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.

Answer:

Complete Combustion

One of the types of combustion is Complete Combustion. Complete combustion occurs in an unlimited supply of air, oxygen in particular. Also, complete combustion is also known as clean combustion. Here the hydrocarbon will burn out completely with the oxygen and leave only two byproducts, water, and carbon dioxide.

An example of this is when a candle burns. The heat from the wick will vaporize the wax which reacts with the oxygen in the air. The two products of the reaction are water and carbon dioxide. In an ideal situation all the wax burns up and complete combustion takes place

2] Incomplete Combustion

Incomplete combustion takes place when the air is in limited supply. And as opposed to complete combustion it is otherwise known as dirty combustion. Due to lack of oxygen, the fuel will not react completely. This, in turn, produces carbon monoxide and soot instead of carbon dioxide.

An example is burning of paper. It leaves behind ash (a form of soot) as a byproduct. In a complete combustion, the only products are water and carbon dioxide. Also, incomplete combustion produces less energy than complete combustion.

3] Rapid Combustion

Another type of combustion is Rapid Combustion. Rapid energy needs external heat energy for the reaction to occur. The combustion produces a large amount of heat and light energy and does so rapidly. The combustion will carry on as long as the fuel is available.

An example is when you light a candle. The heat energy is provided when we light the candle with a matchstick. And it will carry on till the wax burns out. Hence it is a rapid combustion

4] Spontaneous Combustion

As the name suggests the combustion occurs spontaneously. This means that it requires no external energy for the combustion to start. It happens due to self-heating. A substance with low-ignition temperatures gets heated and this heat is unable to escape.

The temperature rises above ignition point and in the presence of sufficient oxygen combustion will happen. The reaction of alkali metals with water is an example.

5] Explosive Combustion

Explosive Combustion happens when the reaction occurs very rapidly. The reaction occurs when something ignites to produce heat, light and sound energy, The simple way to describe is it to call it an explosion. Some classic examples are firecrackers or blowing up of dynamite.

) Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [O2]. If the rate of formation of O2is 7
Travka [436]

Answer:

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.

Explanation:

The rate of the reaction is defined as change in any one of the concentration of reactant or product per unit time.

2O_3\rightleftharpoons 3O_2

Rate of formation of oxygen : 7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s

Rate of the reaction(R) =\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}

R=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}

Rate of formation of oxygen=3 × (R)

7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s=3\times R

Rate of the reaction(R): 0.2593 M/s

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

Rate of disappearance of the ozone:

R=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}

\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=-2\times R=-2\times 0.2593\times M/s=-0.5186M/s

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.

How many grams of water are made from the reaction of 4.0 grams of hydrogen gas with the given reaction 2H2+O2--->2H2O
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The mass of water is 36 g.

Explanation:

Mass of hydrogen = 4 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

First of all we will write the balance chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of hydrogen = 4 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles of hydrogen = 2 mol

Now we compare the moles of water with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                               H₂     :     H₂O

                                2      :       2

Mass of water = moles × molar mass

Mass of water =  2 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass of water =  36 g

If the water oxygen is in excess than mass of water would be 36 g.
