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).

Argon has a pressure of 34.6 atm. It is transferred to a new tank with a volume of 456 L and pressure of 2.94 atm. What was the
NemiM [27]

Answer:

38.75 L

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying Boyles Law,

PV = P'V'....................... Equation 1

Where P = Original pressure of the Argon gas, V = Original Volume of Argon gas, P' = Final pressure of Argon gas, V' =  Final Volume of Argon gas.

make V the subject of the equation

V = P'V'/P.................... Equation 2

Given: P = 34.6 atm, V' = 456 L, P' = 2.94 atm.

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = (456×2.94)/34.6

V = 38.75 L

Chemistry omg need help plz I need plz. I real badly at it and try to get better but plz help me
Rufina [12.5K]
We all struggle in some subjects, you do badly when you don't try, and sometimes we try and can't get the answer, I'll help with that. :)

The first answer is CO2(g), CO2 is a gas, and all gas have... 4) No definite shape, no definite volume.

A piece of ice, a block of wood, and a ceramic cup are solids. They have shapes that do not change and volumes that can be measured. Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume.

A liquid takes the shape of what holds it, besides a flat surface, which will just evidently, take the shape of a flat surface. A liquid has a definite volume, because the volume of a liquid is constant because forces of attraction keep the particles loosely together.

Gases attempt to fill a container of any shape or size. Therefore, it has no definite shape.
There are forces of attraction among the particles in all matter, therefore, it has no definite volume.

The second question might become easier with the explanation above. A liquid has a definite volume because the forces of attraction are loosely together! Therefore, it has a definite volume, but it will take the shape of it's container.

This means... Yes! 2) It retains its original volume but changes shape.

This one is easy. To convert one gram of a solid at its normal heating point to a liquid at the same temperature, is the 1) Heat of Vaporization.

Heat of Vaporization is the amount of heat energy required to convert one gram of a substance from a liquid to a gas.

The third question, the molecules for H20, in a solid phase are always in an geometric and arranged pattern.

Most solids are arranged in geometric and arranged patterns, and since H20 is not in its indefinitely shaped liquid phase, it has a definite shape and thus, retains a repeating (geometric) pattern.

(Note- Some solids like wax or rubber do not have an arranged or geometric pattern.)

The “average of a kinetic energy” is defined as the vitality of movement of particles of a framework.

Or in simpler terms, “energy motion”.

So when temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of a molecule(s) 1) increases.

What is the mass of 1.45 moles of silver sulfate?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

449.5 g

Explanation:

Silver sulfate- Ag2SO4

M(Ag)=107 g/mol => M(Ag2)=214 g/mol

M(S)=32 g/mol

M(O)=16 g/mol => M(O4)=64 g/mol

M(Ag2SO4)=310 g/mol

n=1.45 mol

m(Ag2SO4)=M(Ag2SO4)*n=310 g/mol *1.45 mol= 449.5 g
