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

Answer:
the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction is 8.5 * 10⁷
Explanation:
Ti(s) + 2 Cl₂(g) ⇄ TiCl₄(l)
equilibrium constant Kc =
Given that,
We are given:
Equilibrium amount of titanium = 2.93 g
Equilibrium amount of titanium tetrachloride = 2.02 g
Equilibrium amount of chlorine gas = 1.67 g
We calculate the No of mole = mass / molar mass
mass of chlorine gas = 1.67 g
Molar mass of chlorine gas = 71 g/mol
mole of chlorine = 1.67 / 71
= 7.0L
Concentration of chlorine is = no of mole / volume
= 0.024 / 7
= 3.43 * 10⁻³M
equilibrium constant Kc =
=
= 8.5 * 10⁷
