Answer:

PhCH2CH2COOH

Explanation:

This is a reaction of PhCH2CH2Br with KCN in the presence of H3O^+. The reaction first leads to the formation of PhCH2CH2CN.

We must recall that part of the properties of nitriles is that they can be converted to carboxylic acids in the presence of H3O^+. This is a common synthetic route for carboxylic acids.

Therefore, when the PhCH2CH2CN is now further reacted with H3O^+, the carboxylic acid PhCH2CH2COOH is formed as the major organic product of the reaction, hence the answer given above.

A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 8.10kg of water at 33.9 degree

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The new temperature of the water bath 32.0°C.

Explanation:

Mass of water in water bath ,m= 8.10 kg = 8100 g ( 1kg = 1000g)

Initial temperature of the water = $T_1=33.9^oC=33.9+273K=306.9 K$

Final temperature of the water = $T_2$

Specific heat capacity of water under these conditions = c = 4.18 J/gK

Amount of energy lost by water = -Q = -69.0 kJ = -69.0 × 1000 J

( 1kJ=1000 J)

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)$

$-69.0\times 1000 J=8100 g\times 4.18 J/g K\times (T_2-306.9 K)$

$-69,000.0 J=8100 g\times 4.18 J/g K\times (T_2-306.9 K)$

$T_2=304.86 K=304.86 -273^oC=31.86^oC\approx 32.0^oC$

The new temperature of the water bath 32.0°C.
