4-hydroxypentanal reacts with one equivalent of methanol to form a cyclic acetal.

Chemistry
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation is given as:

CH3CHOHC2H4CHO + CH3OH --> CYCLIC ACETAL + H2O

This above equation is carried out in the presence of a strong acid. There are five mechanisms employed and they are:

Step 1:

Initial formation of the hemiacetal which takes several steps

Step 2:

Addition of a proton. The hemicetal is protonated on the hydroxyl group (-OH group)

Step 3:

As seen a bond is broken to give the H2O molecule and a resonance stabilized cation.

The carbonyl group on the cation is enriched with the oxygen-18 got from the H2O molecule as seen in the mechanism.

Step 4:

An attraction occurs between electrophile and nucleophile i.e the stabilised cation and the lone paids of the methanol.

Step 5:

Finally, a proton (+) is removed from the molecule by a lone pair of electron on the methanol.

Attached are the Steps 1 - 5 mechanism below

The colligative molality of an unknown aqueous solution is 1.56 m.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Vapor pressure of solution = 17.02 Torr

T° of boiling point for the solution is 100.79°C

T° of freezing point for the solution is -2.9°C

Explanation:

Let's state the colligative properties with their formulas

- <u>Vapor pressure lowering</u>

ΔP = P° . Xm . i

- <u>Boiling point elevation</u>

ΔT = Kb . m . i

-<u> Freezing point depressión</u>

ΔT = Kf . m . i

ΔP = Vapor pressure pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure solution

ΔT = T° boling solution - T° boiling pure solvent

ΔT = T° freezing pure solvent - T° freezing solution

i represents the Van't Hoff factor (ions dissolved in the solution). If we assume that the solute is non-volatile and the solution is ideal i = 1

Kf and Kb are cryoscopic and ebulloscopic constant, they are  specific to each solvent.

Vapor pressure works with mole fraction (Xm) and the only data we have is molality, so we consider 1.56 moles of solute and 1000 g of solvent mass.

Moles of solvent → solvent mass / molar mass of solvent

Moles of solvent → 1000 g / 18 g/mol = 55.5 moles

Mole fraction is moles of solute / Total moles (mol st + mol sv)

Mole fraction: 1.56 / (1.56 + 55.5) = 0.027

- Vapor pressure lowering

ΔP = P° . Xm . i

17.5 Torr - Vapor pressure of solution = 17.5 Torr . 0.027 . 1

Vapor pressure of solution = - (17.5 Torr . 0.027 . 1 - 17.5 Torr)

Vapor pressure of solution = 17.02 Torr

- Boiling point elevation

ΔT = Kb . m . i

T° boiling solution - 100° = 0.512 °C/ m . 1.56 m . 1

T°boiling solution = 0.512 °C/ m . 1.56 m . 1 + 100°C

T°boiling solution = 100.79°C

- Freezing point depression

ΔT = Kf . m . i

0°C - T° freezing solution = 1.86 °C/m . 1.56 m . 1

T° freezing solution = - (1.86 °C/m . 1.56 m)

T° freezing solution = -2.9°C
