took two ethanoic acid molecules and removed a molecule of water between them you would get the acid anhydride, ethanoic anhydride. The old name: acetic anhydride.

At STP, the volume of a gas represents the number of particles.That said, from the chemical reaction one mole of oxygen reacts with two moles of co to produce the product, CO2At STP, 3 moles of Oxygen will produce 6 moles of CO2. Hence It follows that at standard temperature and pressure, 6.0 L of CO2 will be produced. Option D.

kiruha [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $NH_3$

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $NH_3$ = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

Taking advantage of their large differences in pKa values, describe how a mixture of phenol and benzoic acid in diethyl ether so

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

By adding bicarbonate.

Explanation:

The pka of the phenol (C₆H₅OH) is 10 and the pka of the benzoic acid (C₆H₅COOH) is 4, which means that the benzoic acid is a stronger acid than phenol, so if we want to separate phenol from benzoic acid in diethyl ether we need to first use a weak base that will react with benzoic acid and not with the phenol:

C₆H₅-COOH + HCO₃⁻ ⇄ C₆H₅-COO⁻ + H₂CO₃

C₆H₅-OH + HCO₃⁻ ⇄ no reaction

The reaction of the benzoic acid with bicarbonate will produce the benzoate ion that will be soluble in the aqueous layer, while the phenol will remain dissolved in the organic layer, so we can separate the two of them by the separation of the two immiscible layers.

Having the two layers separated, the benzoic acid can be recovered from the aqueous layer by adding HCl:

C₆H₅-COO⁻ + HCl ⇄ C₆H₅-COOH + Cl⁻

This acid will precipitate from the aqueous solution, and the solid can be isolated by filtration.

The phenol in the organic layer can be dissolved into an aqueous layer by the adding of a strong base like NaOH:

C₆H₅-OH + OH⁻ ⇄ C₆H₅-O⁻ + H₂O

The phenoxide ion soluble in the aqueous layer can be recovered later by the adding of HCl, which will form the original phenol:

C₆H₅-O⁻ + HCl ⇄ C₆H₅-OH + Cl⁻

The precipitated phenol can be isolated by filtration.

This way we can separate a mixture of phenol and benzoic acid in diethyl ether solution.

I hope it helps you!
