Answer:
No net change in reaction occurs in this nucleophilic acyl subtitution reaction
Explanation:
Sodium ethoxide in ethanol gives nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction with ethyl-2-methylpropanoate.
Here ethoxide group replaces an ethoxide group from ester through addition-ellimination pathway.
So, ultimately, the product of this reaction is identical with reactant i.e. ethyl-2-methylpropanoate is reproduced.
Hence one might observe no change during reaction as product and reactant of this reaction are same.
Mechanistic pathway has been shown below.
Answer: C) 0.020 m
Explanation:
Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.
where,
n = moles of solute
= weight of solvent in g
Mole fraction of is =
i.e.
moles of
is present in 1 mole of solution.
Moles of solute =
moles of solvent (water) = 1 - = 0.99
weight of solvent =
Molality =
Thus approximate molality of in this solution is 0.020 m
