Why is it important to neutralize the reaction mixture during the workup? 1. It ensures that the ester is uncharged and therefor

e insoluble in water so that the product can be filtered. 2. If the reaction were not neutralized, the final product would not be in the desired oxidation state. 3. Neutralization prevents the ester from undergoing the reverse reaction to regenerate the carboxylic acid starting material. 4. Sulfuric acid is strong enough to dissolve glass and needs to be neutralized before the glassware loses its structural integrity.

Answer: the correct option is 1 (It ensures that the ester is uncharged and therefore insoluble in water so that the product can be filtered.)

Explanation:

Esters are formed through a process known as esterification. This involves the heating of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol while the water formed is continuously removed. In order for the reaction to occur at a maximum rate, an acidic catalyst is used. The most common acid catalysts includes:

- hydrochloric acid and

-sulfuric acid.

These catalyst needs to be neutralized in order to isolate the product. This is so because the solution begins to precipitate when the reaction mixture is neutralized.

Thus it is important neutralize the moisture in order to filter out the ester from the mixture, which otherwise will be in a dissolved state and will not be recoverable.

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?
mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of  Hydrogen (H)  is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, ClO^-

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

What products result from mixing aqueous solutions of Cr(NO3)2(aq) and NaOH(aq)? Question 10 options: Cr(OH)2(s), Na+(aq), and N
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Cr(OH)2(s), Na+(aq), and NO3−(aq)

Explanation:

Let is consider the molecular equation;

2NaOH(aq) + Cr(NO3)2(aq) -----> 2NaNO3(aq) + Cr(OH)2(s)

This is a double displacement or double replacement reaction. The reacting species exchange their partners. We can see here that both the sodium ion and chromium II ion both exchanged partners and picked up each others partners in the product.

Sodium ions and nitrate ions now remain in the solution while chromium II hydroxide which is insoluble is precipitated out of the solution as a solid hence the answer.

Do metals form are anions or cations?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Metals form cations.

The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.

Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.

Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.

The nuclear binding energy of one nitrogen-14 atom is (BLANK) x 10A J. Round to 3
d1i1m1o1n [39]

mass defect = mass of constituents - mass of atom

N has 7p and 9n

proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu

neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu

electron mass ~ 0.000549 amu

Nitrogen mass ~ 14.003074 amu

mass defect = (7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549) - 14.003074

= 0.11235amu

convert to energy, the binding energy = 1.68x10^-11 J
