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).

When the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.

Explanation :

As we are given the pH of the solution change. Now we have to calculate the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5 and pH = 3

As we know that,

pH=-\log [H_3O^+]

The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5.

5=-\log [H_3O^+]

[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-5}M      ..............(1)

The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 3.

3=-\log [H_3O^+]

[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-3}M      ................(2)

By dividing the equation 1 and 2 we get the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration.

\frac{[H_3O^+]_{original}}{[H_3O^+]_{final}}=\frac{1\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{1}{100}

100\times [H_3O^+]_{original}=[H_3O^+]_{final}

From this we conclude that when the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is 100 times the original content.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.

2.22 (a) Briefly cite the main differences between ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding. (b) State the Pauli exclusion principl
Alja [10]

Answer: Ioniç bond is also called electrovalent bond. It involves the transfer of electrons from positively charged ions to negatively charged ions. covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves electrons sharing by atoms of a molecule in order to achieve a stable electronic configuration.. Metallic bond is a type of chemical bond that forms between metal atoms and it occurs when positive metal ions are attracted to a negatively charged electron that are not associated with a single atom. The differences can be seen in the definitions above.

Pauli exclusion principle states that electrons which are identical cannot have the same quantum state.
