Answer:
1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.
2. False
3. True
Explanation:
In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).
Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.
In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition
The solution is an alkali.
Usually with the pH value range of 14, substances with pH 7 can be called neutral. Meanwhile substances lower than pH 7 are acids, the lower the pH is, the more acidic it is. Such as cola, it has a pH 2, which is very acidic.
In opposite, the substances with pH over 7 are called alkalis. Again, the larger the pH value is, the more alkaline it is. So pH 13 is a strong alkaline therefore it it corrosive and can clean the toilet well.
he is a good scientist because he postulated that chemical reactions resulted in the rearrangement of the reacting atoms
1.it is readily available since hydrogen is a basic earth element and it's very abundant.
2. It doesn't produce harmful emissions.
Disadvantages
1.it is expensive. It is expensive because it takes a lot of time to separate the element from others.
2.it is difficult to store. Even moving a tiny bit of hydrogen would be very expensive.
3. It is highly flammable. Since it is a very powerful source of fuel, hydrogen can be very flammable.
