl alcohol 130
sulfuric acid water 290

Answer:

The correct option is acetic acid

Explanation:

Distillation is the process of separating a mixture of substances based on differences in boiling points. During distillation, the compound with the lowest/least boiling point is distilled and collected first and then the one with the next least boiling point and it goes on like that.

From the explanation above, <u>acetic acid has the least boiling point (in the organic layer) with 118°C and thus will distill first</u>. This is then followed by isopentyl alcohol (130°C) and then isopentyl acetate (142°C) and finally sulfuric acid water (290°C).

Using Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which equilibrium system below decrease the concentration of the reactant (H2CO3) as a r
seropon [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is c add more HCO3- by adding NaHCO3.

Explanation:

The reaction mentioned in the question is carried out by bicarbonate buffer system of our body to maintain the normal acid  base balance.

         Now concentration of the reactant (H2C03) is decreased then NaHCO3 should be added which undergo breakdown to release bicarbonate ions(HCO3-).

        The released bicarbonate ions then reacts with H+ to form Carbonic acid(H2CO3).Thus homeostasis of H2CO3 is maintained.

If the average salinity of seawater is 35ppt, how many grams of dissolved salts will 500g of seawater contain?
Mila [183]
<span>17.5 g 35 ppt stands for 35 parts per thousand. So let's convert that to a decimal number by taking 35 and dividing by 1000. 35/1000 = 0.035 Now multiply that number by the number of grams of seawater you have. So 0.035 * 500 g = 17.5 g So you have 17.5 grams of salt when you have 500 grams of seawater.</span>
