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 : The concentration of the solution is, 2.16 M
Explanation :
To calculate the concentration of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is
.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus, the concentration of the solution is, 2.16 M
